Okay so there wasn't that much blood. Just a tiny bit from where I cut my toe on some grass. Yes grass. It was sharp. Today we went to grow rice with some of our Thai students/friends, two are twins and they live on a rice farm just outside the town where we're staying. We waded into the paddy fields and stuck green shoots in the mud. It was alot of fun but I couldn't do it for an entire day. I ended up losing both my shoes when I got stuck in the mud and so I am a pair of flip flops down. In November it's harvest time so we'll be back for more! (and armed with a much more secure pair of shoes) So beware, the next batch of rice you eat could have been grown by yours truly. Food for thought indeed.
In other news, me and Anna (my partner) moved out of our host family's house and into our own lovely accomadation. It's a three bedroom three bathroom bungalow with proper showers! ( we've been dunking our heads in buckets for the past week) Our host family threw us a kind of leaving party and many people came. They held a special welcoming ceromony for us which entailed every guest tieing a white string around each of our wrists and wishing us health, happiness etc. It was so nice but now I have aroung thirty white (well greyish now really) strings on my arm that I can't take off for three days otherwise I'll get bad luck.
That's it for now so Sawat Dee Ka!
Oh and tomorow I'm giving my first after school english lesson so wish me luck...
Good luck! :P
