Masaman



Numbers 1 to 20, days of the week, months of the year and bingo. That's what Kate and I taught in school today to a class of 16 Thai children all wearing what looked liked scouts and guides uniforms, very smart. The first farang (foreigners) to visit that school for 5 years, a shame we were only there for one day. Tomorrow we're going to a different school.

We had a pretty relaxed afternoon, lunch in a cafe, walk round a market and then home for a few hours to chill out. We were then served another great Thai speciality, Masaman curry, really good. Every day we get to try a new dish, all of which are delicious. Masaman is a muslim curry from southern Thailand, if you ever get the chance, you're in for a treat.

This evening we went along to a house group, which was interesting to see, lots of energy, smiles and fruit. So far I think we're all having a great time, Thailand's a great country, our hosts are really friendly and accomodating and always wanting to spoil us, we're all working hard and the food is well worth writing home about!
