A Very Suphan Christmas!

Well Christmas has come and gone already! Christmas morning Matt and I opened some presents and headed off to work in our very decorated santa hats, thanks to Mom! Most of the Thai people we passed on our walk to school did a small smile and giggle as they went by. Since the M4, M5 and M6 students were on a field trip, I luckily enough did not have any classes to teach all day.

For lunch, all the Thai teachers put together a little christmas luncheon complete with french fries, and thai food. For the rest of the afternoon all the foreign teachers went into the library to use the big screen TV and watch Tommy Boy.

After school, Matt and I got back to the house and got ready for the Christmas dinner at the Thai/Farang Restaurant close by. The owner is from Holland and he made is a free (!) dinner with mashed potatoes and thai meatballs. There were about 25 of us foreign teachers from other provinces of Suphanburi there to celebrate. After dinner, we all headed up Nikki's room in the apartments and participated in White Elephant. We all bought gifts, 100B worth, and came out with some good stuff. I received, after stealing it from Ian, a wonderful toilet seat that says "Take Your Time" on it. I was very pleased. Overall, a very Thai christmas!
