A job....

Well, it turned out is was a lot less easy for Kyaw Kyaw to get a new Thai visa since he had had 2 extensions in Chiang Mai. Then we encountered Christy while in Mandalay and again in Bagan. She was teaching at an international school in Yangon for the summer. Sandra had seen the job ad already online but the start of that summer school was too early for them to return to Burma. But here the opportunity presented itself again. Christy wasn't staying since she had plans to go back to Canada and study again. So, Sandra met the principal. They wanted her to do a demo class. She did a demo class. They wanted her to do a second demo class but now a little longer and with the books that were used during the year. She did. And had loads of fun. So had the kids. The principal took his time after that. At least 3 days! But eventually she got the news she got the job. So we'll all be staying in Yangon for the next many months... It'll be a new experience for sure. teaching 3rd graders. I'm sure i'll be posting loads of great stories about that soon. That is, if i can access my blog. It hasn't been easy lately in Burma...

Anyway, Sandra & i went to Bangkok., Kyaw Kyaw and Frans stayed in Yangon. We now have a business visa (valid for the whole of 10 weeks!!! so frequent flights back to BKK just to get a new one). The we went to Chiang Mai. Sandra finished her Foundation Thai massage training. We picked up the stuff we had left there as well. Today we spent most of our time trying to repack and redistribute. We even invested in some new carrying gear.

I was thinking about writing a long update but i'm in Khao San Rd and everywhere there is music blaring and just behind me the tv is showing a movie on the loudest volume possible. I'll take my chances back in Yangon.....
