Trang

So I realized I haven't written in over a week and my last entry featured me in the hospital, but don't worry, I'm still alive. I spent a very rainy weekend in very toursity Koh Phi Phi--not a complete waste of time but definitely not one of my better weekends here. We did brave the $6 a night guesthouse, so at least it wasn't a waste of money (and the guesthouse was...tolerable, although I sure missed hot water showers after be soaked in the rain).

It's funny having to adjust to a new place in Thailan; I guess I thought was I was getting all of Thailand when I was in Bangkok, but of course things are different here, from my placement to the other kids in the house. The placemen's great. I work at a daycare and so far have been hanging out in the class of four year olds. Next week I'm switching to the olest class, I think, so I can help teach them English. The little ones aren't quite ready--the teacher has been trying to get them to say "thank you" to me when I give them food, toothpaste, handouts, etc. but sometimes they et confused and say "you're welcome" or, even better, "good morning" instead. I miss the tiny class at APSW and the sort sweet general chaos. Thirteen little kids are a lot quieter and easier to handle than 75 little kids, but I'm having a good time all the same.
