I made a DW comm! [community profile] mandarin101, if you're interested. Nothing is posted there yet! I will try and fix it up some when I get regular Internet access, and maybe post it around some. There's gotta be more than a handful of Chinese learners on DW, small as it is.

Had a great time with my new Thai friends yesterday, about a dozen of them; they invited me on an excursion to nearby Jiji, where we rented bicycles and went sightseeing around the town. We went go kart racing, which was so much fun it would actually have been illegal in the United States, I'm pretty positive—the car was essentially powered by what appeared to be a lawnmower strapped to four wheels and a metal frame. After that we saw a train station, then a temple, then we rode through an open air market and made our way up and down a hilly two lane highway. It had pretty spectacular scenery, all sorts of mountains and trees and plants and tiny shops and stuff, and I'm more sore from the exercise than I can remember being in years.

I had a few moments of, Holy shit, this is my life? I've only been in the country for a few days!
