Macgyver...(I sense a theme here)

So we're all moved into our 3 bedroom house that's very close to the Kingdom Hall in Krabi. We're renting a washing machine and refrigerator from a brother and sister that don't live in Thailand anymore. So as I'm setting up the washing machine I crank the hose too tight and crack the hose adapter. As water is spewing everywhere I'm frantically trying to shut it down. Well there goes my laundry plans for the day... I ask our very kind Thai neighbor to come look at it for us and he superglued it so I could finish washing my sheets ;) As we finished setting up I notice that the outtake hose is also screwed up. Holes everywhere.. (I knew I should have brought my purple duct tape!) Our temporary fix lasts for one load and I realize I'm gonna have to remedy the situation. So I go searching for the Thai equivalent of the Home Depot. As I walk through the doors I haven't felt more at home than in that moment..it even smelled like Home Depot! Unfortunately they didn't have the parts I needed but it was a hilarious experience. I think they thought it was the funniest thing to see some random white girl looking for parts to fix her washing machine. Good times. They told me to go to a store down the street where they also don't have the piece I'm looking for. So I buy what will work as an outtake hose and get a garden hose adapter for the other hose. Even though I was bummed for the hoses breaking that day I can't lie it totally made my day to be able to Macgyver these pieces together. (Thanks Dad! You taught me well)
Girls from China are visiting this week. Originally from Spain and Columbia. That has been awesome. They are very encouraging to be around :) Yesterday we all went to visit the Thailand bethel in Bangkok where we were told by a brother who has been there for 20 years 'stay in Thailand!' It was a great experience :) He bribed us with chocolate heehee
Today Leah and I went exploring Bangkok a little more than last time. I ended up spending as much money as I would have in the states to watch a movie. But get this, it was a Bollywood and didn't even have English subtitles :/ but it was entertaining enough to keep me there haha
We have an English assembly to go to this weekend and we're really excited to meet people from all over Asia that have moved here from all over the world :)
Sunday we head for northern Thailand so more adventures to come!
Love you all!
P.S. lastly a pic of the ever glorious squat toilet..
