My week off.

Since we have the week off from teaching, we have decided to do a lot of exciting things before we head off to Chaing Mai.

Yesterday we got up late and did nothing all day apart from a bit of cleaning, it was rather nice to have nothing that needed doing.

Today however, we got up early and went to the hospital at 7.30. We then had a physical to check that we were healthy enough to work and a blood test to check that we weren't carrying any diseases. After struggling to determine my height as they didn't have a scale that went as far, the nurser had an effort to stick a fat needle into my arm, which was made worse as I watched it slowly pierce my skin, lovely.

Physical done and we have been dragged round Ubon trying to sort out all the paperwork, the school did not have all the necessary documents, so we have to try again tomorrow.

Tomorrow should be an improvement though as we are meeting Stephen and Lewis in Ubon and since they have not been before, we get to show them all the sights, and then there is a staff party tomorrow night, which hopefully will be more fun that I am expecting it to be!

We are also going to a party on Friday, then staying at Mr Nick's in Ubon. Then leave for Chaing Mai at 12:15 on Saturday, so my next update will not be until Sunday when I arrive in Chaing Mai.

Until then, farewell.

PS. I have just downloaded an entire album of Elvis, not sure why, but it is great. Also I have been listening to 'Natty' and 'The Cat Empire', both of which I recommend!
