So I'm about a week behind on my blogging. Not a whole lot has happened in the past week, so that's possibly why I didn't update you sooner! The week was filled with castings, eating, sleeping, skyping, watching House (thanks to Myron and Brandie for lending me seasons 1-4!!), more castings, going to the gym etc. Fun right? This past weekend I stayed over at Brandie and Myron's house. I went there Saturday afternoon and got back tonight, being Sunday here, around 8 ish. On Saturday they took me on a tour of the kids school. It is called ISB or International School of Bangkok. OH MY GOD. You should see this place! It's from grades 1-12 and it's unbelievable!! It's honestly like a flipping university campus! First, it's huge as ever. It's gated all around and there are guards and gates to get in to the parking lot at the front. It's all open, like obviously there is a roof over the classrooms, lockers etc, but inbetween the hallways its open and stuff. So cool! They have everything here, its unreal. There are separate cafeterias for grades 1-5, middle school and then high school. There is a soccer pitch, a full track, swimming pool, indoor gyms, a couple outdoor gyms, basketball court, baseball diamond, tennis court. You name it, they have it. There is an art building, and auditorium, everything! It is a crazy huge, wild school. I think the whole time we walked around my jaw was dragging on the floor! Kids don't need to bring lunches, it is provided to them at the school. There are different sections in the cafeteria for different kinds of food, sandwiches, noodles, whatever else there is. Also their lockers, at the end of the set there is a door with this square on it, you swipe your student card over the square, go to your locker and open it. Cool hey?! I was just in awe of this school, so thought I'd share it with you! The rest of the time we basically just hung out, watched normal tv, meaning english, no thai, criminal minds included, wooohooo! Nothing to exciting occured during this week that I can remember right now. Oooh except that I am now also blogging for ModelResource! (www.modelresource.com). Just blogging about my adventures overseas modelling, basically like this, but a tad different. I am also the featured model right now too, so check it out! Before I end this for the night, a few things about Bangkok that amuse me, so might amuse you as well:
1. Sometimes drivers like to make their own lanes. I am in a taxi on my way to my moms cousins house, we are on a major road or freeway or whatever you want to call it. Anyway, there are 3 lanes, clearly marked by the dotted white lines. But somehow there are 4 lanes of cars...? I guess the road is big enough, so drivers just get fed up of waiting, fixing the problem by making their own lane? I was slightly confused when this was happening. By the way, my taxi driver was in the fourth, technically non existent lane.
2. People up and down major roads selling these flower things that people hang on their rearview mirrors. They walked inbetween the lanes of cars at red lights. Slightly dangerous I would say? Sometimes there are people selling food too. I guess I can understand that, as sometimes your waiting at a light for literally 180 seconds (it counts down for you at the light).
Thats about all I have for now. Be sure to check out my other blog on modelresource as well! That one will only be updated every couple of weeks though. I'm off to watch House though, check back in a couple days for another update!
