Just a very quick update to let you all know what I'v been up to here in Koh Phangan over the past week... Tuesday, we went back to English camp for the morning and it was every bit as shambolic as the day before. Wednesday - was quite a long day teaching wise (for us anyway). One of the Thai teachers had previousoly asked if we could help him with his english, as his written english is fine but he finds speaking english very difficult (which is not surprisin...

Once again, so much has been going on since I last wrote that I'm sure I'll miss out a lot o stuff I wanted to write because I have forgotten it! But I shall try my best to remember everything. Last Sunday night (25th Jan) was the black moon party (there is pretty much 2 parties a week for some kind of moon here) and, after debating all day about whether to go or not, we bought some day-glow paint and got dressed up. It had been raining all day, so everywhere w...

We went there with a big group of people, including the danish couple we met a couple of nights before and also a couple of girl...

We got loaded into the back of a pick up truck and driven all over the place. First stop was the Chinese temple of the island. To be honest, it was quite tacky and looked like something you...

Hello all, Thanks so much for all your lovely comments it's so so nice hearing from you all :) The rest of my week in Bangkok flew by, sorry I haven't been keeping you all posted. The teacher training course wasn't half as intense as I thought it was going to be. Most of it was spent playing children's games and taking breaks to go and eat crepes. I think they were using the 'keep things varied and fast paced as children have short attention spans' technique on...
