Sawadee ka ladies,
It's Rachel here, all the way from Thailand. I remember many of you expressing interest in hearing about my trip and how I am doing so I thought I could give you all an update.
I am about 4.5 months into my teaching trip now and I am loving it. I teach in a town called Surat Thani which is in the south of Thailand, at a little school called "Mathus Anuban". When I say little, it really is small... I only teach 42 kids! I teach 2-7 year olds mostly English as they are just learning the basics at this stage so there are no subjects per say. My kids are so cute! I'll add some pictures of them so you can see for yourself.
My parents came to visit for two weeks in January, was so nice to experience the north of Thailand with them and the islands.
On the subject of golf... I played my first round today. Let me tell you, it is very hard to find left handed clubs in Thailand. I have not met a single person who is a lefty here. A Thai local ordered me a set of irons online and they just arrived, YAY. Played today with my 7 clubs, no driver or putter haha. I hit my 5 iron basically every shot including putting! Let's just say my short game could use some work. There is only one golf course in my town and you can picture it as worse than Ashbrook (whoops did I say that?).
Anyways it's all for good fun and I am loving the heat. It was 37 degrees today, some would say a bit too hot but I am not complaining.
I hope you ladies are doing well. If you would like to add me on facebook to see the photos I am posting or shoot me a message, I will provide a link below. I finish teaching at the end of March and then going travelling with my boyfriend after that. I will be in Cobourg for the summer and then attending the University of Ottawa for teacher's college in September. Can't wait to golf this summer!
