I went to an aerobics class!!! Every week day there is a huge communal aerobics class in the main park at 6pm. 100+ Thai women showed up. It was truly the most intense workout i have ever been to. They play this hilarious Thai music - that hardly has a beat - and the moves are so ridiculously fast. The first 15 minutes are spent "warming up," and before you know it your jumping around while waving your arms in the air while spinning in circles while trying not to laugh. It was a crazy experience, but I am so glad that I did it would really like to go back when I have another free night.
On an interesting side note, in Thailand, there is a color for every day of the week (monday yellow, tuesday pink, ect...) and if you wear the color, the royal family is supposed to live longer. The relation this has to my aerobics story is that you've got about 75 of the 100 women wearing blue. I though there was some sort of a special aerobics uniform before I figured out this reason for their matching. It was truly something to behold.
