FAQ

After a little garbing w my favorite newly engaged couple in San Fran (Laura and Dana) I realized that there are a few things basic things I should answer.

Q: I miss your voice, Rachel, can I call you?
A: Yes. I have a cell phone and can be reached anytime you like. I am 11 hours ahead of the East Coast. One cheap way to call is get an account on www.pincity.com. It costs around 10 cents a minute. International calling cards in another easy way. Call me at 011-66-9-672-7262

Q: Will you be home for the holidays?
A: Probably not. I am planning a fun New Years in the islands and would love you to come join. Rachel Nisselson is investigating tickets this very instant.

Q: What is your typical day like?
A: I am usually at one of my two schools by 8:30am. I co-teach English classes to 4th, 5th, and 6th graders till about 2:30 [with the goal of teaching student centered learning to my co-teachers]. From 3:00-4:30 I have Thai lessons either at my house, or my tutors house. Then I often head to the pool, take a run, or head to my friend Jeeda and Wendy's house to chill. Often I help Wendy's mom cook dinner and eat over there. When the night market is in town we often head over there for a little, and I'm home by 9ish. Most evenings I chat for a little on the phone with fellow Volunteers.
