1 week in Nakhon Sawan, my legs are covered in mosquito bites.

It has been a week now since we have been in Nakhon Sawan but it feels like a month. Everyday is so long and we do so much. There is just far to much to talk about and one of my friends just told me that I'm not very good at writing so instead I'll show you a few photos of what we have been doing. We now have more information on our project though. We are going to be teaching in 8 schools which are ran by the government of Nakhon Sawan. We will spend a month in each school and I think and once a week we go and teach at a novice monk school called Killiwong school which is a school for boys who come from poor backgrounds so they become monks in order to get access to education.It is supported by the SET Foundation who also pays our wages-6250 baht a month which works out at 125 pounds. We haven't started teaching yet just observed lessons and how things work. 

As they say, pictures speak a thousand words so here we go:

Monks at Killiwong sleeping in the library.

 Our living room at our hosts. On the walls is our new family. The kids when they were young.

 Our Home for another week.

 Can't see very clearly here but mad downpour when we went out for dinner. The are frequent out bursts of crazy raining here.

 We were invited to a thai wedding which was nice. Here the bride and groom sit while guests pour water over their hands as a sign of good luck.

 As foreigners me and Holly are treated like VIPs and here we are enjoying a nice frappucino!

 Some excited thai kids at a private school that we went to observe

Sports day! The students put on a show and showed us their dancing. 

Rode an elephant today! Was so exciting but pretty scary I must admit!

Me and my thai brother- Time (and Holly in the background)

So that's our week so far. We start teaching on the 10th and move into our flat on the 8th. I'll update you soon. Also forgot to mention our thai Mum is very Mumsy and likes to do our hair in the morning hence in every photo my hair has some kind of ornament in it!

Anyway its getting late now, so goodnight.
