Three Starbucks coffees later and I have finally arrived in Chiang Mai. I got tons of cool cloud pictures but unfortunately it was 11pm in Chiang Mai when I arrived so I couldn't really see much. One thing I can say for sure is that the average temperature is 35-42 degrees Celsius! The heat literally hits you like a wall when you walk out of the airport. I will never complain about our summer weather ever again. Thus far I have met some wonderful people! Maggie is from North Carolina studying art at the University of North Carolina and will be staying for the same amount of time as me. There is also another Maggie, she graduated from university 3 years ago and decided to quit her job and come work with Cultural Canvas Thailand. "I've fallen in love with this place and I want to stay here as long as I can, Thailand is a beautiful place!"- Maggie (2). Finally there is Dan, who helps run Cultural Canvas Thailand, he too has fallen in love with Thailand and is from Australia. And of course I'm always hungry so I've already eaten some delicious authentic Thai cuisine. Can't wait to walk around and see what's in store tomorrow! |
