Honk if you love helmets

Notice that there are no crashes. That is significant. Order out of chaos. 

Like Mother, Like Daughter

This whole post is her fault.

Losing Weight

No more sickness, phew. Now we just need to limit our intake of mango sticky rice and find a regular exercise routine!

In Thailand they do aerobics for free in big parking lots. I'm sure we'll have pictures of that adventure soon, because who would pass that up?

NIMBY NOMBL (Not on My Bucket List!)

They were so very brave.

Andrew said he's already eaten some, so he didn't need to do it again.

Routine

Well, we are almost not sick anymore, and the students got here, so things are looking up! I started work today, and I am really excited about the projects we are working on. Andrew has been busy busy getting everything situated for the students with their host families, cell phones, weekend trips, etc. He won't start work until the middle of next week, but I'm glad he may have some down time before then--he needs a rest!

Here are a few more pictures to keep us up to date on our experiences here:

This is my pile of laundry, fresh from the nice lady down the street who washed, air-dried, and ironed my clothes! I couldn't believe how flat and nice my clothes looked all piled together. 

I love it here, but the malaria stinks.

I'm at 9 bug bites, which I guess isn't too bad. They itch more the second and third day, though, and each bug bite was received at a different time. So I'm planning on itching forever.

Also, I'm pretty sure the ratios on this graph will change depending on the day. I'll probably repost this graph every week showing how I feel.

Andrew and I have been sick this weekend, which has been a bummer. But I think we're almost back to 100% yay! And our students come tonight, so that will be a nice pick-me-up.

Happy Mother's day! We love you!

Proof we are here

Why I am blogging so much: I'm in the mood. I should probably save posts and publish them one day at a time, but I am too impatient for that. I want to publish all the posts at once. Also, as soon as I am not in the mood, I'll stop posting, so I want to record as much as I can while Thailand is still new to me!

This is the view from our roof garden. Doi Suthep is in the background--it is a mountain with a temple at the top. We will definitely go there sometime soon. 

Wat Chedi Luang. The Emerald Buddha used to be kept in this Wat, but now it is in Bangkok.
