Monday December 1st Day 11

Thanks for comments. It is good to hear from you all. Time is limited on the computer, and my typing skills are limited. I am not writing e-mails, it would take toooo long, so your comments are the only communication I get from the outside world. I can't believe I haven't heard from J. Where are you J?
The political situation over here is of concern now. We are not in any danger, but there is a problem with getting us out of the country. I have a little time up my sleeve, so I am hoping that the situation will be sorted soon, otherwise my travel plans may change. There are 4 volunteers who are leaving here either tomorrow or Wednesday, instead of Friday, and they are having to take trains to Singapore, and trying to find connecting flights from there. It is putting a bit of a dampener on our experience here. My due date for leaving Trang is December 19th. My flight back to Melbourne leaves Bangkok on December 21st. At the moment there is a backlog of at least 100,000 people to move out of Bangkok!!!I will be patient.
Monday, the start of my 2nd week in school. Brooke came with me again today. It could have been her final day. She is one of the volunteers who may leave tomorrow. I will be on my own again. No matter, I will manage. We are really getting stuck into the alphabet, the colours and counting in English. We also started on body parts, "heads shoulders knees and toes". Thanks Margie Beadle for your song book. Its just perfect.
It is still raining!!

Sorry Sis,

Have been waiting for e-mails and received nothing (thought miserable sod) then remembered your site, which I discovered today (1/12/08) - DOH!

Glad you're enjoying Thailand, the teaching sounds fun - hope it isn't stretching you too much!

Don't worry if you have difficulty leaving Thailand; I'm working on a plan - can't say much now, only that it involves a guy in a red cloak!!

Lots of love J and Tess xxxx
