Happy Birthday to the King!!!
December 6th, the king's birthday...a very important holiday here in Thailand. Thai people love the king, and they show their love by wearing yellow shirts. Rach and I even bought some of the king's official yellow polos to teach in. Usually at any given time about 30-40% of people on the street are sporting the yellow shirts, but on the king's birthday it was a sea of yellow. We went to the celebration and saw lots of very interesting food, including crocodile and bugs. Crocodile I tried (it was a bit chewy) and I passed on the bugs. I have one week of school left. I am very ready to go travel. My sister will be here on the 20th of December, and my friend Germaine is popping over from Nepal on the 13th. I have had enough time in Phuket and am very ready to go see the rest of Thailand.

Hey Ar! I got your blog address from Allan. You little world traveler, I want to see all the stamps on your Passport. Last time I saw you (we were eating, and your blogs seem to revolve around food.... a lot!), you were trying to get Del to tag along. Hope you all had fun. Keep us informed and entertained.
be well, be safe.....norman
