Last week I went to visit the site I will be at for ... well who knows exactly how long. The providence is Uthai Thani and I will be in the city of the providence. It is about 3 hours north of Bangkok. It seems to be a nice place. It is not really that big, about 4,000 people. It has one 7-11. But it actually has some restraunts and a nice night market. Some of my fellow volunteers are out in the sticks compared to my site. While I actually had an option for banks, some friends have to go an hour to get to a bank or post office. I am happy that I will have internet!!!
My house is great. It is very swanky by PC standards. I will have hot water!!!
And I met the co-teachers I will be working with at the two schools I am assigned to. That are both extremely nice and speak a fair amount of English.
I told them I'm interested in community work and they set up a meeting for me with the mayor.... Good start!
After the site visit all the other trainees and I met uo in Bangkok for a SANOOK (fun) weekend. Lots of celebrating. Lots of shopping. Lots of yummy food!!
