September 4th Reffa and I are venturing into yet another South Eastern Country and we are uber excited about it! Laos is our destination for a total of 5 or 6 days. Reason: we have to do our visa again and we've already been to Malaysia 3 times! It's going to be a little more expensive, but with the help of the Thailand-wide free train promotion right now we might be able to get by alright! We hear the tubing's a blast and the beer's delicious.
Another exciting part of this country is that the language is similar to Thai, so we might even be able to communicate a bit! We heard from a few backpacking friends in passing that if you can speak thai they can fully understand you and love conversing. They think it's great when a white person starts sputtering out an Asian language!
We don't even have to miss any school, because the students will be going through a series of tests during those few days. lovely! =) Tuong Whit, our school, has been very busy lately. Lots of testing, lots of paperwork, lots of drama (as per usual!!) but so far so good! I'm very happy to be back teaching and not stuck at home with appendicitis or burns. !!!!!!! Yay for working! Anuban (ages 3-5, preschool basically) was hard for me for a little while because I wasn't sure how to go about teaching them and I had so many students that they were all a bunch of little aliens to me but now me and the students have a real connection- they love me, and I love them. And they love me for lovin them, and I love them for lovin me and we loooovvveeee each other- (anyone catch that?) No really. They are so adorable. One of these coming weeks I'm going to have a photo shoot with all my little Thai babies so you can see them all!!!! =) =) =)
Love life! =)
