Dancing and Kickboxing

Sorry again, the weekends here are quite slow. Though this weekend had some highlights. My goal was to get as much sleep as possible so both days I didn't leave my bed till at least 8am. Saturday was a bit boring as we spent most of the time at our hostel reading and lounging around the pool. I had new roommates that all seemed very fun and I invited them to go watch kickboxing with Brent and I. Unfortunately, we were given the wrong time and we showed up 5mins before the end of the last fight. Bummed about missing the fight we returned to the hostel and they invited me to go out dancing with them. So we drank and got to know each other at the hostel then ventured out and bar hopped all night. I had a blast and gained some great intel on where/where not to go in SE Asia. Finishing the night at 3am everyone slept in the next morning until nearly noon. My only plan for the day was to go watch kickboxing. Brent and Lori rented a scooter and tried to find the zoo but returned bloody and scraped up from a moto accident near a construction site. Don worry, Lori (and baby) are ok, apparently she landed/surfed on Brent and sustained minor scrapes. After laughing with them about it Brent and I took off for kickboxing. There were a ton of people and everyone was shouting bets in a pure chaotic manner. I liked the opening ceremonies for each match. The boxers would go through a preyer routine and then thank the crowd, ref, and each other before going at it. There was much more grappling than I originally thought but it was amateur night. It was quite fun and being a whole head taller than everyone here helped us get a great view.
We only have a few more days left at the clinic and then we head off to Thailand. I can't wait! I don't know why the comments section is not working for some of you.. I tried it and it worked just fine. Stay tuned!
