Another quick blog entry, by request! (Ben, that's you...) Last wednesday, how did I fail to mention that I woke up with a cockroach on my head. Needless to say, despite the bank holiday, I didn't go back to sleep! Anyway, we went for a wander in the morning, to see if there were any Kingly activities going on for his birthday, but it seems most people were using the day off to chill out! In the afternoon, we went to Phanom Rung, which was lovely. A teacher fr...

An update already! So at the weekend, the others who I live with went away for the weekend, but I fancied a quiet one, as I had been yet to spend a weekend here in my new hometown!

His name is Paul (or something like that!) and he speaks ok English... PLUS he played English music in the car, so I was up for that. He was loving a bit of John Lennon and Jason Mraz, so that went down pretty well. As soon as I got to school, Khai (one of the English teachers) came to get me, to take p...

Another week, figured I should do another blog! So I moved into my apartment on Tuesday last week (when I posted last). I was told I'd be working that day, and I'd be picked up at 8am and arrive at school just a little late... but it got to 10am and I hadn't heard anything! So that's how things work over here.
