Today, was a very relaxed day. I woke up and walked around Phuket Town, only to find out that stores don't open until 9:00 or 10:00. So frustrating! I wish stores would open early like they do in Vietnam. So since I couldn't really do any souvenir shopping, I went food shopping. And by food I mainly mean desserts. I finally tried mango sticky rice. Basically it consists of what it is called, sticky rice with mango on top. Then it has warmed coconut milk poured over it and toasted sesame seeds on top. It was pretty delicious. That just got my sweet tooth going. I ended up finding this dessert lady that had so many glutinous desserts, I was immediately reminded of me and Alex and our excitement over new desserts in Vietnam– (miss you buddy! #winning) I tried three of them. One was sticky rice with a mung bean center wrapped in a banana leaf, that was probably my favorite! The other two were good but had nothing on the mango sticky rice or the mung bean dessert. All in all, they were pretty good. I wasn't hungry at all, but I thought, "Emma when is the next time you are going to be in Thailand to taste all these foods." Amen. I also bought a soy bean/taro fried patty type thing. It was so good. I snacked so much that I didn't really eat breakfast or lunch, so I was pretty happy when I finally sat down and ate something besides sugar for dinner. I had dinner at a little restaurant just down the road from the Surat Thani train station, where I am now waiting for my train. My bus ride here was really long because I had the most obnoxious boys sitting behind me. How obnoxious were they? Singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall obnoxious. It was a long five hours. But now I am in the train station waiting for my train to Bangkok. The only problem: the 2.5 hour delay. The estimated arrival time is now midnight. Dang it.
