Thailand...from Bankok to Phuket

So again I fail to keep my promise and lack on the frequent updates. But really you can't blame me since I'm having a blast in Korea and keeping busy.

So Thailand was amazing...I didn't go to Cambodia because the more I read about it the more time I wanted to spend there and a couple of days was just not going to cut it. Clearly I will have to go to Cambodia on a trip to Cambodia and not on a quick trip when I'm going elsewhere...

Yeah so back to Thailand...it was amazing and I loved it. If I could make money there like I do here I would move there in a second. The people are warm and friendly, the food is delicious and the sites where beautiful.



Phuket was a tourist hot spot but we got from there, exactly what we needed...beach, relaxation, and a tan...well at least I did, try as Isabel did, she was still pretty white...haha...blame it on your dad's genes Isa.

Bangkok was really fun. People who go to Thailand don't typically enjoy Bangkok, but I thought it was great and would love to spend more time there. Lucky for us we were able to enjoy the Thai New Years (I have now had 3 New Years events in 2008: Western New Years, Solnal or Lunar New Years and Songkran or Thai New Years!!!). Essentially, it was a giant water fight on the street. They also put a white powder on your face for good luck. It was a blast!!


I was sad to leave Beautiful Thailand but when I came back to school I realized I had missed the little monsters. I called them monsters but really they are cute as hell and I really do love them!

Today was not a good day for Daleehah teacher, one class full of really smart but lazy boys pissed me off...so I was really hard on the rest of the classes. But really by the end of the day they still make me smile and I leave feeling happy and willing to return the next day. But I must confess that I am counting down to Friday night...can you blame though? Weekends are for fun and drinks and I'm in need of one!

That's all for now...about 7 weeks until I return to the western world. More updates to come soon!
