happy thanksgiving, and things I have discovered

Happy Thanksgiving! I had a fabulous day yesturday, I am so thankful for this time and for the people here, and for everyone back home! I miss and love you! God has been so GOOD. I hope you all are well! Here are some random little things that I have discovered so far...

I am enjoying eating the different delicious food found here...some what of a surprise is the enormous amount of pork that is consumed. There is pork everywhere!

Motorcycle taxis are usually the quickest way to get somewhere close, and are fun and sometimes crazy scary! You must make sure your legs are close to the bike because you weave in an out of traffic quite swiftly.

Most drinks and are served in bags with a straw...it is rather useful.

I love riding the Skytrain and watching the different people the emerge and exit. There are so many people here from all over the world, it is captivating!

A Thai massage is wonderful.

I love the fresh fruit that is always available...with a stick to consume it with.

Monday is the day to honor the King, by wearing a yellow shirt. The King was born on a monday, and so on that day there is a sea of yellow covering the city...although I think that it may change to pink in the future.

We have a team member from Costa Rica named Raul, and it has been fun mixing the three languages of English, Spanish and Thai to communicate!

I am sure there is more, but this is all I can think of right now. I must go now and study for my first Thai language speaking test that I have today. ;)

I will be posting more pictures soon...!
