Well not quite, as a teacher I go to school four times a week. Tuesday and Wednesday in secondary school and Thursday and Friday in Primary School. It's quite fun. the other day me and Anna did our first joint lesson teching fruit to Battong three and four (years three and four. I think.) They're enthusiastic and totally loved playing 'slap the board' at the end. School on the whole is fairly laid back. The students don't do an awful lot of work, the teachers answer their moblies in class and the children just walk in and out all the time. As do stray dogs. And lesson times aren't really set. We gathered that they were all on the hour every hour but apparently it's perfectly normal for the whole class to turn up fifteen minutes late. But they're generally well behaved so I can't really complain. Except the boy we've dubbed 'Devil Child' already.
Okay Beth asked about lizards 'and shizz' they're very cute and we have loads living in our house. They hide behind bookcases, run up the wall and eat the insects so they're good roomates! And there are alot of insects. Ants are always around, as are spiders and mosquitos which are mysteriously attracted to clean laundry for some bizzare reason. There's also huge dragonflies and huge butterflies and huge bee/wasp/hornet things. The last two are the only ones that really freak me out though.
Lauren mentioned weather. It's really really hot all the time and it rains heavily everyday for a few hours- usually in the evening though so it cools everything down for the night. I have to sleep with a fan on still. It's getting colder though (hurrah) and temperatures my even dip to 24 degrees! (shock, horror)
My after school anglish class went fine but it's funny because Anna is Scottish so whatever she teaches them, they repeat in her accent. Amusing! She says the same about me but I can't see it myself. :)
Going to Mukdahan tomorrow ( check the Lonely Planet guide Mum!) for shopping and generally doing some touristy things for once. Sawat Dee Ka!
