YAY! I'm back. We finally have internet in our office. I'm so excited..it could also be the steroids I'm on but who knows. Seriously though. I have this awful cold that's lasted a week...Thai colds are way worse than the American ones.  So I have loads of mucous and it doesn't mix well with my asthma.  Last time I had this happen I went to my allergist and he gave me steroids to clear up since it's so harmful and I had some left over, so I figure if it worked then it'll work now. YAY!  So much has happened since my last post...

I'm in the swing of teaching now.  I have 10 students and they range from really excellent to learning the fingerings.  It's a nice mix.  The ITG conference is next week so everyone is freakin' out around here..including Dave and I.  Dave went down to the hotel last weekend to measure the stage and right across the street is a nasty massage place..yeah..disgusting. 

Our menu is constantly expanding here.  At first we we're only eating at 2 places and now there's like 4 or 5 that we can eat at..yes! Yesterday we calculated that we spend about $5 or $6 a day on food!  That's 2 meals, sometimes 3 a day.  We usually have cereal in the morning but the only thing we can afford is corn flakes. That's right...we are poor kids that can only eat corn flakes.  If we wanted Lucky charms or Frosted Flakes we'd pay about $9 per box!!!!!! Isn't that nuts?  We jsut ate at a new breakfast place that's really yummy..they don't really do breakfast here but we managed to get scrambled eggs and pancakes..with honey.  No syrup.  what's up with that?  We've been compiling a list of costco items to get in July when we're home for Ann's wedding and at the top of the list next to cereal is syrup and peanut butter...they only have jiffy.  I guess there are grocery stores in Bangkok with american products so that's next.  I just want some freakin beans, cheese, salsa and tortillas...oh yeah.  I'm drooling thinking about that... but maybe that's the roids too. haha.

I'll be updating more and very soon my website will be up..I'll work on that on Friday. Peace.
