Time flies

It was recently pointed out to me... thanks Paul... that I have not updated my blog in awhile. And it's true. I've definitely been lacking in the posting bussiness. So... I'm trying to start doing it again. Keep everyone updated about life in the BKK.

So... I have moved, I have started a new job, I haven't been anywhere, but life is good. Teaching year 4 is great. The kids are lovely and I'm settling into the profile of classroom teacher. I'm also teaching music throughout the school at a more intense level than last year. So... everyday is a challenge. Good challenge, but a challenge all the same.

It's rainy season in the lovely country of Thailand. One day I actually walked home in knee deep water. That's when you don't even let your mind think about what could be floating in the flooding waters of Bangkok. I won't even talk about the rat I saw floating by.

My thai is getting better and better and I do try a lot harder than I ever have before. It does make life so difficult, but I try to ask questions just for the sake of asking them, and hope that I can understand the responses.

There was a state of emergency declared in Bangkok a few weeks ago. Stupidly I assumed that mom and dad would have heard about it on the evening news. So, when I called them saying I was okay and nothing to worry about... I naturally started something. It was calm cool and collected. I saw no evidence of this state of emergency, but I also stayed clear of any area that could be problematic. Politics politics politics.

So... there you go.... a mini update and I promise to do a much better job in the future.
