Yeah I know I don't get to the internet cafe very often

This is the house that I have been living in for the past 2 months with my host family (pictures to come later in post)













This is my host family mom or Meh in thai her name is Aloom and I don't think she could love me anymore if I were her real daughter. She tears up when I mention moving to my permenant site. She is so freakin cute. By the way she doesn't speak any english but she does slap my butt when I come home late cause she worries. I just thought that was funny.
















This is my Host family sister Aui (pronounced oo-ee)
She's 26 and her favorite past time is making fun of me, the farang (Foreigner) who lives in her house. And of course me being me, I have to get her back as much as possible


.














These are my cousins, Nong and Em, they spend their days teaching me Thai words that I will never us in my life, words like See-saw and Pirate. They also like to make fun of me, That is pretty much the biggest running theme in Thailand, we are here to amuse the locals by falling off our bikes, eating chili peppers by accident, and pretty much making asses of ourselves as much as possible, all of which I have done a lot and often.






They also like to make fun of me for wearing a helmet, something I could be sent back to america for not doing, and something they should be doing anyway, ok ill get off my soapbox now















This is the view of the sunrise out the front door of my house, over the rao chaya river( I think that's the name, I should probably pay attention more)













And now the view of the sunset out of my backdoor, now this i know for sure is rice fields, with a little cucumber (which my meh grows and sells at the market) and corn thrown in there









And now some beautiful pictures I have taken while I have been here



An ancient wat in Auythia (outside of Bangkok)














Same




















Same












A "Graveyard"for broken spirit houses, religiously it is wrong for buddists to destroy them so they put them all together.










This is me learning to weave a fan from a group that makes them from bamboo, I worked with the group during training to make them business cards and a brochure to give out at the market to increase their business, sorry i know business talk is boring ill stop now









This is the grandmother who befriended the volunteer that I went to visit, I just love this picture



















That is my friend Julia holding a big knife, this is the image the grandmother from the picture above was smiling and laughing at















and last and definately not least this is my ajung (teacher)
she has been teaching me thai for the last month and she is great, we have taught her phrases like brown nosing, dumb ass and other such useful terms








alright thats all for now
ill be sure to post pictures of the americans that i have met next time

Miss Y'all
