Thailand- day 29

Day 29 Mon 9/24
We woke up early and had breakfast, and hung out for a little while before we started our trek. We hiked to three waterfalls, small, big, and bigger, and we're able to swim in all of them. We were lucky to get such a great group of people to trek with and really had fun getting to know them. It's interesting to hear about the different English words there are in use, like lady bugs and lady birds, flashlights and torches, sleep in and lay in, and so many more. It's also cool to hear about how countries differ, like how people feel about having a king and queen, like here in Thailand, and learning about how in Israel, everyone must go to the military when they graduate high school, boys for three years, and girls for two years. As we hiked, our guide, Good, cut down pieces of bamboo and, with his knife,made the whole group bamboo bowls and chopsticks (we were going pretty quick too). It was cool and I finally got down how to use chopsticks. We finished our hiking and waterfalls around 4:30 and finished at the elephant camp, where we were sleeping for the night. At night, Ronen and Shahar taught us a new card game called Unsako, that we loved and will definitely bring home to the US.
