I have backpacked to Calcutta, Delhi, Jaipur, Bundi and I leave in one hour for Agra. After that I will go to Varanassi, Kathmandu, Pohkara, and then a trek through the mountains of Nepal.
I have not gotten food poisoning.
I drink a lot of Masala Tea with milk.
I hope to eventually find internet that can upload pictures.

Farewell Bangkok
We laughed, we cried.... today is my last day in Bangkok for a while. Tomorrow morning at 9 AM I will board a flight Calcutta and will be in India and Nepal for the next 50 days. I will continue to blog but it will be hasty and the photos will be unedited (should be entertaining nonetheless). Anyway, I am feeling a little nostalgic about leaving behind the city I've grown to love and the kids that taught me to love it. Here are a couple pics and the map of my next journey.

Man and Wife, Man and Monk
Woke up at 5 am, drove four hours to Aor's parents neighborhood, had lunch, went to a temple/market, got coffee, went back to drink whiskey with the counsel of elders, took a nap/shower, wedding, had dinner, performed a rap song in front of 70 tables, sang karaoke and drank until about 3, woke up at five on the tile floor in poor shape, went to Mack's ordination as a monk, danced through the streets all the way to the temple while taking shots of whiskey against our will, watched Mack get ordained, went to the newest temple in Thailand, then to lunch on the dam, then to Palio for ice cream, and finally to a winery for... yes, more ice cream.... all in 36 hours.

Draw the clothes that you wear!
I have provided some examples of my students' work below. The assignment was an exercise on the different clothes that students wear. I told the students to draw a picture of themselves in an outfit that they wear frequently and then gave them some vocabulary to use, encouraging them to draw creative pictures with lots of vocabulary. The top picture is a very accurate example of what we see students wear to school everyday. From there it became highly imaginative and, at times, disturbing. Thanks for making my day weird third grade...
Please take time to examine the last drawing of "Pok Pak" in his "unberware".... jesus

The American Diet
Every American needs to watch this video because it addresses a crisis. Anyone from another country needs to watch this because American culture spreads like wildfire. Jamie Oliver is on a mission, he takes the stage with vigor, and his words should be heeded.
Watch this video, tell your friends and family and spend some time digesting the value of what is said.
