I’m at school on a Saturday — listening to the marching band practice while preparing to substitute teach in P5 on Monday.
I’m going home soon — four hours at school on a Saturday is a bit much. I wonder what’s going on downstairs — lots of kids singing…

Work Routine: A Photo A Day, Part 02

Work Routine: A Photo A Day, Part 01
Starting today, I will post a photo every day showing my daily routine teaching at a large bilingual school in Thailand from the early morning into the evening.

Chinese Sightseeing in Phuket
Yesterday, Timmy and I guided two of the Chinese teachers at our school around southern Phuket. They live at the school and don’t have transportation so they don’t get out-and-about much.

This was my first time experiencing a sauna but — with the encouragement of new friends Jit and Joy — I soon overcame my discomfort of the heat and learned to more-or-less enjoy it. At least I was in good company (on a very rainy day) and it seems to have...
