Ive been renamed Na Paa Sung which roughly translated means sky scraper! Working in the school has been great so far, but very knackering. Thai kids are very loud and sound like chipmunks when excited! I am in the 1-5 year olds class so was mostly running around trying to keep them entertained. The morning starts with an exercise class, then free time to play games. Around 11:30 they wash their hands ready for lunch. Today it was chicken blood soup. I didnt realise that we had to eat the same food as the children till it was too late :0( From then on i had an emergency snickers bar with me at all times.

After lunch we supervise them clean their teeth, then they have a nap for about an hour. As they sleep we have our lunch and paint the outside of the school with bright colours and pictures. When the kids wake up, they get washed and covered in talc (no i dont understand why either, something to do with the sun apparently?!!). Then its free time till the end of school at 2:30ish.

We went to a tiger balm factory last week and had traditional Thai Massage classes. The real thing is painfull. Im glad to say that we have visited our last temple! Got a picture of me infront of an amazing Cambodian style temple, looking totally fed up and bored. You get to the point where, after youve seen one giant gold budda, youve seen them all! Ive got the beach on my mind and cant wait to see a few western faces! Hot and fed up, Me, Becky and Char actually booked a night in the Majestic Hotel on Saturday, the most expensive hotel in Surin, just to use the pool!

Next stop Ko Sumet, yipeeeeeeeeeeeee! Will update photos next time as going off to dinner. Probably pork knuckle again, sick.
