Saint Gabriel's College

I teach at Saint Gabriel's College in Bangkok. Another teacher and I have been assigned the task of writing English plaques for the statues in the wax museum, so I will share some history with you here. I was walking through the original building yesterday, which is reminiscent of an old plantation mansion in the Southern United States, and I took my time looking at some old photographs on the wall. The wooden floors flex and creak in a way that is beautiful and comfortable. There is a breeze that constantly travels through the windows that are never shuttered and you can feel the history in every breath you take. The college was built in 1920 by the Brothers of Saint Gabriel, and has turned into one of the premier schools in Bangkok. Below of some photographs from the walls of the school.

Pause

This is a Swedish girl I met while traveling the islands in Southern Thailand. This is on Koh Samui at a cafe an hour before she flew back to Australia, ending a year long journey which took her as far as South America. Needless to say she was interesting. This picture has appeared on the blog before, but I decided to edit it and repost.

Dive Koh Tao

My Christmas present this year was a PADI Open Water Diver Certification. We spent four days on Koh Tao diving in beautiful, clear water surrounded by tropical fish including groupers, clown fish, barracudas, walk-man fish, and some massive bull sharks. The man with the amazing shark tattoo is Dave, our instructor, who took us flawlessly through the course. His website is here, he can set you up with a program from anywhere in the world and speaks 5 languages. Here are some selected photos of the experience. Soon to come, The Full Moon Party.
