The school has given me a condo to live in while I am teaching here at a place called the Casita's. I have a three bedroom, two bath (two floor) condo with a small kitchen, dining room, and living room. There is a pool and fitness area for me to use which is convenient. I think the biggest adjustment for me is just that I have never lived on my own, but I have been busy every night so far which is nice! There are several teachers and some students living in the 6 building complex so it is nice to know others are near. It is about a 4 minutes ride to school in the morning and a van comes to pick us up and drop us off each day. I live about 1/2 mile from a large market and about a mile from the nearest Tesco Lotus (big grocery store/mall). I don't see to many forangs in my area, but like I have said before it is not too hard for me to get into Bangkok. If anyone is coming to here I have extra beds and I am only 10 minutes from the airport (if there is no traffic!)
So for everyone who was asking if I was living in a grass hut I'm not... I actually am pretty spoiled with this place and I have only had to kill one cockroach so far!

Jen, I'm just getting caught on everything you've done since early November and finding it fascinating.
I would admint to being worried when I read about the international airports being closed. I guess that's when you're really committed to what you are doing (when there's not turning back). I was relieved to learn that the situation at the airports was "resolved."
I assume that you'll be spending Christmas in Thailand. I hope it is truly joyous.
