So this week was an interesting one. I was at a school I hadn't been to before, working in a class with all autistic children. It was pretty difficult, not because of the learning disabilities, but because no one, including the teachers, spoke English. I never thought that that would be such a problem for me, but I realized that I cant do much when I don't know what people are telling me to do. I kinda broke down the first day there and had to call mom and complain because the teacher just kept repeating herself in Thai.. Cause yeah that helps me understand. Ugh. But after that things got better. Each day got a little easier, and by my last day I was sad to leave those cute kids.
This week I also got my first Thai massage. These things are not like anything you've seen before. The old women bend your body in all these weird positions and some of them hurt pretty bad. I was trying the entire time not to laugh cause I felt so ridiculous!!
Yesterday I got to go to a cooking class and I made some crazy Thai food. So when I get home I'll have to make it for you all. Before we cooked we went to a market and at this market there was a huge section of meat. If you guys know me at all, you know that I'm not a huge meat eater. And here in Thailand they aren't afraid of anything. So... I walked in and there are intestines, pig feet, pig heads, livers, anything you can imagine that would kill a vegetarian. After that I decided to cut back on the meat I've been eating here. It was rough, guys.
Anyway, that's about it for this last week. Hope to hear from you all soon!
