Brothers

It has been a lot of fun out here in Thailand so far. I have been able to do a lot of really fun things. And when I am not out and about I am usually here in the complex hanging out with my younger brothers Kenny and Timmy. It has been fun to see how each of them are getting along living here in Thailand.

All I got to say is that Timmy is one chill dude. Real relaxed and just takes things as they come. While I was here Timmy got real sick and had to be taken to the hospital were he stayed for about 2 days. He ended up being alright.

Nichada Thani (The complex my family lives in) is very nice. Their is a pool, grocery store, gym, pretty much all your essentials are here in their complex. There is a large lake in the middle of the complex that has two towers on either side. My family lives in one of the towers on the 5th floor. There are tons of guards every where around. There are also lots of rules which make it real frustrating for Kenny and Timmy when they want to do something fun.

For example, a while ago some kids made a little raft out of bamboo and laid grass and planted a tree on top that everyone called "the Island" and floated it out to the middle of the lake. Well, not too long after it was built Kenny, Timmy, Jordan Phelps, Jordan Hoffein, and I decided that we wanted to go and visit it. The lake is far but not to far that you can't swim to it. But we decided we were going to make a little raft out of those blow up mattresses and paddle out there because we were kind of afraid of the giant fish out there (These fish are huge! Some must be 6 feet long).

Anyways after the raft was built and we tested it in one of the swimming pools we decided that we were ready to venture out to the island. Kenny and I volunteered to be the first to go. Well we used flippers as paddles and made our way out there. Right about the same time that we reached the island we heard the whistles of the guards. No one is really suppose to go swimming in the lake. We got on the island anyway and took a look. Most of the grass was dead from not being watered so we watered it. Then the guards started telling us that they were going to send a boat out to pick us up. So I told Kenny that I was going back and then when I got back I would send Timmy or Jordan to pick him up so one of them would be able to see the island.

Kenny decided that he was just going to chill their on the island. Well, I got to the shore and there was a guard their waiting. So no one was able to get back out to the raft to pick up Kenny. Kenny not wanting to get picked up by the guards in there boat decided that he was just going to make a break for it and swim!

So he put on the flippers and jumped in and swam back to the shore. It was really funny to watch. Sadly though the guards decided that the island was too much of a liability and towed it away.

Well, my brothers are really fun guys and I am glad to be out here in Thailand with them. They have helped to make my trip a memorable one.
