More Fun Things about Thailand

1) Sometimes, your co-teacher thinks that your image is worthy of a keychain. Then she decides to sell the keychains to your students, who actually buy them, and makes almost 1000 baht doing so. I'm thinking I really need to start a "Take Your Picture with Aj. Kirsten" side business.



2) Tomorrow is Makha Bucha day. What is Makha Bucha Day, you ask? Beats the hell out of me. All I know is I get the day off.

3) Next week is my last week of teaching. That means I have spent 8 3/4 months as a teacher. Anyone know when that all happened?

4) I guess this doesn't really count as new, but I'm still a big fan of the kids' nicknames, especially when I'm grading 180 of the same worksheet and stumble across this gem.
