This is Thailand Yeah? (TITY)
This is what we say whenever we encounter something crazy, unbelievable, unfair, rediculous, unconceivable, or just plain silly. TITY.
As you know, Today is Friday, the day where Reffa is to give a half hour presentation in French to a class. She prepared it. I went on a two hour search of Surat Thani yesterday , asking in poor Thai if they had any books in French. I found one!!! It was expensive, but I think it's worth it. (expensive being 500 baht... about 15$). It actually turns out that she's teaching a high school class, rather than giving an introductory presentation (there goes the hard worked speech..) and therefore has to prepare a LESSON without knowing what their levels are (or knowing very much french... lol). Guess when she recieved this TEXT MESSAGE? at 9am this morning. She's being picked up from one school (where she teaches 9-2) and being transported to the other school to teach this lesson at 2:30. No warning. the test message said "oh is-a-meaning- you will be teach cloth" which is Orapin's way of saying "you have to teach the students how to describe clothing" .
hahahahahaha Thailand never fails to amuse.
Yesterday we went on a family adventure to Tesco Lotus with x, his brother, his mom, and his brothers girlfriend. 6 of us on three motorbikes on the highway on the way to the big store to purchase a sink. We came home with a reciept and delivery date for a fridge. go figure?!
anyways, i'm off. There's no washroom in the computer lab. ughhh gotta walk home.
