more pictures

One late morning last week, I walked to the daily market in Samrong, near my apartment. I tried to capture all the life, colors, sights, and sounds that I saw. If you are interested check out my flickr site,(the link is on the left of the page) I posted the pictures there! This country is crazy beautiful! I also posted some pictures of people in my neighborhood.

I am in the middle of a five day holiday from school. I will return on Tuesday, and will complete the 5th module on Friday. A few days ago my friend Som sent me a text message in Thai, and I was able to read it, understand it....and I replied back! It is the smallest thing, but I was so excited that I am able to use my Thai in different ways to communicate. I also find it fun to read the signs on the streets, and buses. In class we are reading paragraphs on Thai culture, and short stories, and even though I read slow, it makes sense...and I am starting to pick up speed!
