Apartment tour!

Hope you enjoy this! Right now I am just in language school. We leave the apartment at around 6 in the morning. We have a 5 minute walk to the Song Taow. From there we Ride the Song Taow for about 30 minutes to the sky train. The sky train is a train that runs above the city. We have about a 45 minute ride on it. I like the sky train alot. It has air conditioning which is super nice.

School has been hard but has become alot easier. At the beginning we learned tones, vowels and consonants. Now we are focusing on simple words and phrases. I know most of the words and phrases, but it is good review for the tones. There are now 4 people in my class. There are two guys from the states and a guy from Japan. The class is spent mostly of us practicing the words and sentence structures. There is also lots of laughter.
One guy has alot of trouble remembering what to say after someone says thank you. In thai when some one says thank you (cup koon ka), you respond by saying no problem (mai been lie). One time, when the teacher said thank you, he responded mai baan tat which means ruler. Another time he responded mai chi, which means no. We like to tease him about that.

After school we come home, work on home work, and hang out with our host family. Things have been good with them. There are 4 in the family. A mom, dad, and two daughters. The youngest daughter was as shy as all get out. If we even looked at her she would hide behind her mom, and she hardly ever spoke. But since coming here she has warmed up to me alot. Now she actively tries to get me to play with her and she is hardly ever quiet. She is my little bundle of joy, and a huge distraction, especially when I am doing home work.

Speaking of home work I should go do it. Have a good week! God bless!
