Happy Teacher's Day!

Today is Teacher's Day in Thailand and we have a day off from school to celebrate. After last week, where I had to break up a fight by physically removing/carrying a student out of the classroom and deal with the aftermath of a boy in 5/4 pulling a knife on a girl in 5/1, this is a much-needed day off. On the agenda for the day - cleaning my room because Copplestone will be in Nan in one week! He will bring the blonde population up to a solid 2. I'm dying to post pictures of the Asian Forbes Family Christmas, but my laptop power cord is broken so that will have to wait until a new one arrives from America.

In the meantime, enjoy this video of my roommate, Steph, teaching her fourth-graders, "I Feel Good" by James Brown. Yes, that really counts as an English lesson, and yes, I really get to teach kids that are that cute (you know, when they're not threatening each other with knives).

Also, I think I've finally stopped being and dumb and figured out how to do links in here, so family member who aren't on facebook, enjoy the following albums:

July vacation to Ko Samet

A trek we did with some friends

A trip to a temple with the 6th graders
