School is in. I'm taking two classes at the AUA school here in Chiangmai. Two hours in the morning I learn/review beginning spoken Thai for two hours, take an hour for lunch, then another two hours learning to read and write Thai. Thai has 41 consonants and many vowels so the late afternoon is spent in study. It's hard work, but fun. When I come back to Thailand my Thai should be much improved and make visits to small villages or off the beaten track places more accessible.
The six week course lasts until just before my visa ends when I'm not sure if I'm going to Malaysia or Cambodia first. The trick of successful travel is to keep ones self open to change and new situations, so we'll wait and see.
I'll have to get on the stick and work on posting photos for everyone. It's going to take some learning and time is limited during the school week. Patience is a virtue, right? Off to dinner at a great Chinese restaurant that I found. BTW Chrysanthemum tea is really nice. It has a clear yellow color and is very refreshing. Then more homework...the school boy blues... :)
