You wan masaaaaaage

Ah, exhausted from the 3 day trek. It was fantastic, we stayed in a Karen Village and at a Waterfall in these little grass huts that they villagers live in. It was great to get out of the city and away from everything. There were a strange mix of about a dozen people on the trip. A group of Korean girls that spent the majority of the time wiping themselves with little towels (they don't like to sweat in their culture, apparently?). Then, in the evenings they would spend hours washing their clothes and applying makeup, it was one of the strangest things I have seen on the trip. They made the OCD guy from Double Dare look normal. Obviously, there were 3 Israelis on the trip...don't they have some sort of land dispute going to take care of and not be hanging out in Thailand? Maybe, I'm wrong? If you didn't notice, this is the part of the blog where I rant about stuff, I've been in the jungle for 3 days, give me a break....also, on the trip was a group of 5 british girls who talked incessantly, about nothing. On the ride back to the city, they had resorted to describing drawings they made in Pre-School. Ok, I'm done. Anyway, the trip was amazing and probably contained some of my favorite moments from the trip. It made me think about doing a longer Eco-Trek sort of thing on my next adventure. Its great, the guide explains the culture and you harvest your lunch/dinner from the jungle while you are hiking.

GREAT NEWS! I made it to the Second Round of the Application process for a City Planning job in Oregon. It is a job for a year and then onto grad school at Portland State. So, I need to figure out how I am going to drive up there from LA when I return to the states....
