This week was our final week at Payap University. For finals I had three papers, one exam, and one presentation. On Thursday night our group went out to a traditonal northern Thai dinner and watched a dance performance while we ate. Our program directors as well as our favorite professor joined us for the dinner. A few of the dances were similar to the ones we learned in our Thai dance class, but one was performed by a male that danced with six knives. After dinner a few of us went to one of our favorite bars to spend our last night together in the city. We returned to campus around midnight to meet up with the whole group and lit lanterns outside of our dorm. We wrote on each other's lanterns before lighting them and releasing them into the sky. It was a great way to celebrate our final night together.
I will be spending a few days in Nan, a town about 6 hours east of Chiang Mai. Andrew, Jack, and one of Jack's friends from home will be joining me as we explore the area from Saturday to Tuesday. Then Tuesday we will be bussing back to Chiang Mai before taking a flight to Kunming, China later that night.
