Friday was Thai Day at school. No teaching. Kids dressed up, ate food and went home early. Teachers stayed and were productive. Here are some pictures of that:
Saturday went on a bit of a bike ride (by far the slowest driver of our group) (by far) (hear that mom??) (and I wear a helmet..and no Brigitte, mom didn't make me wear a helmet inside the house as a kid due to my mildly frequent hospital encounters) Went "tubing" down this "river". Only reason I did it was well 2 reasons: it looked sort of fun and Kait and Stu from Kait and Stu said they did it before and really liked it and they're Canadian. So we rent these super small tubes and tube down this river. Well. The water level was lower than before and these tubes are super small and the amount of rocks in the river makes you think of the movie "The Rock". Only mildly dangerous and proud of us for doing it. Mikey also did it, he might have had a bit of a harder time then the rest. These Thai girls were drinking on a rock on the water and watched us go down. I waited for the others to catch up and asked them if they spoke English. They shake their heads and laugh nervously. One girl says "I do not speak English" in a tone that suggest that MAYBE she does speak English. Very sneaky Thailand. Survived the trip home, took me 30 min to figure out what our password for the internet is and as soon as I did that, Abim, my roommate, says oh ya last year's password? Ah, perfect, should have just waited for your help sir. Just Skyped my brother, ate a hamburger and should be in a coma in about an hour.
And that's the kind of day its been.
Add me on Skype! I miss you!
