Day 39 basketball dinner 2/8/14

Today we spent the majority of the morning skyping friends and family. Afterwards we walked to the mall,where we bought the last of our backpacking items;sleeping bags and cooking utensils. By the time we got back to the apartment it was time to get ready for basketball, so we got dressed and headed to the school.We played  for a couple of hours, getting a good workout in. The leader of our basketball group organized for all of us to go out to dinner afterwards. Most people drove, but Ryan and I walked. We met at a Mexican  Restaurant called "The salsa kitchen". There were about eight of us who showed up; five Germans, a Russian, a Thai, and one American.  This was the first time that we hung out, outside of the basketball court. It was really fun getting to know everyone on a more personal level. We shared stories of traveling through South East Asia, and discussed other topics such as, our professions, and which NBA basketball teams we preferred.The conversations were great, but the dinner was even better. The restaurant had the best guacamole and chips, and our entrees were delicious. After dinner we walked back to our apartment where we spent the rest of night.
