I'm HERE

So I have arrived in Chiangmai, Thailand. The plane ride was soooooo long and uneventful, but boy was it long. It was about 22 hours of traveling once I got on the plane at JFK airport in NYC. The home I am staying in is really nice. I have my own room with it's own bathroom and two really comfortable chairs for reading-its perfect. I am definitely homesick at the moment as I am overtired, really hot (its about 97 degrees and HUMID), and still feeling nauseous from the plane ride. The only thing really interesting about my trip was that the moment I stepped on the plane I felt like I was in another country. I took China Air and even the Chinese Americans were speaking in Mandarin on the plane. I was a little lost. At least the movies were in English! I sat next to a Cambodian who claims he is from the royal family. However, he spoke slightly oddly about things-telling me how he wants to be THE ARTIST of 2007 and create a monument of the steps down to hell and up to heaven. I guess that doesnt sound that strange but the way he spoke about it for some reason made me think he might be full of it.

On another note, the children here at Ban San Faan are incredibly cute and friendly. They also speak a decent amount of english which is a plus. I can tell that I should learn some Thai however because many of the people who work here know very little English. Until Later, Brittany
