Good luck trying to get internet in town:)

I'm out of Bangkok and into my new house in Chaiyaphum province. From the actual city, I am about an 1.5 hours away. It is a rural town but there are some local shops to eat, shop for food, toiletries, etc. I have already made friends with a lady who cooks for me. She calls me "Teacher" :) Before moving in to the house, I stayed with a women named Claire who I met during Media Kids orientation. She lives about 10 mins away and lives with her partner Noy, her niece, Ping and her three dogs: Piglet, Hero and Sticky Rice :) I had a great stay there and helped out with getting mangos from the trees, cleaning, feeding the chickens and digging foundations for the sister's house next store. I go there when I have a free day.

Tiny lizards everywhere!!!!
