Only in Thailand..

'Is that mouse poop, gheko poop or poop bugs..?' whilst looking in the cupboard.


Having to call our boss and see if we can come over and use his shower because we have no running water for the weekend. 


Using ridiculous amounts of rubber bands to hold the tap down because when the water eventually came back on..we discovered the tap was broken and then proceeded to brake it further by mistake. 


'I feel itchy..can you check my head for lice again?' (thankfully there were none..but it's a very high possibility)


'How are you today teacher?'
'I am good thank you, and you?'
'I am fine thank you, and you?'
It can be a bit of a vicious circle...


People are freezing in 20 degree weather. And I even where a jumper..I'm not quite sure how it's possible to feel cold in this country, but it has happened.


Setting Chinese lanterns off next to some old monks who catch a tree on fire, and almost catch us on fire. At the same time as killing themselves laughing because they've attached sparklers on the end of the lanterns and that is why everything is going up in flames. Definite trouble makers. 


Is the answer 'tall' given when the question is - 'Who is God?'


Does my science lesson consist of 'pretend to be a monkey, now pretend to be a tree, now pretend to be a pencil' and do 1st graders constantly tell me everything is beautiful because that is one of the only adjectives they know. It is good for self-esteem though...in the moments when their tact is not letting them down!


Pretending to be a tree.


These are not moments of significance, nor do I have much to say about them. But these are the moments in my days where I am reminded that I am far away from home, and that the best things to do in these situations is to laugh it off.
