Chiang Mai is a brilliant place and we have already had some fantastic nights out. We went out last night on a 50 baht challenge, which equates to a pound. We had a laugh, then walked home as we couldn't afford a taxi.
The language course is really intense and I feel as if my head is about to explode, I feel like I know so much, but can never recall the right words at the right time, which is a pain when some Thai man is trying to charge me twice as much for some food!
We went to an Irish pub, which was incredible. I never realised some things I would miss about home, like Pies, Guinness and Rugby on the TV. The three together were a match made in heaven!
I was horribly sick the other day and had to miss the afternoon class, after stumbling home in the heat with a pounding head, I stripped off and got in the shower, I then sat on the floor and proceeded to be sick, lovely. I went to bed and woke up feeling much fresher.
I left David with my laptop last night so that he could watch a film and when I saw him again in the morning, he seemed a bit shaken. He started apologising profusely and I was a little confused, until he pulled my laptop from the wardrobe. I was stunned, I couldn't speak at all, all I did was go for a shower in silence. Turns out he had put it in the case and it slid out and fell to the floor, dinting and scratching the top and leaving a lovely array of cracks across the screen.
He has promised to get it fixed, and as it is only superficial damage, it should be fairly easy!
After all this, we had finished our lessons for the day and came out to find that Holly had collapsed in the other class. She was really not with it and everyone was really worried, however, Stephen was saying that she was having a seizure and might die. Me, Beth and Simon escorted her to hospital to find that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her. It was quite entertaining in the hospital though as we were just allowed to wander round whilst Holly was getting tested. We went to get her an ice cream, but by the time we got it to her, it was more like a strawberry milkshake.
The 4 of us have formed a 'Wolf Pack" as we bought bracelets with it written on. This came from our outing to 'BEN' cocktail bar and this women approaching us with assorted bracelets.
All the other volunteers are obviously mega jealous!
Love and Kisses from the land of the Thai

Still delighted that you are still enjoying yourself and I would not worry about the odd illness, it is always likely to happen.
