After more than three weeks at a school in a town two hours north of Bangkok, Teacher Jonathan is no more.
I had an awesome time at the school and the kids were great. In the least paedophilic way possible, they were all very, very cute.
Having now left the school, I feel that the I have left a lasting impact on the kids' abilities to speak English. After the first week they had mastered bookkeeping and by the end of the third, many were reciting passages from Shakespeare.
Okay, I am exaggerating slightly. Really, they were able to say such profound wisdoms as "yesterday I went to ayuttaya an I go swimming" or "tomorrow I go to school with friends". Personally, I'd actually prefer to hear these kinds of stories than a Macbeth or an Othello. But thats just me. Music may well be the food of love, William, but going to Bangkok to play ping pong is far more interesting.
Enough of that nonsense, I was meant to tell you what Im up to. I've spent the last 3 nights in Bangkok (one night included going to a Muay Thai boxing match which was incredible!) and tonight Im travelling to Phuket where ill be spending just the one night. After that its Phi Phi for two nights, a couple more on Koh Samui before heading to Koh Phagnan for full moon.
Alright, back to the nonsense. (Is it obvious I dont structure my blogs very well? ) Given the name of the blog, I thought it only right to mention how Israeli Thailand really is. Walking down the streets of Bangkok you bump into some big, big Jews as you pass delis, cafes, travel agents and shops all with big neon signs in Hebrew. I even stumbled across an Israeli restaurant serving bagels, chicken soup and other such delights. Needless to say it was the only restaurant on the road with an armed guard sitting outside.
Enough for now.
Love to you all
