We went to prison

OK, well, not quite. After a long day at cooking class involving huge amounts of delicious food cooked by us (with supervision), Krisi and I were in need of a little pampering. So, we did what any girls in Chiang Mai would do....we went to the Women's Prison....spa. Female prisoners in their last 6 months of incarceration are trained for skilled labour upon their release. In this case, the women are being trained to offer maasages and other esthetic services, they get to earn a little money, and when they are released, they have a skill to enable them to earn money. So, we got a little bit of pampering and got to give a little back to the community.

Tomorrow we are going to be visiting the Elephant Nature Foundation, where abused elephants are allowed to live their days in peace. Friday we will be going to have the Flight of the Gibbons, involving ziplining through the trees.

And honestly, I think it's pretty likely that Krisi and I will be going back to prison again. Avoid prison? Not when there are massages to be had!
