Wedding madness

Though I still have no pictures to post, the past 2 days have been a neverending wedding extravaganza! Festivities were capped off with our friend Amit riding to the hotel following a hired marching band as he rode a horse! I'll post pics when I get back but I have truly never seen anything like this wedding! Though my personal preference would be to ride a small elephant, I'll give Amit a pass at his choice of livestock to make an entrance on.

Today, we are going to tour Bangkok proper and then go to a Thai Boxing match tonight. Then off to a night market and beer garden. Yesterday we went to a tailor and had bespoke suits custom made for us as we picked out our fabric and they took our measurements. I ordered 2 3-piece suits and had 3 shirts made. I can't wait for the final fitting and to see the final product!

Made it!

So we have successfully made it to Bangkok last night after 30+ hours of travel time, 18 hours of which were in flight. Though we were dead tired the next morning, we went to something cool called the Floating Market where you are paddled around in gondolas along a canal and other vendor boats are selling you goods and food. I successfully scored a fake Rolex which looks quite badass on my wrist.

Tonight we are going to the reception of our friends' wedding and in traditional Indian garb, us class mates will perform the Jai Ho dance for all of Amit's family and friends. I will once again be in a sari. Tomorrow we are touring Bangkok some more and going to many temples. It's time for me to crash out before tonight's festivities!

End of School

Well ladies and gentlemen, my first year of B-school is FINISHED! Starting June 8th, I'll be working for Lockheed Martin in Orlando, FL (I know- very random) and I am off to THAILAND tomorrow to attend a classmates' wedding and do some serious relaxing on the beach (again.) I'll try to blog while I'm away!

Sloan Temple Pilots!

I attended the maiden show of the Sloan temple pilots, a band made up
of some of my classmates. They debuted in a Beacon Hill apartment. My
favorite song just might have been their Johnny Cash cover though it
was a bit too oompa-band. Can't wait to see their first real
performance!

Star trek opening!

What better way to spend a Thursday night than to go to the midnight
show of star trek on IMAX! Nerd alert!
