We just got back from another good camp. We went to another resort in the hills. It was alot of fun. We did most of the same things. We played games and did the fashion show again. One of the models was the statue of liberty. We also went to a big dam on our way back that was a park. One of the girls bought me a monkey as a gift there. There were some interesting kids there. One of the Muslim girls is a break dancer. Also some groups consider themselves in "gangs" but is more like a group. They go to movies and do different stuff together. One of the groups was named jigkapomp meaning gecko. I also learned to play Thai paper, rock, scissors. They play it as a handshake type game.

We got to watch a little TV while we were there. The news was all about the "red shirts". They went through with their plan and dumped blood all around the Prime Minister's house and Parliament. Most of the Thai people we asked don't like to comment on the whole situation. However, we did make fun of it in a skit at camp. The kids, the "red shirts", overthrew me, the prime minister, and threw blood on me so that they could become the teachers. It is a really bizarre situation and bizarre protest.

The last night there, I stayed in the boys' cabin. We played Uno for a while. Then we got into talking about Muslim culture. They were wearing their sarongs and wanted me to try on one. The camp was alot of fun and I learned alot. Shaun and I are looking into going into the beach or into Chang Mai this week.
