Day 3 in Thailand.
I am doing pretty well so far! I had such a long plane ride all alone! (17 hours+ 2 other flights). I finally made it to Chiang Mai on January 3rd at 9 in the morning. I then took a tuk tuk (scooter taxi) to my hotel and took a long nap. Starting on Thursday I will be attending a SIT Tesol certification course for 4 weeks. The school is called AUA language center and it is in the heart of Chiang Mai, Thailand. After the certification course I will start looking for a job as an English teacher in Thailand.Last night I met with two other women from the US who will be taking the course. We went to dinner (i ate green curry - delish!) and then we went to the night bazaar. Shopping, shopping, beer, shopping! Today I am looking for a place to live for the month. There are many guest houses to choose from but it is hard to find a nice place for a decent price. It is the "high" season here now so everything costs a little more. However, I am finding my classmates in the same predicament.

Elspeth, I am so proud of you for taking on this adventure. You will learn about Thailand and people there will learn about America by getting to know you. Thanks for doing this blog. Love, dad
