Fon To

For the King.

This picture didn't quite make the Klong look so trashy...

Did I go to Italy? Somehow this doesn't feel like it belongs in Bangkok.

{Some pictures from a boat ride I took on the river last week down near the kings palace.} 

I'm watching Avatar in Thai with Goi, it was on t.v. and we jumped in half-way. I'm having a hard time trying to describe why Jake Sulley is a blue creature in a loincloth but also doubles as a bearded human in a wheelchair...? haha. I'm having a hard time distinguishing between Avatar language and Thai sometimes in the dubbing...

I got a package today from a church youth group in Santa Rosa, WOW! They baked Christmas cookies and just sent a tin over. I've never devoured cookies faster. We shared some around the office, but after that I took the tin and set it between Andrew, Goi and me. Goi wasn't so sure they were 'wan' or 'sweet' enough, and usually prefers salty food. So basically that left the rest of the batch up to me and Andrew. I'd say we polished off a good seven cookies a piece...plus crumbs. I'm going to have to go on a diet cleanse.

We had our last Thai class for December, kind of nostalgic its fun being able to just try and chat in Thai for a couple hours a day. I'll have to harass some Thai's on the beach into talking with me. P. Ma'm (our teacher) did leave us with homework though of "Kien ha prayok tuk-wan, lago puak-rao ja an gap Phuket, choc dee!" translation:"Write five sentences every day, so later we can read about Phuket, Good luck!"
