Ross in Thailand 
April 8, 2003
Hey SRHS,
How is everyone?? I turned the big 18 on the weekend! We had a huge
BBQ and invited all our Canadian and Thai friends! We have so much food
left over, but there was about 10 times as much in the first place. We
were all stuffed! We're probably going to be eating steak and pork chops
for the next month. I got lots of nice presents ... but the really great present
... was chocolate! Cadbury chocolate! I've been dying for good
chocolate and i got it! It doesn't seem like a big deal, but here it is!
I've had it for breakfast the past two days. haha. It's a good thing
there isn't much left!
There is an island that's an hour and a half boat ride away from here that Lindsey and some other kids and I are thinking about going to for a little trip. The other guys have already been there and they said you get a tour of the island in one day and you see everything. Then you sleep in a shack in the woods. I find that a little frightening. Then again we still have to see what the parents think about all of this!
Yesterday Lindsey, two of our friends, and i all went to the Samilla pool.
We got there around 3-ish, and we didn't leave until they kicked us out when
they closed the pool! We went to this free bbq afterwards at this little Irish
place. We didn't stick around long enough to get the food!! About 5
minutes after we got there, this really intoxicated guy came along and the owner
asked him politely to leave. (He was there earlier making a big show).
Some people may want to stop reading here! Anyways, after asking him
nicely about 500 times the owner started yelling at him to leave. Then the
owner's wife came out, a small Thai woman. And the guy hit her. We
couldn't believe it. Then the owner hit him, but the guy started beating
on the wife, so this other man we know (really nice guy, honestly!) came over
and broke a chair over the guy's head. Then when the drunk guy started
coming in our direction we got out of there ... QUICKLY! But i forgot my
bag so i had to go back. Then the owner explained about what happened and
apologised. And now i get a free hamburger. haha. So that was our
big excitement! We just went out for pizza after that, and i ran into this
guy i met at the pool ... who i had told to go to the free bbq! He said he
couldn't find it and i told him he was lucky! haha.
I think that is all the big excitment in Thailand for now! Oh, and for my
family that's reading ... I got into St. Marys! ![]()
love, brittany![]()
