http://thaimarajean.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 31, 2007. I took pictures of some of the ones I really enjoyed. I think writing in Thai script helps their drawing skills! Http:/ drake.facebook.com/album.php? Last weekend Annie, Aaron (a boy from Germany who works at KKU), and I went to Ubon Ratchatani for the infamous Candle Festival. This festival is to celebrate the start of Buddhist Lent. The festival was Sunday and Monday and we got there Saturday afternoon. It was awesome and unlike any other festival I have ever been to. This was t...

Mara's Thai Life: September 2007
http://thaimarajean.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 25, 2007. This is of a day trip to Nong Khai with Annie, Phil, Pinn and Kian. We drove up to Nong Khai for a change of scenery. We saw an amazing sculpture garden, ate delicious Vietnamese food and saw Lao. Frankly, I am sick of seeing Lao and not crossing the river so I am looking forward to actually experiencing the country soon! Http:/ drake.facebook.com/album.php?

Mara's Thai Life: June 2007
http://thaimarajean.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 29, 2007. Http:/ princeton.facebook.com/album.php? I knew the night was coming to an end when we started singing Thai songs. Eventually we stopped trying to say every word and would just try to say the right last word on the screen. Even that was pretty tough. I think we’re in need of some major Thai classes. Liz was asked by a man on a street to pose for his Thai Bridal Shop advertisements. A question to ponder: Would you say yes? Annie and Joey both came down with some colds this week.

Mara's Thai Life: My December Vacation
http://thaimarajean.blogspot.com/2009/02/my-december-vacation.html
Sunday, February 8, 2009. So far 2009 has been good to me. I hope it's been the same for you. Pictures first. Http:/ www.facebook.com/album.php? It's something I really miss doing here as there's not much to do other than teach English in KK. Honestly, the last thing I want to do after teaching English all week is to do it on my weekend as well. I was excited to have an opportunity that didn't involve teaching English! The classroom still being designed and cleaned. It took dedication to ring in 2009....

Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Koh Chang and Graduation. Http:/ drake.facebook.com/album.php? Pictures from Koh Chang:. Http:/ drake.facebook.com/album.php? Friday, December 7, 2007. But it really feels nothing like December. As I hear reports of snow back home I look outside and see a few leaves fall from trees. Is that really winter? Well they are not too far away as some don't think this cold weather (yes, you can hate me for calling it cold) will be here for too long. I met a bunch of new people and cou...
