Kesorn--the most fabulous Thai teacher ever--(she's the one standing on front of her beautiful garden, which is actually a concrete garage).Kesorn invited us to her house for dinner. Her husband works for the state, hence, the blue uniform. They eat on the ground with a low table. Thais typically eat with communal dishes in the center that everybody takes food from. Kesorn showed us how to make Tom Yum soup or, more appropriately, showed Codie how to make Tom Yum soup. I had the pleasure of hanging with her husband as he surfed satellite television. The highlight was, as he was trying to be an excellent host, we watched 20 minutes of an Indonesian station. After this time, I commented that I didn't know he spoke Indonesian. He had been thinking the whole time that it was in English and was trying to find something I would like. Oh, the joys of being overly polite. You can also see in the photos the King on a calendar. The King's presence is in every room in the house. They love the guy.
