One of my fondest memories of October Break will be Chiang Mai. Almost missing the plane, which I must say was an experience for sure. I can't believe that we were seconds away from not getting on. I have never in my life had that happen. I think though what I learned most about Chiang Mai is that friendships are what you make of them. Amidst the craziness of yet another wedding reception. (okay so I make it sound like there were so many really only 2) I realized about friendships. There are a variety of friendships that I have found myself in the middle of and well it is hard to read each one. I am tossed between them all, but I did have fun...so here are some of the things that I did while in Chiang Mai
*Flora 2006
It was a huge flower garden, with different countries represented. Apparently in 2006 it was a major thing, but now it is open and still beautiful but not as many flowers I guess
*Wedding reception
I have an amazing green dress, which will serve another purpose as my sister's wedding comes up next July. Super exciting though and just a fun experience
*Staying in a thai home
A family that works for habitat for humanity allowed me to stay in their home and it was beautiful def a highlight of the trip. I met their daughter in Singapore at the Eagles Summit Leadership Conference. It was really a lot of fun!
I was able to go and see the palace that is in Chiang Mai. It was really beautiful and fun
. Except in the middle of our trip it started raining so we had to wait on the rain for about 15 minutes. Before we decided just to plunge through it. It was a fun day up in the mountains though.

We also went to a few more places: Chiang Mai University, a Lepor colony, the ruins from ancient Chiang Mai times and I even got to do some karyoke.
It was fun and I am glad to be having some thai adventures!
