Kate, Brandon and I decided to move to a city in southern Isan named Surin to stake our new teaching claim. The school's name is Anubarnsurin and is one of the best primary schools in Thailand.
 |
| Our friends Jen and John -- so sad to see them leave. Happy travels, guys! |
Taking a tour around town before school starts.
 |
| Durian husks |
 |
| A visit to the day market |
 |
| Khao Niaow - sticky rice |
 |
| Cuteness for sale |
 |
| There are lots of murky and stagnant bodies of water that are gated-off around town. Apparently the remnants of some kind of moat, but really just great mosquito breeding grounds. |
Meeting our first elephant of the town: Lily.
And another amazing discovery... bowling alley at our local mall! I have never been so excited to bowl.
 |
| No wonder my left butt cheek was sore the next day. |
Hanging out with the cats from our local restaurant:
Retrieving our scooters!
Trip to the night market:
 |
| Tried the infamous durian for the first time... wow. It was like garlic, rotting fruit and stinky feet all rolled into one. |
First couple days of school:
 |
| Rotee stand. So glad I found one in my new town! |
 |
| Kiddlywinks! These are my 2's in front of me at the flag ceremony in the morning. This is their scouts uniform. |
 |
| Prayer time |
A conspicuous pack of falang heading to the big wednesday/saturday night market:
 |
| 20 baht store. Way better than a dollar store. |
 |
| They do not kid around with these markets. |
 |
| Fresh crickets. Fried to order. |
 |
| Not fresh bathroom. |
 |
| Cop stand. Pretty cute, right? |
