In conversation with Gai the other day, she speaks rapid fire English with a speech impediment and Thai pronunciation, I learned what it takes for her to borrow money. First, she has to find someone who will lend money because the bank will not. Then, if she borrows money, she has to pay 20% interest. WOW!
It's a bit of a ride to get to school each morning. Some of it is open country with rice paddies. A couple of days ago on my trip to school I saw a mink cross the road between paddies. I didn't know there were mink in Thailand. The Thai dictionary gives the Thai word for mink so that confirmed my identification.
The third grade teacher was absent today. Walking by the the 3rd grade room I looked in. The third graders were all sitting at their desks working in their notebooks with no adult in the room. Perhaps the students are on their best behavior when left alone. With an adult present they may engage in attention gaining behavior.
