I met up with about 8 other peace fellows and we venture off to the MBK shopping center to get some lunch and try and get phones and school supplies. MBK is an absolutely massive shopping center! There is a whole floor alone just dedicated to cell phones and a floor is not your typical shopping center this is the size of a large city block and hundreds of small booths set up throughout...slightly overwhelming...none of us ended up getting phones and slowly the group was dwindling as people were lost in the crowds, I came back in a group of three, hopefully the rest find their way back! I did purchase a router for my Internet which has turned out to be great as I was unable to access the wifi in my room previously; I think I now have all my Internet issues worked out! The last of the peace fellows are arriving throughout the day today and we have class starting at 9 am tomorrow. Its hitting the books right away as a lot of material to cover in a short amount of time. I also found out that my presentation is now due on Friday so it will buy me some more time to get it all finalized.

I haven't yet explored too far but so far Bangkok seems to be a great city and very busy! It is very hot and humid here as well, but hey it's better than freezing back home! I will write more soon, just letting you all know I arrived safe and sound.
