I say tomato, you say makuahted!

Wow...okay so this first day (well three including travel) has been extremely surreal. First off I almost miss the flight to the Ukraine because of NYC traffic. Once I get on I am the only one on the plane who is a tad darker than porcelain. Yup the plane was filled with Russian's and then peppered with Hasidic Jews (surreal I tell ya). So I sat next to this one hasidic Jew who didn't say anything to me (granted I was unconcious 90% of the flight) but saw the books I was reading and perhaps that I was alone and at the end of the flight handed me this book that said "Courage" on it. Haha..I take it as a good Omen.
Then once almost missing my flight from Russia to Bangkok (because the only Russian words I know come from episodes of "The Simpsons" and "Sex and The City") I arrive in Bangkok and I am totally taken in by the Thai teachers. I taught a class today, and the kids can be soooo cheeky (son as they say). And supposedly I have a Thai looking face! Yup that is right, thank goodness my parents got together and planned to have a universal abrigonal looking kid! So now I am at the house of one of the teachers and we just went out to Dinner, which she used as a two hour long Thai lesson! But the kids are cute and laugh at all my short commings (AKA everything I say).
