So life can change pretty quickly, moving from one country to another, one job to another, from country living to city living and trading cultures, but the biggest has been my schedule. I find it sad that when the clock shows 9:00 pm I find myself thinking I should be in bed. Now if you know me you know the departure that is for me. I have been a night owl all my life, my previous job had me up till 1 or 2 in the morning and sleeping in was 11 or noon. Now however I wake up at 5:45 am and consistently find myself in bed by 9 or 10. I remember my wife asking if i wanted to watch something on the computer and I looked at the clock and it was 9:15 and telling her it was too late! Yup too late! Sleeping in now a days is 8 or 9, wow what a change. I now feel old not cause my body is aching or my sight is leaving but because I'm tired by 10.
So the night after Christmas we had a special treat. As our family was winding down for bed the children's violin and singing group came by our house for some caroling. They shared with us about five songs and a little dance number too. You never know what you'll see in this part of the world and you must always be ready for a show. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and I wish you a happy new year.
So this week I got my US phone unlocked after quite so time of trying. I tried a few places here and no one could do it so I finally called AT&T and without a pause or care they gave me the unlock code with instructions to unlock the phone. With that I now carry a aspect phone with a camera on it, with which I will try and take photos every week and have a phone pic of the week (hopefully), depicting some aspect of Thai living. Here is the first, this is my brother in law walking the streets of Bangkok, giving you a feel of city strolls.
So the a couple of weeks ago Kaiya and I joined the freshmen class on a field trip to a flower garden and crocodile farm and elephant park. It was a cool experience, especially for Kaiya. The elephant show and park just enthralled the little girl, we got to see a show feed the elephant and even feed them by hand. At first she wasn't so sure about it but after a while she wanted to buy more bananas to feed the huge animals, and after the ride she wanted more cause in her words the ride was too short. Thailand is one big adventure for the little one and even bigger for her parents.
