My School, Khon Kaen Wittayayon School


What to say about Thai schools..hmm.. My school has 4500 students grades 7-12. It gets a little crazy and as to be expected I am the only white person or farang so I get a lot of staring, pointing, and lauging. The building here is the English department were all the Enlish classes are given. There are five more buidings this size, and with eight classes a day it is a lot of walking.

Ahh Thai Food


So This would be a typical Thai meal. This is actually breakfast and the truth is we keep eating like this all day. I'm stuffed.

My host mom and little sister


Well so far, I am already on my second host family. My living situation has been rough but I love my new Thai family. They are amazing. My family consits of 6 people (mom,dad,two younger sisters,one younger brother, and a great aunt). Like most families here we live above the family bussiness. My host family owns a real estate company and have many developments all over the city. Our house is located right on the freeway and about a 10 minute drive from the city center.
