My last post was from my second week being in Thailand. I have now been in this country for three months. I have already moved in with my second family, who are hilarious! I even got my host dad to teach me how to hoolahoop. I have a billion host siblings, I will never know their names. I don't even know the difference between them. I live above a silk shop, our house is complete with a giant stereo system that is constantly playing some sort of Thai soul music. My host mom loves to cook and she looks like she is twenty five. My host went to university for law...but is a car salesman. I live across the street from Tesco Lotus (wal-mart for Thai people) which is super convenient considering there is a KFC in the store.
I have started school in Thailand, and I have been out for about four weeks due to holiday. School is a joke..... yeah that's all I have to say about that.
At the beginning of October all of the inbounds met in Korat, Thailand for RYLA camp. It was nothing like any of us expected. We were surrounded by ten and eleven year old Thai kids, with the occasional 15 year old. Our days were packed with coloring, quiet time, and singing songs about bugs. Do you really think any of the inbounds participated in that? No we didn't. We roamed around the Korat zoo, singing our own songs...Justin Bieber mostly sadly to say. We had our own fun!
That weekend we had another orientation type thing. This again was not meant for the inbounds but for the 2012-2013 outbounds. So again we pretty much did our own thing. It was a lot of fun bonding with the other exchange students. I can tell you now I have met some life long friends.
