Coming back to Bangkok? Yes, actually.

This is our rigged up movie night hahaha. So I told you Christin and I pushed our little single beds together the first night, right? Yeah so all five of us piled up on our two little beds one night, put my computer desk chair up there and propped Christin's laptop up and watched Slumdog Millionaires (I insisted that Christin watch it because we see the SAME STUFF HERE!!) I cried, and cried. It kills me, sorry if you haven't watched it- but we see SO MANY blind people walking around and all i can think about is this movie. It was too much emotional drainage for one night. But doesn't our rigged movie theater look so fun? Cause it was!
Okay so this is by far our favorite spot that we have found here in Bangkok!! Every Thursday-Sunday they have stands EVERYWHERE with noodles, rice, drinks, every Thai food imagineable seriously. This weekend is World Music Fest so there is food and bands from lots of different countries, and charity booths to help blind, disabled children, and just different organizations. Tonight Christin and I had a true Thai dinner where we got 30 cent noodles, took our shoes off and sat on mats while we listened to a Brazilian band play the drums! We just sat there soaking it all in since we're leaving in TWO WEEKS!! :(
So Chinese New Years is Feb 14th, see ya Valentines Day! You don't need a date for this...not when you have me, Christin, and a huge country like Thailand :) These are decorations at the mall by our apartment, asians are so festive and decorative, to say the least! And yes, I'm wearing a scarf in 90 degree weather, its totally normal here lol.
So I help out with third grade P.E and these are some of my little monsters :) They are so much cuter than pictures can even show! This was us out at the "football pitch" aka SOCCER FIELD...haha can't hate a hot british accent/lingo.
These are my second grade babies, the class that the school actually OFFERED ME TODAY! That's right, I got my first job offer!!! heeeeey-o! We just listened to a CD and they are finishing their phonics workbooks. Thankfully they were angels on my second to last day with them. I teach brothres (one is in my 2nd and one is in my 3rd), and my second grader caught wind that I'm leaving Friday and was so upset in class...it was adorable. He was like "TEACHA TEACHA my brotha tell me you leave Friday, is he lie? You're not leave, right????" hahah I literally almost cried, no but seriously. I have to come back.
These are the boys with their lunch. The closest one to the camera is Poom (he's such a handsome little guy!!) Everytime I say his name in class I start singing "Gotta put that POOM in it, POOM in it" (Boom in it by Mario?) Yeah well its funny to me anyways. The one in the back is such a little goofball, I don't know WHY the boys do this pose for EVERY PICTURE! They put their little pointer finger and thumb under their chin and cheese, like all 30 of my kids do it sometimes...who knows? Between that and the peace sign it seems normal now lol.
This is my 3/10 (one of the two of my third grade classes). They are the bad class, I'll just say that real quick. They are cute as a freakin button though. They were eating lunch and I pulled out the camera and before you knew it they were on top of DESK, falling off, just going bonkers trying to get in the picture!! So I got most of them out in the hall and we just took a group picture :) Don't you just want to adapt some of these kids???
