Well lets talk about the food.  Although I like rice I was very glad to see bananas for breakfast.  Corn flakes too, but I am most happy about the fruit.  We mainly have rice and sides.  There is a lot of meat in the dishes but they always make sure there is something I can eat.  Some of the other teachers are vegetarians also. 

I am learning to eat with a spoon and fork.  Sounds simple right, well don’t scoop food and eat it with a fork.  If you do that you are WEIRD.  Thais eat with the spoon and use the fork to balance each bite perfectly on the spoon.  Today we had shrimp and green beans for dinner.  Although there were no legs on the shrimp, they did have heads!  I didn’t eat them even though they are probably considered “the best part”.
