my water bottle is sweating on me

wow, the last week has been crazy. we moved on wednesday from our beloved bangkok hostel to our new apartment on the campus of the school that Jenn will be teaching at. It takes us about an hour to get there from the middle of the city depending on traffic.

Our apartment is one big room with a kitchen behind it. It is kinda dirty and nasty, but its free, so we cant complain much. I went and bought a bed so that we can sort of separate the living areas into two. The other good news is that its on the top floor (5th floor) so we hope that will attract less creatures that are unwanted. We are constantly seeing frogs, geckos, and other fun creatures everywhere we go.

On Friday night we went out with some of Jenn's co workers and we had a blast. It was great to get out and see a little of Thailand's night life. It was LOUD! So loud, in fact, that its nearly impossible to talk and you fear for the sake of your eardrums. t was so nice to be out having some drinks, dancing and having a great time with people that understand us.

I haven't written on here much because we haven't had an internet connection. The rumor is that the high-ups at the school and most thais in general dont like the internet and refuse to catch up with technology (i.c. installing fiber optics as they repave the road) so we are left to look for other options in our net-browsing needs. We will figure something out...

The other issue is that its been an emotional roller coaster and I dont have many words to say. There is alot to learn and process and take from what we are experiencing. The culture is alot harder than we might have imagined, there aren't as many friendly people as we might have hoped and the language is one of the hardest in the world to learn...

We are good, we are safe and we are making the best of it...
