Last night we moved a mini fridge and microwave into our room from upstairs. We are living in quite the luxury now. The only luxuries missing are internet access and warm showers, but you take some and you leave some. We bought our supper from a street vendor, and it was okay. Buying from a street vendors is typical for most Thai's, but it is a struggle for me and Jodie. My mind is racing the whole time, wondering..."is this meat cooked?" "are these dishes clean?"
"am i going to get sick?" My mind is flooded with negative thoughts and letting go of those inhibitions is really difficult. Anyways, we returned home later in the evening and watched a movie and ate popcorn and drank pop. It was glorious.
Today, i spent the morning and early afternoon teaching and Jodie and I hope to visit an area affected by a fire yesterday. Its is very common for fires to occur here in the slum of Klong Toi. It may be a simple candle that starts the blaze, and many times spreads like wild fire in the compact housing units.
After we are done teaching tomorrow we are planning to head to the south of Thailand and go to a beach for a couple of days. I'm super stoked and am thrilled to get away from the busy city. Bangkok is conjested to the max and I would love to breath in non-polluted air for just a moment. Anyways, enough complaining. I hope you are all doing well and that you are surviving the latest snow storm.
Sending love from Thailand
Misty
