- The fruit! Oh the glorious rambutans, mangosteens and pomellos... and other random new fruits...
- Getting to school by boat and looking at the scenery. My favorite is Wat Arun (or the Temple of Dawn).
- The girls... specifically:
- Their funny mistakes. For example, today I taught an M2 lesson about pets. The girls had to write down answers to question about their pets. One girl wrote that she has a pet "taltel". I'll give a GOLD STAR to the first person to figure out what animal she's talking about.
- The ooh's and ahh's I get when I lift a chair above the desks to bring it to the front of the room. They think I'm strong!
- And their endless smiles.
- The 5Baht "pudding" from the cafeteria. By pudding I mean jello pieces cover with shaved ice and hot pink syrup. (And also the sweet and spicy sauce that I get almost daily.)
- The weekend and the night markets.
- The consistently warm weather.
- The prices and the 7-11s.
- Different countries being only a short plane ride away.

ooh, ooh! call on me!
does taltel == turtle?
Tall Tale. It means, Tall Tale Grande, as in the student told a tall tale about her turtle.
Dear Miss Olga,
If you teach in future, and you want to have smiling-faced students, tell them that one thing you love about the class is seeing their smiling faces.
This has worked for me at two institutions: one more cranky than the other.
