Today taught us what it is like to be flexible when traveling. We got ensnared in very heavy traffic in central Bangkok and some of us did not make our flight to Chiang Mai. Half of the group was able to board the flight and the other half needed to wait a bit. Luckily, the airline company was accommodating and we were able to board the next available flight, whew!
Our group was reunited in Chiang Mai and we went to cooking school. We had a lot of fun and learned to make delicious stuff! We ate something called "a thousand year old egg." The egg had black yolk and tasted like a regular egg but salty. The teacher said the egg was cooked with ashes then they added salt and kept it for over 100 days.
They taught us how to make tom and yum soup, spring rolls, green curry with chicken, pad Thai with tofu and last but not least, steamed banana cake. All of the food was really good. We were surprised how easy those items were to make!
We learned how to shop for our food at the market.

Teamwork goes a long way!
Quickly becoming a pro! Amberley attended cooking school in Peru. Perhaps becoming a chef is in her future plans.

We had a lot of fun at the cooking school. Don't be afraid to ask us to cook for you when we get back!
We are looking forward to going elephant trekking tomorrow. Have a good day!
