Thailand, Take Two: Teacher's Edition. August 16, 2010. Oh, hi, blogit’s been awhile. So, it’s been about a month and a half since my last update. Yikes. Officially, I will say that the past six weeks have been insanely jam-packed and I’ve just been too busy. I apologize in advance for any and all Mississippi bayou dialect that I am unable to suppress during this update I just downloaded. Tammy and the Doctor. We all know I wasn’t just in Phnom Penh soaking up the sites. That’s right; I’m here ...Sorry, ...

A Post About My Posts | Thailand, Take Two: Teacher's Edition
https://gloowhyviachiangmai.wordpress.com/2010/09/19/a-post-about-my-posts
Thailand, Take Two: Teacher's Edition. September 19, 2010. A Post About My Posts. While I’ve (slowly) attempted to explain my role as an educator for migrant workers, I felt it was important to first illustrate their social situation and to provide an understanding of their former system of education. As you’ve now read, my students have left Burma for a number of reasons, and their range of proficiency, capability and ambition is vastly varied. Most (90%) at MLC are Shan (a Tai ethnic group). I have...

Bike Troubles and Fireflies | Thailand, Take Two: Teacher's Edition
https://gloowhyviachiangmai.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/bike-troubles-and-fireflies
Thailand, Take Two: Teacher's Edition. May 21, 2012. Bike Troubles and Fireflies. I learned a new word today: ห งห อย (. 8211; firefly. http:/ www.thai-language.com/id/137740. When I was quizzed on it a few minutes later, I was nervous to respond – I knew that one wrong slip-of-the-tone would result in embarrassing myself;. With a falling tone, was the second half of firefly, but with a rising tone, I was saying oyster – slang for vagina. http:/ www.thai-language.com/id/133296. So tricky you are, Thai.

About Me | Thailand, Take Two: Teacher's Edition
https://gloowhyviachiangmai.wordpress.com/about-me
Thailand, Take Two: Teacher's Edition. Glad I managed to pull that off. For the next two years, I will be living and working in Chiang Mai, Thailand, supporting the Burmese migrant community that makes up the lowest tier of Thai society. More information about my post can be found here: http:/ www.viaprograms.org/index.php? I will be missing my family and friends very much, and hope to make them feel closer to me while I’m out on my own by sharing my experiences here. Looking forward to it! All my love,.

Things I’ve done BESIDES teaching recently… | Thailand, Take Two: Teacher's Edition
https://gloowhyviachiangmai.wordpress.com/2010/10/11/things-i’ve-done-besides-teaching-recently
Thailand, Take Two: Teacher's Edition. October 11, 2010. Things I’ve done BESIDES teaching recently…. I picked up some beautiful fabric which I’ll use for.who knowsone day! Right now, they are adorning our painfully sallow walls. Used the commercial sewing machines in the tailoring workshop at my school. Those puppies move quickly! Now that I’ve had my first taste, I can’t wait to start asking the tailoring teacher to help me improve my construction skills. Visited the Chiang Mai Art Center for World Ani...

Thailand, Take Two: Teacher's Edition. July 2, 2010. That’s Khmer for h-e-l-l-o! For one, no song-taows the red pick-up trucks which act as Chiang Mai’s main source of transportation. There are, however, still a surplus of tuk-tuks and how I’ve missed them! Lucky find considering VIA has yet to perfect its visa-extending methods for its Thai volunteers (the guy whose post I’m taking over Fed-Exed his home to get another one-year visa, while my program director shelled out $850 to extend hers). Cambodia&#...

Let Me Be *Your* Teacher, Too! | Thailand, Take Two: Teacher's Edition
https://gloowhyviachiangmai.wordpress.com/2010/08/25/let-me-be-your-teacher-too
Thailand, Take Two: Teacher's Edition. August 25, 2010. Let Me Be *Your* Teacher, Too! There were a lot of questions for me as I was leaving home. If you’re going to Thailand, why aren’t you teaching English to Thais? Why is there a significant population of Burmese people living in Chiang Mai? What is happening in Burma that is causing them to leave? Why would they need to know English? Only recently has the registration included protection for the workers’ families a huge step forward (if, of course, t...
