SO.. aa today was amazing. I woke up and meet up with the team of Book of Hope and went to do some of the tourist things. We went to the Temples in the Grand Palace area and the Laying Down Buda. It was amazing. So beautiful. Before we did anything first we had to get a taxi to get there and that was a mess.. the team got split up because we had to take two taxi, my taxi got there to the temple, but the taxi dropped the team off about a mile or two away from the temple were the rest of the team was. So they had to walk and we waited. As i waited the people all around me,, alot of them were talking in all different language. I whispered to ashley a team leader for the Hope team, this must have been what it sounded the day at Pentecost. It was amazing how many people were there. It was crazy. I got bored of waiting so i cross the street and was looking at all the market items.. there was alot to buy for cheap 10 bt for alot of the stuff so i got my first things from Thailand they are really pretty. Then i had my first experience with being bon dared be people wanting me to buy something. This guy wanted me to buy a piece of cloth. first it was lol 500 bt for one and then i was like NO thank you and then he was like oooo ok 5 for 500 bt i was like no thank you and he was like OOO you are a tuff one..Ok 8 for 500 bt i was no i am not buy anything like that... he was like ok ok i like you 10 for 500 bt i was like wow that is good but no thank you.. he was like ok ok 1 for 100 bt.. AAAA i was like NO thank you and across the street lol. It was fun seeing how low he would go but it was enough for me.. So after that.. the team was finally there. so we went on our way.. to see the laying down Buda.
it was SO SO BIG.. beautiful but HUGE.. i like looking at it because i was like wow people really love him. after taking a lot of picture we left got some fruit at a stand and then went to buy more stuff. i love the people here.. they are so nice.. i wanted to buy string to put up my hair and i asked this guy how much for the string he was like i buy for you.. he gave it to me.. they are so nice. After being bon bared by the same group of people again. we went into the Grand Temple area. And that was amazing to see. There was these really big Building made for the past kings and queens. They put their bones in them and the smaller buildings around them are the place they put the Buddhist monks in. The other big thing at the temple area was the Emerald temple. This place is really secret for the people in thailand. So i was not able to take a picture in it.. I got yelled at a little because i took out my camera to take a picture..OPPS. The rest of the place was beautiful. One thing that i found funny was that they had the like little patches of grass everywhere with a tree in it and it was a sign saying Stay off Lawn. I laughed because it was smaller then a black board and it was a lawn haha.. 
After seeing all of it. we went back to the hotel and i take a taxi back to De house. Later on that night, we went to a small group thing with all the missionaries that 
young in the area. That was so much fun, Thai food
and games.. we played this one game called Emperor. It was so much fun, I will play it with some people at school it will be so much fun. So it was a good day.. but my picture at the end of
day is what made me happy. I will always remember the day that i went, and i can remember the look forever.
