Early Morning Eating and Shopping

Saturday, 18 September 2004

Does it surprise you? Sleeping, eating, shopping, sleeping, eating, shopping. What's new? Matt slept over last night, and we both got up early and headed to Soi Sawng to get breakfast. We had a rice soup, like Chinese jook and a sweet red juice drink. Then, we shopped around and bought bags of rambutan, fried treats with bamboo shoots and pork inside, a couple blouses, fun stationary (I get a kick out of how funny the pictures and the incorrect use of English grammar is on much of the stationary here.), and red fabric so I can get a long skirt made for our teacher uniform on Mondays.

Matt took me to her house to visit her family. We had coffee and some of our snacks while looking at photographs of her friends and checking out their fishpond and yard full of banana trees, papaya trees, longan, chili, and vegetables. It was wonderful to see a local Thai house and see how people live, which is not too different from a house in Hawai'i.

We then came back to school to work some more to get ready for the arrival of the Ministry of Education on Tuesday.
