Still Nong Khai
Once again no idea what i wrote last time!
Having fun here - been to sing karaoke (you all sit in a room and choose the songs - it's not a big bar and we were in a small room in a hotel dedicated to karaoke!). it is hilarious. 80s videos all the way!
You'lll all be glad to know i found some new flip flops (bet you were on the edge of your seat for that one). A bargain for 99B and very pretty though i have infected sores on my feet. lush eh?
Been for bike rides along the Mekong River and out to a night market where we had the best banana pancakes (loaded with sugar and condensed milk and egg and lard i guess!) and Marty, a hilarious dutch guy, ate bugs. He ate a scorpion, worms, crickets, grasshoppers and god knows what else!
To get a real taste of thailand, he and bernhard bought thai porn. terrible.
Last night we went out for ice cream and marty braved the Thai flavour ice cream. it honestly tasted of soap, rice, chicken and mango mixed up!
Today i went to the Sculpture park with two girls Emmy (dutch) and Christina (US) on our bikes. It is a bizarre muix of Buddhist and Hindu sculptures some of which were about 25 metres tall. They were all done over 20 years by a Lao man. Realkly interesting. I'll send the pics through soon.
Getting a bit scared about the teaching. I don't start tomorrow (weds) now as there are no coordinators in Namsom at the moment so i go tomorrow and hopefully start on thurs. think i'm teaching primary but not sure at the moment!
anwyay, i'm off to eat thai food int he balcony at the dorm. tomorrow - two bumpy bus rides to Namsom!
