Dreamworld

The day after Gavin left, I headed out to Dreamworld, one of the (or the only) theme park in Thailand with Celeste and our Thai friend, Mai. It was a day full of silly pictures, cheesy shows, yummy food, and absolute hilarity.





































Totally rode this...but with much-needed ponchos haha

So I got it into my head that I HAD to have this giant stuffed rhinoceros...and threw upwards of 900B at various 'games' in a vain attempt to acquire said rhino...to no avail. Mai and Celeste patiently looked on, stifling their laughter as I stubbornly refused to give in to defeat. After about an hour, having repeatedly failed every miserable thing I tried, and nearly in tears over it, in true Thai fashion (and compassion), the workers took pity on me and gave me a consolation prize, a small white stuffed bear with a bright pink bow. Not quite what I was going for, but they were so nice to give it to me I couldn't say no. Sigh...

Last on the agenda for the day, we sat in on the special effects show...and Celeste so wonderfully volunteered me to join in the fun. It was...interesting. But fun did ensue. :)
