Now we're in China, still teaching English, but this time we're experiencing a new culture while living in a city. You'll find pics and info here on our blog.

We've got pictures

So you finally get to see some pictures. I'm no photographer, so I'll hand the camera off to Lisa more often. Below is a picture of our lovely training school in Ban Phe.



We are a stroll from the beach. The cool mornings are a particularly nice time of day to enjoy a jog or saunter. The skies are usually cloudy, but this only makes the occasional patch of blue sky even more welcome.


The local village has plenty of cafes and shop houses. This cafe "Mama's" is just across from our training school. The family runs the cafe and lives above the storefront. They have terrific banana pancakes, fruit and yogurt, eggs, and rice dishes that we've sampled so far.

First Post from Thailand

Wow... that would about sum things up, but we'll try to be more elaborate.

We've been in teaching classes for only two days, but it seems much longer. We get up around 5:30am (yep, even Lisa) and have time to walk, eat, breakfast, and read before our classes begin at 9:00. We get a 1.5 hour lunch, which is necessary given that the little cafe's in the area (the only way to eat in Ban Phe) take their sweet time netting up some squid and making your soup.

The classes are over at 4:45, leaving up plenty of time to go out to eat and enjoy ourselves in town. We're also enjoying learning some Thai language as we live here.

Well, I've got to get back to class. More words and pictures later.
