barefoot in the library

yep. that's right. no shoes in the buildings here in Thailand- which is actually ironic seeing that feet (the bottoms of feet) are considered to be extremely dirty and rude if shown.
Funny. Maybe if they started wearing their shoes more they wouldn't have such dirty feet? I'll have to propose this idea to the king..I'll let ya know what he says.

So, I slept in the school dormitory last night. I'll be staying there until the end of July and then hopefully moving into my own apartment. MY OWN APARTMENT! IN BANGKOK! We looked at apartments today that are around 5000 baht/mo. (around $152) which includes water, electric, NICE furniture, internet, cable and a refrigerator if you want it).. It's actually nicer than anything I could have afforded on my own in the US, so this isn't much of a sacrifce..it's more of a huge step up the "hey i have a cool apartment" ladder. I must say that I am rather proud of my apartment experiences so far... the loft in downtown Lburg, to my own suite in Bangkok. I'm very blessed.

So, kids Korean church tonight, then off to the markets.
