The Past Week or So

Hello Family, Friends, and Strangers!
This past week was spent in Bangkok and Kanchanaburi, Thailand, with the Overseas Education Group crew in tow. Friendship was abound; closeness was achieved; then, we were all ripped apart. Before the so-called tear, our activities seemed endless. We spent much time in the classroom learning of Thai culture and language (Khun cheu arai--what is your name?), in addition to learning how to teach English to a bunch of silly and confused children. We went on tuk tuk (three-wheeled motorcycles with a bench seat and a crazed drive who wanted noth

ing more than to take us to tailors against our will) rides and river cruises.

We visited the famous Khao san road--a Thai version of Bourbon Street--and bought

unbelievable cheap garments and went clubbing (hey, Shannon). We rod

e elephants and bamboo rafts (that occasionally sunk) in the jungle. The point is: the vacation lifestyle was good. But tourist season, as it sometimes is, is over.

We said our goodbyes, parted ways, and now I am up North, not planning my English lessons. And speaking of, here I go.
