Today, Ku Ai's professor from Victoria University in Australia visited our school. He met with Ku Ai about his doctoral thesis, talked to us about the Engish Program, and then we all went out to dinner. They must like taking all farangs to the fancy places, because I've eaten here three times already! I was laughing as we pulled into the fancy, overpriced restaurant in Phutthamonthon that serves Thai food, but also has spaghetti and Haagen-Dazs ice cream. It's got nice ambience for sure, as you sit outdoors overlooking this beautiful pond, albeit with German beer signposts. But, it gets better....or worse you might say. Imagine this...Thai servers wearing German outfits and hats, a Blue Hawai'i record playing on the loudspeaker with Elvis singing the Hawaiian wedding song, and us eating authentic Thai food, with Haagen-Dazs ice cream and fried bananas dessert to finish it off. Strange I tell you.
Tomorrow, we will have more visitors as the kindergarten classes have visitors for some award they have received. It is a big deal, as of course everything is here, and they have been hard at work, making everything look nice, getting white boards for the classrooms, planting flowers, etc.
