A WORLD of Opportunities I will be volunteering with the Northern Hill tribes in Thailand for two weeks and then will be traveling to Cambodia and Vietnam, to visit my sis!

Today Nicole and I decided to teach at school in the morning and then head to the Golden Triangle! This is where you are able to see Myanmar/Burma, Thailand and Laos! When we arrived we were in awe! There was a massive Golden Buddah, the Mekong River and various shops. We took tons of photos and then decided to cross over to Laos! We jumped into a small wooden boat that sat really low to the water and sped off! It was wonderful to feel a cool breeze in our face for once! When we arrived in Lao we were at the Laos Market! We were very excited to shop...that is what we do best! :) The first stall that we visited had bottles of snake whiskey! It actually has real Cobras inside the bottle! (Dead of course!). The man offered us a taste and since we were feeling very adventurous we decided to try it! It was very strong but not as bad as I was expecting! After the snake whiskey we visited each stall then headed back to Thailand. On the drive back we stopped off by the opium museum for a drive around the fields. It was a huge complex! Sadly, opium is still very popular in Northern Thailand, especially with the hill tribe villages. Finally we reached our guesthouse and chilled out for the rest of the night in Mae Sai. I can't believe how much I am getting to see of Asia in just three weeks! By the end of the journey I will have been to Laos, Thailand, Burma, Cambodia and Vietnam...not bad!
