I bought a sexy new pink (or 'see champoo' in Thai, I love that word!) camera the other week, after my last one died a death in Bangkok. So, I've tried to take a few pics over the last couple of weeks to share with you. Attempted getting the monkeys today. But, everytime i got my camara out when I was close to them was scared they'd pounce! SO, all you have is a couple of naff distance shots for now, ha ha!

Will do a proper written catch up real soon, but for now, enjoy the piccies!

Travelling Teacher

I'm Kate, 23, and have just moved to Lopburi, Thailand, where I am going to teach English for a year. I have spent most of the last 12months in India, where I volunteered for an NGO aiming to give street children a childhood worth remembering, as well as got my TESOL certificate and travelled around the Southern part of the country. This blog is to keep friends and family up to date with my adventure, and also for me to keep a track of what I hope to be a massive learning curve, as well as a teaching one!... full info

Messing about with my settings on my new toy!

School Entrance

The monkey temple.

I didn't dare get my camera out any closer, in case they attacdked me!!

The King.

Me in the office

Sporting my BSS t'shirt, that we wear on Friday's. It's the schools 'super students' theme. Has it's own theme tune and everything.

Some of my students.

Have posted more of them in a private blog, but this is a silly one, I thought I'd put here. I love this class.

Apartment building

And a storm brewing!

Kung

Kung, is actually said more like 'Goong', but even now, after almost three months of working with her, and teaching with her two days each week, I still get it wrong! Kinda embarressing when at the beginning of each lesson we teach together, I have to say 'Helloooo Teacher Kung!' for the students to copy, and everytime I cringe at my crap pronunciation! (Keep threatening to just call her Shrimp, as that is what her name means in Thai!)

Belle

Another of our TT's (Team Teachers), and the only one I've never taught with. We call her GG for short, (graphic girl) as this is what she did in her previous job, and one day a week she doesn't teach, she puts her other skills to use in the office, making us funky resources.
