Work again!

Back to work as usual here. Last week was really nice because it was the first whole week we’ve worked since the 25th of March or something like that. Our schedule has been riddled with retreats and public holidays. Not only did I get to work Monday thru Friday, we also took a group of kids to an international school in Bangkok Saturday for a fun fair they had for kids around the city. The fun fair lasted all day, including magicians, old guys trying to rock, and free food. I ate a cheese dog…not a big fan.
The six days of work seemed to be a nice change to the several weeks in a row with days off for the many public holidays that Thailand recognizes.

Last week we took some of the kids to a nearby mall for the day. You’d think there would be a plan for having them there, but there wasn’t. We just walked around all day and looked at things. Towards the end of the day we had a session in the karaoke rooms on the third floor. The kids really loved the trip, despite how it seems it might have been boring for them. I though we would give them money and teach them shopping or something like that. Realistically though, the kids never get to go out and experience these things so they really enjoyed being there among the sights and sounds. I think we had like nine or ten kids in wheelchairs there. I think the only disappointed person on the day would have to be the very bored looking wheelchair saleswoman at a booth in the center of the mall. She must have seen our large pack of wheelchairs coming and thought the gods had been smiling down on her. I don’t think I wanna know what was going through her head when we stopped at the art booth right next to her, then passed her by as we walked/rolled off to the rest of the stores. Oh well.
It’s been storming a lot here the last week. Some kind of nearby cyclone I hear. Last wed. there was a good sized storm to come through. Knocked off part of the roof to the movie theater by our place. It was disappointing seeing as how the power was out at our house so we walked through the rain to go see a movie instead of sitting in the dark. Apparently they don’t show movies when there is water pouring into the theater through a hole in the roof.
