Today was the fastest day ever! I can't believe it's already over. This morning half of our group went to Akha to pick fruits while half of us went to teach baby yoga at Lahu. They were so cute the whole time during yoga until after we finished. They were out of control! Seriously, we were like okay, we gotta leave now! Haha then we met the other group at Akha & helped them pick fruits. We did that for a long time. Like a few hours. We took a break & Aroon fed us lunch. Super yummy masaman curry with vegetables. He cut all the vegetables in different shapes for us. He's seriously the best. Aroon & his wife both are so solid. They are like the power couple. Then we picked more fruits. I would describe the fruit as a grape & cantaloupe mixed with the texture of a grapefruit. They aren't that great. I still ate a million though because we were picking them for so long. Basically, the dudes would cut off branches with machetes then bring them over to us to pick the fruit off. We ended up with about 8 huge bags! He then sold them to some place for 8000 baht! Cool. That's all we really did today cause it's the weekend now! We are all staying here in fang though so it's been a pretty chill night. Some of us napped for like three hours & now we're about to make brownie pancakes. We call them pancakes because no oven.
