One thing that annoys me about writing these blogs is that I always forget what I have been up to. Just before I started this, my head was going through everything that I wanted to say and now, it has just gone. It is really rather frustrating!
Last night was rather interesting as me and David were cycling through Muang Samsip when we passed by one of the teachers from our school. She stopped us and invited us round to her house. We arrived at her house, which was very nice, and were not sure what to do. We were given a coconut each, and they were delicious. These coconuts are not the same as the ones I am used to in England. They were fresh off the tree, the milk was lovely and the flesh inside was soft and sweet!
We were then taken to the towns radio station and sat in the studio as the teacher was one of the towns DJ's. It was rather confusing as it was all in Thai, David and I just sat there until it was over. We returned to her house and played with her puppies, as in small dogs. One of them was only 2 weeks old and reminded me of when my dog had puppies and how equally clumsy they had been!
We left the house at about half 9, so had been there for a good 5 hours, and returned to our home.
I slept very well last night, it is one of the best nights sleep I have had in a long time. And then I had a lovely breakfast which consisted of French toast and an omelette.
Nothing else has happened since my last post, but even so, I am having a brilliant time, I decided to wear my bow tie for school today and have received compliments from a fair few teachers, male and female.
Whilst I have been sat here, some student have brought me a plate full of food, which I cant complain about. There was a sandwich, salad and a fried egg, a lovely snack between lessons!
I apologise if I talk about food a lot but I cant escape it. Food is a massive part of Thailand and they talk and think about it all the time. I get asked if I am hungry or if I have had lunch at least 15 times a day!

Food is always a good subject matter in my opinion Ben.
ReplyDeleteAs for the annoyance of not remembering what you have done then that is just like seeing a christmas present you think will be great for someone but when you come to buy it you have forgotten what it was.
The blog is a great diary source so that at least the blogs you do remember will forever be an aide memoire to a great experience as well as them being good for us to keep up with your experience.
Always great to get that insight

Paragraph 3 line 2 - town's not towns.
ReplyDeleteParagraph 3 line 2 - DJs not DJ's.
Paragraph 6 line 1 - some students have brought me a plate of food, or, a student has brought me a plat full of food not some student have brought me a plate full of food.
Paragraph 7 line 1 - can't not cant.
In the last paragraph you said everyone talks and thinks about food all the time, you didn't tell me about your newly acquired abilities of being able to read minds, amazing!
