Stephano came back today!!  He had been gone all week between Chiang Mai and Bangkok trying to get a new passport and visa because during the first week he was here, he has lost is passport!  So he has been going through a nightmare trying to get a new one and has been going back and forth between Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai and he finally got back today with a passport and visa!  We had missed him, especially since all of our other old people were gone; it was nice to know that he would be coming back!  There’s only 6 of us left that had all started together.

But besides that excitement, it was more of the same today.  We spent the morning finishing the sorting.  Then in the afternoon we got another truck full of boxes and spent the next couple hours sorting those.  We finished that quickly and then were done for the day.

At night a lot of people were hanging out in the office and everyone wanted to watch a Movie.  So we were all talking about what movie we wanted to watch.

Now, there is this guy that started with my group named Alex.  He’s from Long Island and he’s my age.  He’s a great guy and I really like him, but he has his own little intricacies that take some time to get used to before you really warm up to him, at least that’s how it was for me.  It’s hard to describe him to fully convey his quirks but I guess I can say that he is very thorough in what he does and the stories he tells.  He has this way of getting everyone’s attention and then using his hands to really get interest in the story.  I true Italian way of talking I suppose, using your hands that is, granted I’m not Italian and I use my hands when I talk a lot too.  But anyways, its something that really makes him who he is.  So the point of this story is that you’ll appreciate how we chose what movie we were going to watch.

So in true Alex fashion, he decides we need to take a silent Vote to pick the movie.  Him and Stephano write 10 movie choices on a board and then walked around to each person in the office, probably about 17 in total, and asked them for their vote.  But when giving your vote you had say the number choice not the actual movie title.  Then Alex recorded the votes to find the winner.  The funniest part about it was that everyone was taking it so seriously!

The winner ended up being Toy Story 3 but because of the format it was in, and the specific hook ups we had, we couldn’t watch it.  Instead we watched runner up, The Dark Knight.  We all piled into the building and I’m pretty sure that by the end, just about everyone had fallen asleep!
