It is stunning how quickly the time has passed between now and when i wrote my last post.

December 27 to February 9.

At this point it looks like I have 4 months left in Mongolia. School will most likely be finished by June 9 and I do not plan on sticking around much after that. I may travel with some fellow PCVs to China or somewhere for a bit, and then I will be headed home.

All of this is exciting and all, but there's something else on the very near horizon I'm much more focused upon just now. In 3 short days I will be on a plane to Bangkok!

That's right everyone, I'm going to Thailand. For two weeks. I plan to go to the beach, eat fruit, go to the historic sites, eat fruit, look at elephants, eat fruit and also, from time to time, eat fruit.

Notice none of the above goals are to be like Clare Danes or Kate Beckinsale and end up in a Thai prison for the rest of my life because I met a cute drug dealer.

Anyway I checked the weather report. At the moment it is 90 degrees Ferenheit warmer in Bangkok than it is in Ulaanbaatar. Do you think my body will be able to handle this change?

So my friends left for Beijing on a train this morning. I am meeting them in Bangkok, as I am flying. I didn't have enough out of country days after my trip to the states last summer to go to China too. But that is ok. I have plenty for Thailand.

Next time I post I will tell you all about the beaches and sun and beauty of Asia's southern coast.

Until then, take care and be well!

Much love,
Carrie
