This morning I was back to the Continuum office, to continue facilitating Photoshop training. On the way there, we looked back and noticed that Kathy was not following behind us. We turned around to make sure everything was okay, only to realize that the motorbike had run out of gas. So Dean went to get gas and Kathy and I went for a wee bit of a walk...lol...it made for a great morning adventure, and a great opportunity to take pictures.
When we arrived at the office, we needed to get water as it was a particularly hot morning. Here in Thailand you can walk down the street and use an automatic dispenser to fill up your bottles.
Also in Thailand you can get gas for your motorbike from a roadside stand.
In the afternoon I headed back to the Ministry Centre because I had a craving for one of my favourite dishes here...spicy egg omelete over rice from "Grandma's "roadside stand. After lunch I went for a walk and took some pictures, before heading back to the centre.
My use of the Thai language is improving. It is a difficult language, because it is tonal. There can be 1 word with 3 different meanings depending on the tone you use. I have committed some phrases to memory, like Thank-You, How are You, Hello/Goodbye, I am well, Plus I can count in Thai. Hoping to expand my language knowledge even more before I leave.
That evening Nicky, one of the young women who works in the ministry c
entre was going to Pattya to open for the Christian group The Parachute Band. We were going to go, along with a bunch of the students and minstry workers, but decided that given the fact we were heading to Cambodia in a couple days, we could probably use an early night and the extra sleep.
I took my first Tuk Tuk Taxi form the ministry centre home that evening. It only cost about $1.25.It was a relaxing evening of baking brownies and cookies to take to the Cambodia missionaries, and playing Cranium.
On too today...I had to go and get pictures for my Visa. So I went to the Kodak Kiosk in the mall, they took my photo, and told me 20 mins, 20 minutes later afer lunch at the noodle shop I went back and they told me 20 more, 20 more minutes later, they said 10 more minutes which turned into 15 minutes. They gave me my 12 passport style photos, but forgot to include the Cd, so 10 minutes after that. I have my photos for my visa which have been photoshopped to perfection...lol.
I am uber stoked because tonight we have an evening of worship, which is a fitting way to prepare before we leave by bus for Cambodia tomorrow morning at 6:00am. That being said, I will not be doing any blog updates over the next 5 days while in Cambodia. but will be sure to include updates on all our experiences upon our return.
