Thailand Journal 2011 #2


With the 14-hour time difference, jet lag does take its toll on most travelers from the USA to Thailand. So I always plan a light day immediately after arrival. Most students slept in. But all came for lunch and for the orientation immediately after. What a great bunch – teachable, funny, and willing to give their all into the work. I then took them for a bit of shopping. First, we stopped at one of the many awesome fruit stands that line the highways. Then to Tesco Lotus (it is like a super Walmart), which is about 20-minutes’ drive from here. But dinner was the best: Great pizza from The Pizza Co.; and fantastic dessert at Swensen’s. If you have not had the Earthquake, you must! It was a delicious bonding experience! We ended the night at Vespers. But again jet lag was taking its toll. And just before I turned in Megan and Kindra Moore arrived to join us on our weekend adventures.
