After eating breakfast I take a taxi to Mission Hospital. Behind the Hospital is Bangkok Seventh Day Adventist Church. I've been attending this church since 2009. I attend the service and I'm immediately happy as I find out that it's communion. I partake in the service and find a taxi to take me back to Siam Paragon.
I have lunch at Mos Burger again and I immediately head out to the Shiseido Salon to get a hair cut. I've been heading out to Mos Burger a little too much lately but the alternative was KFC, McDonald's, or Burger King. I didn't fly all the way out here just to eat something I can easily find at home. Mos Burger isn't Thai, it's Japanese for the record, but it sure beats deep fried grass hoppers or scorpions.
I head back out to the gym to catch the afternoon training. I could've easily enjoyed myself more at the mall or head out to another district. However, I remembered that today was Louis's last day before he heads back home to Hong Kong. I really liked Louis, he was pretty much my little brother this past week. I take a motorcycle taxi back to the gym and I was able to catch the last bits of training. I also started socializing with some of the students.
After taking photos with the students and some videos of training we head out to dinner. Saturday night was pretty uneventful as I just did my laundry.
Sunday was a day off for the gym as a whole. I take a taxi back to Siam Paragon with the intention of having Lunch, dinner, and to watch a movie. It's been a couple of years since I watched a movie overseas and Siam Paragon's theater is apparently second to none. I had lunch at Mos Burger, again, and went up to the fifth floor to catch the racing movie "Rush". Rush is a biopic about the 1976 Formula Season between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Being a big Formula One fan back in the day I found it imperative that I check it out. Also, Ron Howard was directing it so I was pretty excited.
The movie was awesome but trailers and commercials were too long. Back home in the States you'll probably watch about 10 - 15 minutes of trailers about upcoming movies. In Thailand you'll watch trailers of Thai Movies, a few US ones, and a slew of Thai Commercials. All in all it's about 30 minutes before the actual movie starts.
After the movie I head off to Dinner at Burger King, sorry guys, but I was craving it. Afterwards I was about to get a taxi when I decided to get the kids at the gym something to eat. I bought a dozen doughnuts from Krispy Creme and jetted back to the gym. When I arrived the doughnuts were snapped up and I then realized that I should have bought another box.
I can already feel the effects of training. About 2 hours after I ate at Burger King I was hungry again. Luckily the gym cafeteria was open. I eat the clean portions of chicken, vegetables, and rice. As I am typing this I am also cleaning up my room.
Anyways, I feel great and strong. More importantly I feel blessed that I am able to train.
