Brief Update

A little fishy

On Sunday, Tim and I bought an aquarium and some fish for the kids. We stopped at some large outdoor market. The market is organized by products, and their was a fairly large section of fish and aquarium vendors.

We bought fresh water fish, as we have heard that they are easier to care for. Unfortunately, we have lost an average of a fish a day since we got them. May have to pull the rest and try to clean the tank.

Everybody Bang Sai

Yesterday Nalin's class took a field trip to Bang Sai and I was a chaperone. I ended up with 5 kids, 3 boys and 2 girls. I was the only one so fortunate to get more than four kids and two boys.

Overall the trip was okay. Bang Sai is an area with some crafts, and a really impoverished aquarium and aviary. The thing the kids liked the most was being able to spend the 100 baht they were allowed to bring in one of the many shops.

Service with a Smile

Today, Jacob and Nalin started their tennis lessons. They have an instructor for one hour per week, and the cost is only 700 baht per session. That's about $23 U.S.

The kids had an absolute blast. The instructor was recommended by one of Jacob's friend's mom, and he is very good. He makes learning fun for the kids. Nalin was asking if she could come back tomorrow. I wanted to have two lessons per week, but his schedule was too full. Some pictures are here.
