Today we are in Bangkok and are touring around the city. We spent the morning shopping and Sam got her computer fixed (it wouldn't turn on! it turned out to be the memory) and I bought a new camera! I got a Nikkon D40x!
After shopping we decided to take a tuk tuk ride around the city... it's a little motorcycle cart with seats on the back! It was so much fun! We zoomed in and out of traffic all afternoon seeing Budda after Budda and many different sites! It was awesome!
Tomorrow we are off to the floating markets and a tiger santuary, where we will play with grown tigers all day long! Then Sunday we are flying back to KL again to meet our group, and unfortunately it's the end of our trip and time for studies :)

Aww, look at you two on the tuk tuk. You are such tourists!
I heard you guys got to pet a tiger at the sanctuary. I bet you thought they were like Bruce but much bigger... with the chance they could bite you in half with one chomp!
Keep having fun and teach the kids lots in the next few weeks!
David
Regarding your swimming antics, I knew it was just a matter of time until the clothes came off... Carrie, I'm so glad you're staying in Michigan! The trick will be getting Sam to come back to East Lansing for some reunions. I'll keep my ears open for job opportunities. If all else fails, you know how often a certain someone in the teamroom needs a sub! Love you guys, favorite ct
