Well, I am home, Believe it or not (I still don't quite frankly). And here's what I have been up to in my last days in Thailand:
Well, since I had lots of time to spare and errands to run, I got up yesterday morning, happy and full of spirit (I got Ruach, Yes I do!)- After running my errands I headed back to my room...only with no key. Slightly panicked I went to the clerk, mumbling something about leaving my key in my room, and after almost an hour he let me in- only to find out I did in fact drop it on the floor before I left. Tough call. The place hates Israelis (Can't blame them, though), so I was rather worried....but It turned out for the best.
Then it occurred to me that I still have almost 9 hours left, so I handled it in the female way- went shopping at the mall. Oh god, it was painful. But fun.
Then I decided to see Harry Potter (quite an over dose since I'm reading the last one) when something unexpected happened- the screen showed the following announcement:"Please pay the proper respect to his majesty", as the national anthem was playing and photos of the king were rolling on the screen. Everyone stood up. I was completely baffled by the whole thing, and it was rather...unusual. They sure love the king...
After that I went back to Khao San road, spent lots of time doing lots of nothing and headed on to the airport-and 11 hours later I got Home!
The funny thing is that my cousin in making Aliyah and joining the army, so right after I was picked up by my sister we headed off to her Aliyah ceremony- Which I have to say was very nice, very exciting and a very strange way to spend my first few hours back in Israel after being away.
Anyway, I guess this is my last post...since I'm back I don't see much point of proceeding. I will however post a short update when I put up the last batch of photos.
For all of you who read my blog for the past Three months- well, thanks I guess. Not sure if any of actually did, but I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
