Hello America,

I know I have not written on my blog site in so long, but my family has had me busy touring the whole country. I am on a free break period as I like to day for the next three days before I go out of my city to Bangkok again. Well I will bring you up to speed on what I will be doing this week and next. On Friday the school is involved in a festival here in the province and Frederick and I are the main attraction. It is some kind of a religous service. We will be riding in a convertable in like a parade type thing. It should be really fun. This little event is an all day event.Here in Thailand a all day event means all day. Like from 7:45 until 6:00 in the evening. After that I get home and take a shower, eat dinner, and go straight to bed because the b\next day I have to be at school at 4:45 in the morning which means I have to be up at 4:00 in he morning to get up. On Saturday we have to drive up north seven hours up to Bangkok to see a play that is famous in Thailand with the whole school. I can't wait t go because it will remind meof my theater year at Johnston.We will be returning on Sunday morning. So I guess we will be staying in Bangkok. The next week on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday or Wednesday, Thursay, Friday, I can't remember which three days it is. We are going to another city in Thailand that is about four hours north of Bangkok which is eleven hours for us. The city is called Chum Bury. Or something like that to go visit the famous river there. About two-hundred students will be going. Things are looking up here in Thailand. Even though it only took me about four days to settle myself in I feel really at home. This is now offically concidered to me my second country home. I don't know if i'm coming back. LOL. I miss everybody in Houston( I don't want to list the names because I don't want to forget anybody.We have eatin there a couple of times. The other places are just regular Thai resturant s that serves the same food which is.......THAI FOOD..... I have started to lose weight because i am not eating that much because I am not really hungry. For breakfast I usually have just a glass of juice and that is at 7:30 a.m. For lunch I have a soda pop and a bowl of noodles at noon. For dinner I have a bowl of rice and some soup at 7 or 8: at night. I don't know why I am never hungry.As I'm typing to you. I am playing my inspiration and mitivational song for this school year. The regular graduation song. If I want to here the real thing I have to do my work in school. I am still trying to put more pictures on the website but the computer is not letting me. Well I miss you all and hope to talk to you soon.
