Thai Cooking

Below are some photos from our English Camp. Yes, pink polo shirts were the color of choice (Julie was thrilled) and we wore them through and through!

Last night we had a cooking class. We learned how to make coconut soup. We have become real Martha Stewarts over here - Thai style! We now have 3 new recipes in our repertoire: coconut soup, red curry and noodle salad. everything over here is spicy and our Thai chef instructor always says "not spicy", which means it is spicy for us Westerners, but not for Thais.

Today we are going to teach at the Wat. The monks are always a pleasure to visit with and we enjoy our time there very much. Tonight, Julie and I are taking two rookies (yes, after two weeks here we have reached semi-veteran status!), so that will be fun. [Insert Julie's comment: we look forward to the Monks tonight as we had a challenging day at school. . . Ryan disciplined one of the students by having him stand outside. We are teaching them the song, "You are my Sunshine" and Ryan told the misbehaving student to sing the song in front of the class by himself. . . talk about tough punishment!! I was giggling in my head the whole time but had to maintain my teacher demeanor, as did Ryan!!!]

We have been searching for planes, trains and automobiles in an effort to figure out how we are getting around Vietnam and Cambodia...complicating the situation is upcoming Chinese New Year, making booking travel and accommodations semi-difficult. But it always is an adventure and we are enjoying every minute of it.
