Sunday was the day of adjustments...from the time change, to being off the airplanes, to culture I felt myself trying to catch up all day. For the most part we just hung out in the apartment of Tiffany's friend, and then went to the Train Station to board our 16 hour ride to Chaing Mai, which is a large city in Northern Thailand.
Stepping on the train I felt like I was in a scene from the movie "Darjeeling Express", although I did not see the movie, from what I understand from viewing of the preview of their transportation--I was on that train. It was surreal and completely not anything I have ever experienced, thus lending itself to the day of adjustment. We boarded the train at 10:30pm and slept through the night on it, waking up to another four hours on the train...I tried to sleep whenever I could but then felt so lazy. I suppose this was good in feeding the jet lag.
