Hi! I haven't posted in awhile but I hope you have all been checking out pics on Facebook. Two weeks ago our Thai studies group went to stay in a village for a week with host families. There were two of us to each family and for the first half of the week our Thai buddies came to stay with us. Thai buddies are students from Payap who are involved with helping the Thai studies group. It was very helpful while they were staying with us because they were able to help make communication a lot easier. My friend Bintou and I stayed with our 'Meh' (Mom) and her two grandchildren. It was a great experience to see how some villagers live. It was very old-fashioned by our standards but simple and more stress-free. We attended Thai language class everyday outside in front of the village's wat (temple). During the trip we helped build a new crematorium... although it sounds creepy it was a lot of fun. We also visited some local waterfalls which I hope you have seen pictures of already. Despite my new found dismay for roosters which were all over the village and didn't just 'cock-a-doodle-do' at dawn but all throughout the day/night... the trip was great and we were fed great home-cooked meals everyday!
Much love!
