Thai Boxing anyone????
Well the cute girls have now exprienced Thai boxing. Going into the evening they were not sure what they would think about 2 guys beating the crap out of one another....but it turned out that they liked it. They are lucky enough to have a friend from class who spent a year Thai boxing here and was excited to take them and explain the sport. The learned a few things:
1 Thai boxing is very cultural. They all do a dance before a fight and wear special clothes.
2 The fighters have very good sportsmanship. They smile after getting kicked in the face and hug their opponent between rounds. They also seem very concerned if the knock out their opponent.
3. When making a bet on a fight, choosing the guy with the coolest outfit, in this case a cape with a tiger on it (we love baby tigers...who doesn't?) is not the best tactic. Tiger cape guy got his ass kicked in the first 2 rounds and we were out a beer.

Fun at the beach
A weekend at the beach was much needed after a whole week of being in school. Ocean, sun, good food, a reggae bar what more could we ask for? As usual we cannot go anywhere without crazy shit happening. Paco managed to lose lots of stuff(beer can do that to a person), the list includes: nose ring, 1 flip flop, half a swim suit, and her watch (which she retrieved). While Paco was looking for lost items, Rachel became part of a search party for a lost woman who went out swimming and disappeared. Luckily the woman was found and turned out to be OK.
