Where did all the Pad thai go?

YUM YUM YUM Pad Thai!

AUTOPAC-- bad pic I missed the broken cars...

Walt Disney type castle = School (Not my school)

Morning Taxi Adventure

Wow, what to say- This week has been CRAZY! Thrown right into teaching and life in thailand-- learning so much about the culture: what not to say (here and yet are very bad!)... and trying to not get my white shirt dirty, there is SO much planning to do... and we've been teaching 3 classes each day on top of all that mixed in with a bit of orientation- leaving for school at 6:30 AM... and getting stuck in traffic jam for 2 hours. Today was a 'stuck in traffic/ taxi driver didn't know where he was going' type of morning. We got in the taxi at 6:35 and arrived at school at 8:40: What a long drive! Between looking about random phrases in our phrase book, seeing the AUTOPAC of Thailand (I can't believe there were not more cars here.. the driving here is absolutely CRAZY!)... we drove past a castle looking school and got to explore a part of Bangkok we'hadn't seen before (all not bad things of taking''short cuts'')

Anyway I am very tired and for the 3rd night in a row have brought home textbooks and work that I will take back to school tomorrow unfinished as I run out of steam at night SO easily.

My feet are sore from standing so much during the day and wearing bare feet in the classroom... but I'm surviving. I haven't quite learned all my kids names yet (ie. Shogun, New, Japan....) but I'm sure they will come soon!

Hope you are having a great day whatever you're up to..
Please see below some pics of the adventures of the day as well as the Pad Thai that is no longer (costing 25 Baht= about 75 cents).
