Sarah, this was written on Dec 26, and then there was no WiFi connection until this very morning.
Hi Sarah, Happy Boxing Day !
So, let me tell you the impact that you had on Thailand today.
As you know, Thailand is Buddhist country and Christmas isn’t really
“celebrated” – although the merchandising trend now is to put up Christmas trees with lights, but oddly, the trees don’t get taken down until the end of January. Go figure. So, school is still in session – in fact, today, Saturday, was the very last day.
One of my former students is now a professor at the same institution that I taught at as a Peace Corps volunteer. She is a professor of education, and the class that she has been shepherding for the last 3 1/2 years has its final meeting today before they go out for a year of practice teaching. Her idea was that I should talk to the class about some aspect of education for their last two hour meeting. She was giving the class over to me because I had been her teacher.
