Rot-fi-fah

 Today was back on the job...
After crashing last night from the weekends adventures I woke up to another very full day :)
I worked the morning hours on the Presidents "Quinquennial Report" believe it or not that IS correct. I'm having to make this backdrop for some stand they have at the Asian Conference Meeting coming up. Andrew and Goi have been slaving away on the video for the same project so we all kept each other company today a while.
We snuck down the road to J Nu's for lunch (AMAZING!) I wish this restaurant was in the states. Its a hole in the wall but run by one family, they live upstairs and work downstairs and the food is great and very reasonable. Everything basically costs 30b a dish.
After lunch we had Thai class. I learned today that theres a reason to every part of a word in Thai. Trains here are called "rot - fi", cars are called "rot" so today I asked the teacher what "fi" was?
She told me that back in the day they used to run trains by wood & fire (not by coal) so they called trains "fire cars" essentially...hahahahaha! I dunno why it felt just like I'd reached some nirvana state of learning or something, everything just clicked! And the BTS Sky Train is known as "rot-fi-fah" or "car-fire-sky"....KABLAM! Just blew your mind right?
PS. Pictures are posted from Mission College this last weekend, enjoy!
