I got home late however and was just hanging out with Goi in the room when we got a phone call at 5:30. Two weeks ago we went to the church plant at Klongtan because some teachers werent able to be there, basically on Friday evenings they give Bible studies to some of the local kids that all come because the teachers play games and give out candy ;) They also teach a little bit of english which always pleases the parents to know their kids are learning. I would never have found this place if Goi hadn't showed me, its like Narnia. You seriously have to go through several tight alleys and doorways to find it. Goi and me last time went and prepared a lesson and had fun teaching for about an hour. (This was all 2 weeks ago) The next week we get a phone call, "Hey are you coming today?" and so we jumped on a song-tao and headed over. Today we got the phone call, same thing..."Where are you guys?!" haha. We showed up late not just because we forgot but because we picked the one bus headed to Klongtan that happened to be breaking down, its only like 4 blocks away but we grabbed a bus thinking it would be quicker. Of course not right...? To easy. The bus BARELY made it over the bridge and sounded awful the whole way. When we finally got over the bridge we got stuck in traffic again and Goi and me got out and ran the rest of the way. Andrew almost beat us there walking but we were in the door first! Ha! After the students leave every Friday its great because the pastor there always buys pizza for the teachers and gives us the rest of the chocolate milk juice boxes. The pizza surprised me the first time, here they always serve ketchup packets with pizza (Thai's like to add it on top along with hot-sauce) and if you get vegetarian it has corn! Everything is also Thai size, so when they order a "family size pizza" its like the size of an American Small. Amazingly there's always enough to go round.
