Things Im excited about

Some of you may have heard that we have had some darker moments over here in Thailand. Despite the lush green of our surroundings culture shock has had it's way with us. We were warned but somehow warnings don't fully prepare you. Things I'm excited about....
  1. I got a coffee maker!
  2. The sun is out this morning.
  3. We have a new mattress arriving tomorrow- local natural latex- resists mold!
  4. I went to a yoga class I loved on Friday with a bunch of women from school.
  5. We are starting to make friends.
  6. I found the most beautiful iridescent beetle.
  7. We had a delicious burrito after class-OMG.
  8. I got a cheer up package from my mom. Yay mail!
  9. The look of real discovery on the faces of some of my students.
  10. We have a break in three weeks- should we...
  • Go to Halong Bay and Hanoi, Vietnam
  • Go south on a train to the land of shadow puppets and local beaches
  • Go to Krabi for beautiful limestone karst jutting out of the sea and tourist beaches
  • Do a road trip in the Northeast of Thailand and go to a festival of flaming boats

Hello from Holland Robin and Danny,

Alan forwarded me your blog. What fabulous photos! What's the name of your school, and what are you both teaching? I can completely understand the culture shock....it hit us on many levels. Send an email so I can hear more:
