Mango Rains

March 21, 2009 · 3 Comments

Okay, it seems I jumped the gun yesterday . . .  it isn’t the rainy season yet.  James told me this soon after I posted yesterday, and it was confirmed when I asked a friend of ours who has been living in SE asia for 30 years. He said in Thailand, they call this “the mango rains” – something about the mango trees needing a little rain at this time of year. So during February and March, it might rain occaisionally, but it’s not really the rainy season.  How silly of me! I guess I’m still learning since I’ve only been here for the start of 1 rainy season!

Taking a Class

July 18, 2008 · Leave a Comment

This week I attended a training for English teachers.  That’s why I haven’t posted in a long time!  It was a good class and fun too.  I was the only non-Lao student, so that was a new (and good) experience!  It was one week intensive course, so I’m done now and should be back to cooking and posting soon!
