I don't have any pictures right now because I forgot my camera (but i will put them on this blog tomorrow!) We had a tremendously fun weekend since we moved to our new apartment. We were staying on the 15th floor of one of the school buildings in apartments, but now we have moved to an apartment right by two shopping centers: the paragon and MBK. Both of those are pretty big so there are tons of shopping, foods, and extra curricular activities :) We really do have a huge "downtown" area which is like new york with an atlanta crowd just as soon as you walk out of our apartment complex...its amazing!! Christin and I have been out to the "Coco Walk" every evening which is just a row of outside dinning, bars, and bands. Its so much fun to just sit out there and relax after a long day. Teaching is going great, everyday we get to know our teachers more and more. They are all in their mid to late twenties so we have alot to relate with them. This weekend we went out roaming and met a group of Australians and hung out/karaoked with them awhile, to fun. Tomorrow I am teaching my first full lesson to a 3rd grade math class. The cool thing is there are two 3rd grade math classes each day, so to ease into it I watch John teach the first class, and I teach the 2nd period. I'm so glad I got stuck with cool people to teach with. We are allowed to start traveling around as soon as we finish our 100 hours of actually teaching...and we are busting butts to get it done as soon as possible. With our 25 hours a week of classroom teaching and a few small remedial groups we should finish in about four weeks...leaving us a little over a week to head to the beach and then North Thailand, Chang Mai. Our new apartment kind of sucks, because the beds are hard as rocks...our shower is in the middle of the bathroom with no walls or anything, and it just smells funny and has tons of bugs!! But the experience and location just makes it totally 110% worth while. I have so much to blog about, but seeing as I'm a "professional" now, I guess I'll leave the fun stuff to my journal. Tomorrow should be a fairly easy day because I'm only teaching one lesson, then Christin and I are going shopping for a new outfit (at the most it will cost us $6) and HOPEFULLY buying a cheap thai straightener (which will be passed down to little Baker) since ours blew up the first day we used it. I would not trade this experience for the world, I really want to go to Spain and teach awhile. The food is getting better and better each day, we're acquiring a taste and sense of what we like. The people are great, I never get cat whistles from men like I did in Egypt, everything is a 3rd of the cost as usual so I'm saving money, and the culture immersion as a whole is great, Christin is a superb wing man, the teachers we work with are great and showing us around, and I love love love the kids here. We went and traveled to the "ancient city" of bangkok and fed birds and all kinds of fun touristy stuff. I have plenty of pictures to put up from this weekend so hold that thought.
