Chiang Mai!!!!
This weekend, we finally made it to the beautiful city of Chiang Mai. This is where we will be spending a total of 10 days exploring pharmacies and universities in the northern part of Thailand. Saturday and Sunday, we got time to shop around the markets, play pool with friends, and even attended a cooking class. The markets varied in size depending on what day you went, Sunday being the bigger of the two. Pool was also very interesting considering that here in Thailand the game called "Snooker" is more popular than pool. This is a game that involves smaller pockets along with smaller pool sticks making it harder for us to play. Even though it has only been two days, Chiang Mai seems like it has a lot in store for us to do and explore.
