Toilets


I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned this here before, but the toilets in Asia are not the same as back home. The squatter shown above is very popular in Korea. They have some here in Thailand too, but not as many. The best thing though, is the little squirt hose that is next to most Thai toilets.

Poo-Ket

I went down to Phuket last week for a short holiday. It was a good time. I really like getting out of the city and can't wait until I finally get to move out of the city. Life is so relaxed and simple down there. I brought my camera and succeeded at taking 0 pictures. I got pink eye from a massage pillow, which kind of sucked, but when you're on vacation it's hard to get in a bad mood.

I'm back teaching for October school which is a bit like summer school, really relaxed. There are less than half as many students so it's a nice low pressure atmosphere. I'm teaching math and science to grades 7-9 along with Bio and test skills to grades 11 and 12 respectively. The bonus is that I'm only teaching October school until next Tuesday. After that I get another little vacation. WOOHOO!
