A Post From Mom

I don't know where to start, because we have done so much already. In the last two days we have covered alot of ground. The flight were fantastic. I felt safe, although I probably shouldn't have worn jeans. We arrived safe and sound even though it was a very long journey. Some of the highlights so far are as follows:
1) Our first meal on the ocean with Scott and Jasmine. They took us to a place called "The Lighthouse" which was in Pattaya.
2) Making a big perogy dinner for 15 people for some of Scott and Jasmine friends. Most of them (from England) have never tasted a perogy before, and they didn't know what they were. By the end, everyone knew, and there wasn't much left.
3) International Day at the school. This was the best way to see Scott and Jasmine's school. We saw their classrooms, and then enjoyed a day of festivities much like Saskatoon's folkfest. The Canadians sang "The Good Ol' Hockey Game" in the program. It was fantastic.
4) Went to Bangkok for a few days. Went shopping on Khao San Road and enjoyed the markets. We toured the Kings Palace. You cannot go into the palace unless you have long pants. I was the only one who had proper attire. I was stuck watching some tourists drop their backpacks and change into their pants right in front of me in public. I have never seen so many different kind of gotch in my life, and in front of a Kings palace none the less.
5) Went to the Baiyoke Tower (28th tallest building in the world) and enjoyed a wonderful supper and a panoramic view of Bangkok.
6) Koh Chang....still enjoying this....so will post more later......
