    Today was sooo much fun!! We woke up and rented bikes straight away!! Spent the morning driving out of Chiang Mai to a beautiful national park called Mae Sai!!

After this we hiked to the top of the falls! We headed back on our bikes which was so fun and then headed to the night market again for more local food - the food is so good and cheap so we love it! After this we wandered the markets and Olivia got this huge ice cream before heading back to our hostel! We did the bodega bar crawl this night which was sooo much fun around the different bars of Chiang Mai! Met loads of fun people and didn’t end up getting home til 5.30am. The night was of course finished with the famous 7/11 ham and cheese toasties that are 40p and everyone eats after a night out! Such a good day/night!!Baca lagi

    Today was AMAZING! We woke up at 8 and headed to big brother mouse where we were getting the bus from to the Little sister mouse school. 4 of us headed out of town with an American man who had founded the school alongside 2 laos university teaching students! The school was amazing and the children even more incredible. We started off learning about the school and chatting with some young adults helping them practise their English! After this we went and taught 3 pre-school classes one after eachother and it was the CUTEST thing ever. Started off doing headshouldersnkneesandtoes with me stood in the middle of 30 laos 3 year olds was sooo cute! We then taught each class some English including animals and colours was amazing. After this we headed back to help the young adults with their English before having a yummy laos local lunch with all the students! After lunch we had a 10 minute lesson in Laos - it’s the most confusing language ever - if 1 word is said at 3 different pitches it can have 3 different meanings! We also learnt some laos sign language! After this we headed up to the primary school and taught 4 different groups of children with varying English ability description and tenses - was so cute! At the end of the day we danced to music with the children and then played maths games with the young adults. Finished the day playing a world map game with the young adults where you look at a picture and guess what country it is from - it’s so fun and their world map knowledge was actually incredible! Honestly the best day ever - reminded me of India and made me miss it so much! (I Have an amazing video of all the children dancing but can’t seem to upload it here so will show you when I’m home! )Baca lagi

We hadn’t actually booked anything but managed to get a room (shows how relaxed we have got about booking stuff hahah). We then put pretty much our whole bags in for washing and spent the day writing our diaries and chatting with all the Mui Ne boys. Had a yummy lunch and then got ready for the pool party! Was actually really funny and we hung out with our friends from the night bus the night before! Met some girls - one of which had done 1st term uni at Durham and knew Sash before dropping out!

    Today we woke up and said bye to our friends from twickenham which was sad! We spent the morning hanging out with our friends Rosie and Nel who were in our room and Maria! At 11.30 we had to leave this paradise - we were so sad it had been the funnest 3 days everrrrr!! Got the ferry back to Sihnoukville where had our first proper meal in 3 days - was divine! At 6.30 we got picked up for our night bus to Siem Reap. It was absolutely COMICAL - mils and I had been told we were getting a hotel bus with double beds. No joke my claustrophobia took over when I saw this bed, we were like sardines in a single bed together and the ceiling was about 10cm from our heads when we were lying down. We met the funniest group of people on this bus though and luckily this made it slightly bearable haha!!Baca lagi
