ma’ sista

dy chilling 

thai food lunch, i have never seen chilli padi that SMALL!!

we moved up the next day off the city of chiangmai into a smaller area called chiangdao. the nature around us was just so amazing and beautiful. couldn’t stop looking at the gorgeous mountains that painted the skies in shawdow-y greys as we drove to our destination. 

the weather at chiangdao was lovely too. a little chilly, so i could snuggle up in my winter jacket from time to time :) we had thai food which was super SPICY. tom yam soup usually has slices of chilli padi, this one had chilli padi the size of beans congregating in my tiny little bowl. haha eggs, kang kong, pork slices and stuff, all yummy! but then again, when one travels in a big group and the focus is not exactly a holiday, one just learns to eat whatever is served to you. but it was kind of fun that way too ;)
