Working for the weekend.

In the spirit of this blog maybe helping future farang teachers, I will try to post little updates as often as I can be bothered. Here's one now...
I went to Phuket this weekend, very nice. I missed my first flight Friday night due to my crazy, senile old cab driver who yelled at me, drove in circles and (I'm 90% sure) defecated himself on the THREE HOUR cab ride from one end of Bangkok to the other! Everytime I get out of a cab in this city I think it is the scariest cab ride I've ever had (Mardi Gras in St. Louis excluded)
Thai people are very Thai-centric. They are sort of oblivious to anything that is not directly related to themselves. Its kind of annoying and makes for very scary walking/riding anywhere in Thailand. Sabai- sabai is getting pretty old...
The weather says its 91 degrees right now, but I'm actually cool and wore a sweater most of the day. Yikes.
I am itchy. I don't know if its dry skin, or all the mesquito bites or the water or what, but I am itchy none the less.
Patong makes me sad. I bought a shirt that I love tho, and may only be appreciated by people who have spent any amount of time here. On the back it says "No I do not want a f*&%ing tuk tuk, massage or a suit, thank you very much." There is thai on the front. One would think it says the same thing, but it probably says "I am Farang, ask me if I need a tuk tuk, massage or a suit."
All for now, will check back soon.
* Love*
