Since we got back early from Lop Buri there was no time for sleep since 3 hours later was the US vs. Canada olypic hockey game for the gold. About 8 of us headed over to Khao San Rd. (the backpacker street in Bkk) at 3 am so we would be there for the 3:30 am start of the game. There were only 2 americans in the entire pub another exchange student and myself. And it was funny to hear a Canadian guys explanation as to why there weren't more americans he said "how would Americans be here in Bangkok, Americans don't travel." The more that I think about it the guy was right since I have been in Thailand I have ran into people from all around the world but usually the only Americans I run into are other exchnage students or people visiting the exchange students or the occasional ones on trips to different islands. It is kind of sad to see how people from other countries take months off at a time to travel the world to see what is out there and how Americans just stay in America because they are content with their surroundings and would never think of traveling around a country like Thailand. Anyways back to the Olympics as most of you know the match did not end in favor of the US and going to watch the match jsut to see how crazy the Canadians got after they won in overtime made the all-nighter worth it. Except for the fact that I got back aroudn 6:30 am and saw the sunrise after spending the entire day in Lop Buri and would be going to the crocodile farm after a little nap.
