So I have to say for the first few weeks here I was trying to do school work and be the perfect teacher. Then I found out what life is like in a big city. For instance last weekend we took this bus up to the Benjarong Factories where they have hand painted items. I have enclosed a couple of photos. It was simply amazing. I never would have imagined it. It was also just a time to hang out. Then we went to the floating market. Only it wasn't the regular touristy one it was just a normal one. But it was what I have been waiting my whole time here to see. It was simply amazing. I am not sure that I could even explain it in words. I will try though. Walking down the river it is just amazing because you see boats with tons of stuff in them. They are selling things out of the boats. It is picture perfect Thailand. I do not know if I have mentioned but the people here really do smile a lot. I feel though that there are a lot of things hidden behind those smiles. If I could just talk with them I feel like I could learn a lot more. The highlight was ofcourse the pottery but I also got 1 kilo of starfruit for the equivalent of $1.00. yep that is right. I was excited. Okay enough for now about this anyways!
