Settling in

I've been staying at Dan's house for the last week just soaking it all in. Round 2 of life abroad is a little easier to adjust to. I know what I have to learn to get by and I've almost mastered Thai numbers. School starts tomorrow so that should be a trip. I'm waiting to hear back from an apartment I made an offer to. The place is real nice, but I totally low-balled them Asia style. I know of other teachers living there for the same price I offered so I'm feeling optimistic. Dan's son Jonathan is 6 months old and pretty good. I've taken a few photos of stuff but I'm waiting to get a few more before I upload all of them. I'll be teaching Physics, Bio, English, and a few other classes this summer. More info to come!!

What age are you teaching? I heard that spiderman comes to the rescue in Bangkok. When I read that story I thought of you. The boy didn't want to go to school, so he sat on a 3rd floor ledge. His teachers could not coax him in. A fireman dressed as spiderman got him to come in. Have a great Day.
