I was just IMing with Matty (Candlepin) Bowling out there in Palo Alto, Cali. It's the promisings of anotherlazy day in Uthai Thani. Thank goodness for Summer Vacation....
Anyway, I was explaining to Matt how my friends in my town are Thai, and I realized that maybe I haven't been clear about the PC situation. PC, across the globe, places volunteers in separate towns or provinces. There is only one other volunteer in my entire provence, and she is about 35 kms from me, which is actually pretty close by PC standards. The next closest is a couple hours away. I live in my town with the Thais.
There may have been a confusion because, in a weird coincidence, PC just had their training of the new group of Volunteers in Uthai Thani. So there were 60 other americans here for 10 weeks. I LOVED having them here and being the 'big sister' to them all and helping with training and adjusting to thai life. Sadly they have gone. On friday they were swore in as volunteers (marking my one year anniversary) and have now dispersed across the country.
It is nice to have my town back to myself. But i also surely miss them. I feel really lucky that I got to know them all so well and made some great friends in the new group.
