Cooking class

The school didn't appear that big, although there must've been some parts we didn't see, because our class never encountered another group.

We were split up into 2 groups, since we had to do some of the prep work in groups.

One of the items we made was green curry, so each table was tasked with prepping the items to go into the mortar and pestle, which we each took a turn in using.

Our group's curry paste is on the left. We needed a little more elbow grease.

Lunch included a mixed fruit salad to start, including learning how to make a tomato flower,

green curry with chicken over noodles, and the cashew chicken over rice. It was delicious. 

They gave us these adorable covers to keep the flies off the curry while we were cooking the rest of our meal.

Dessert was egg custard in squash, which we also made as a group.

After class, we figured walking back to the hotel was a good idea, even though it was hot. Doing so, rather than taking the metro meant we could see things like
