I’m continuing to discover that it’s the little things that matter most.
Currently, these include:
- Having a third of my students come up to me to hug me as I leave class for the day.
- Eating out by myself and successfully ordering food completely in Thai.
- Working one on one with a student and seeing his concentration as he really tries to take something away from the lesson.
- Getting a ride home from work from a group of Thai teachers–just because they can.
- Getting a ride to work from a student’s parent on the back of his motorbike–again, just because he can.
- Waking up early enough to see the sunrise.
- High fives in class, all day, every day.
- Fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Popsicles at lunch break.
- Watching the sunset.
- Being here. Right now.
It's a Britta Bottle! 
Beautiful list. Really looks like you’re having a good time in Thailand. Glad you’re getting used to it, ordering in Thai (amazing!) and having your students hug and high-five you. Smiles all-around, it seems. Looking forward to a Part 2 of this list!

Thank you. Yes, for the most part, I’m having a lovely time. Life certainly isn’t always a trip to the beach here and adjusting has been hard, but overall, I’m very glad to be here.
