My wonderful weekend

This weekend is one of the wonderful weekends in Vancouver. I had quite a busy schedule. First, on friday, I went to a Thai cultural showcase in Richmond. I felt like I was in Thailand at that time. It was my first feeling since I have been here for a year. I sometimes feel like it is so hard to find Thai people in Vancouver. When I was studying in private school, I had some Thai friends. Even though it is not good to speak our own language, sometimes I need to be with people who have same culture and language. The reason for this is that I can expect what I want from them. For instance, I just realized how strong our friendship is in Thai culture. It is different from friendship in other cultures. By the way, I was so happy to feel like being at home again. I saw Thai dance, ate Thai food and mingled with Thai people. You can see my pictures below.

On Saturday, I went to Summer Live festival in Stanley park. We enjoyed listening to live music in the park and doing activities in the festival. It was so crowded in the park. We took a free shuttle from Waterfront station to the park. Can you believe? It took almost one hour to get there because of the traffic. After we saw everything in the park, we decided to walk along sea wall back to downtown. On the way back, we saw a man walking with a snake on his neck. I was so freak-out. I think he was not supposed to do that in a public place. Even though he seemed to be familiar with his snake, it didn't guarantee that he could definitely control it. We walked pass him quickly. I almost ran. Once we got to downtown, we went to ramen shop. It was yummy. Then, we went to drink bubble tea.

It's so crowded here.

On Sunday, my Korean friends came to my house. We cooked and drink together. I drank So-Mac(Soju+Macju) again this time. It taste incredibly good. I love eating spicy food! Right now, they just left my house. So I'm doing homework now and I'm going to a movie tonight!

    Chanida, there is a mistake. The caption under the third picture really belongs under the fifth picture! (Of course, the caption also belongs under the picture of each of those young people who are your equals in beauty, which means everyone in our 600W class, except for TP and Chieu. I don't think they would want me to consider them beautiful!)

    Oh dear: sometimes I just get carried away! ;-P

    Oh yes: please don't drink too much beer mixed with soju! ;-)

    (Note: this comment is the same as the comment I posted and deleted, except that this version contains a correction of a late editorial change which I realized this morning to have been a vocabulary error. The new word is "people" ;-).)

    Nice weekend!! I can understand that it is good to have a friend who is from a same country even though you don't speak to his/her in your language.
    I love Thai food by the way!!

    Busy week end, that's good! I can understand that sometimes we need to talk with people of our country, especially when you've been here for one year. I like Thai food too! It lacks that in my homestay ;)

    Everyone: I'm glad to know that you like Thai food. I hope I can cook for you guys one day!

    Xiao : My friends made those sushi(actually, they are called 'Kimbab'). I just help them cut the vegetables. My friends are good cooks. The food was delicious!
