All Thai'd Up....

After 22 hours of travel I was ecstatic to see a Thai woman holding a sign that read "American School of Bangkok Jana Reed". She spoke no English so all we said to each other was hi, how are you and my name is....we smiled at each other alot and waited for the driver. I was rushed, and I do mean rushed, to the Saint James Hotel. After listening to very poor English and speaking even worse Thai, I walked to a 7 Eleven and purchased a phone card that I realized didn't work from the hotel....Sorry I can't call but I'm safe and am feeling somewhat rested after the night's sleep.

I met two women who are also working at my school. We had omlets made for us at our semi-posh hotel and they brought me to the internet cafe I'm writing you all from. We are going to go for a ride on the sky train and check out the river. They have been here for a week so they know the ropes and are happy to help get me aquainted. I will look for a telephone that works with my calling card and call Rob as soon as possible.

Sally the land lady for our apartment is supposed to meet me at my hotel this afternoon and get me set up with keys and everything. If that doesn't work out the school booked my hotel room until the 3rd so I have an excellent backup plan.

So far Bangkok is hot and humid with street vendors, palm trees and short people who seem happy to interpret my sign language.

I am very excited to see what Bangkok has in store for me!!

Lah Kron Kah,
