This week instead of going on a homestay I opted to stay at
the foundation and teach various groups here. Annoyingly four of my scheduled
classes have already been cancelled so I haven’t been able to do hardly any
teaching. So, I planned to wake up at 5am and watch the sunrise and then go for
a run seeing as I had a free morning the next day.
But I have the ‘Week 3 bug’. The old volunteers told me on my first day that illness creeps in around week 3 when your body has lost all the vitamins from your home diet. This is likely why I’ve been walking around sneezing on everything. Anyway I felt to ill to skip sleep or go for a run.
Some good news though, owing to yesterdays cancelled lesson a group of us went to Doi Chaang (Doi Chaang!!!!) and ate cake. And in the evening 7 of us girls watched ‘The Parent Trap’ on Ash’s laptop in her dorm (she's in the wooden cabin, just like the ones in the parent trap!). That was fun :)

Now that my teaching plans and then morning plans were not
going to happen I walked to the village shop and then sat on
a wall over looking the rice paddies eating my rice cake (ironic, I know) and
watching butterflies (they move too quickly to attempt a photo but they are big and black with pink and white patterns).
All of this came to 35Baht- 74p!
Churro, one of the many dogs that hangs around the foundation
came with me from the foundation to the shop, the rice paddies and back to
foundation. What a cutie!
