So we made it through our first week of school. And as such, Jasmine I figured that a nice reward is in store. So off we go to Koh Samet, which is an island close to Pattaya. We figure that if we leave school by four, we could be on the island, on the beach, drink in hand, having a massage by about six o'clock. Apparently there are beautiful beaches on the island, which I am excited about because I haven't been in the ocean yet since we got here. And the best part is that our friends Kari and Ed are joining us. Kari taught at this school two years ago, and Ed (her boyfriend) was teaching in Bangkok at the time. They are now both teaching in Kuwait, but are here in Thailand vacationing. Should be amazing.
