Nakhon Sawan

So we got the train from Bangkok to Nakon Sawan. We were told we were in 3rd class with wooden benches and with chickens. I wasn't looking forward to it to be honest. Instead we got upgraded to second class as third class was full-hurrahh! It still wasn't great though. No air con what so ever , it was so hot-not a great atmosphere to nurse a hangover either. We slept the whole way and arrived in Nakhon Sawan at about 5pm. Nakhon Sawan is where we are going to live for the next year. It will be home. Apparently we have a 2 bedroom apartment fitted with air-con waiting for us but for now we have a host family. It is supposededly the fifth biggest city in Thailand too but descriped by a Thai guide book as an 'unwelcoming sprawl' that interrupts the beautiful countryside. We were greeted by Peter, a man who apparently pays our wages and another teacher who looks after us. We have a host family for 2 weeks who are really nice. They even bought us flowers with our names on. Our host family is a family of 4. Our thai mum and dad have 2 sons-Time and Thame. Thame is 12 and Time is either 7 or 8 (he keeps changing his answer) They are really sweet and let us use their laptop and tablet. Today we visited an aquarium and watched a crocodile show. One of the highlights of the show was throwing money into the crocodile's mouth and seeing that they didn't eat it. Thai people are clever, they know how to get money from you! Anyway its been a long day and me and Holly are meeting the Lord of Nakhon Sawan tomorrow so I best get a good nights sleep and look my best, night!
