FINALLY.......

a new post.. I' standing at one of the free computer terminals at the airport in Bangkok. I've been in Bangkok just one night so i have a new 10 week stay permit. What a run it has been. Even worse than other times. I arrived yesterday at 18:00 at the airport but wasn't in my hotel until around 8. I am bringing some boxes with books for school so that needed some sorting out. And we're starting a book club at school with a whole group of Myanmar teachers. It'll help them with their reading since most of the never make it beyond early teenage books. Some of them even find Harry Potter difficult! I tought it would only be a small group that would be interested but already 16 people have signed up.For the first book i chose a book of which we have several copies in our library already. But we needed more. It wasn't easy to find enough(cheap)copies. So that took up a lot of time. And I needed to go to one of the big supermarkets here. There are still so many things i can't get in Burma. It isn't so bad as 4 years ago but still. And Xenne and I have started to bake cookies on a regular basis. So i bougt things like icing sugar and all that.

what else is new? Xenne is going to school since a few weeks. 3 mornings and he loves it. The other day he said that his teacher was not happy because she had not said goodbye to him. (she had done so but he had been to busy or distracted to hear it).

i was interrupted by one of my students. we talked for a few seonds it seemed and i turn to this page and all was gone.. i'm s glad there is autosafe ...

Ok, time to let someone else have their go on the free internet. I'll try and post again but the internet is slow nowadays. and the times i have tried to get onto the blog, i got nowhere. Besides, i don't try that often since i have no internet cafe near my home. But now that Xenne is a little older, maybe i can do it again some more
