Dinner with the Church

It was a long week of being at camp.  I was tired of not being able to communicate with most of the people around me, and really just wanted to relax.  But, the church really wanted us to go with them to one last event: dinner.  Even though I wasn't thrilled to go, I had an amazing time.  

The restaurant sat us on the cement ground near a river, HoungNam.  "Nam" is water in Thai, for those of you who don't know.  You'd think that sitting on the ground would be dirty and weird, but it's actually really fun.  You sit at a really little table, cross your legs, and enjoy the world from a child's perspective.  It's very different from American restaurants. 

It was truly an enjoyable evening.  We all had such a good time laughing, eating really good soup (which you cook right in front of yourself in a big pot!), and enjoying the view of the river at night.  I know I'm really going to miss events such as these.
