A taste of Thai culture...
Hi Everyone,
I'm just getting ready to go out for the weekend. I thought I would do a quick post to talk about my first authentic Thai cultural experience. My students take a course called Thai Culture. One thing that Thais do it a "Wai Kiu" ceremony, where the students take the time to honour thier teacher. (That's me!) So I sat down in a chair, and my students one by one came up to me and said something nice to me, wai'd me (as seen in pic) and then presented me with flowers. It was really beautiful. The red flowers that I am holding in the pic have these sharp points on them, which is meant to be symbolic for wisdom. This is why they are presented to the teacher. It was really nice to get to participate in that ceremony with my students. And look at them - aren't they cute?
Also, just so everyone knows - I have changed the settings on my blog - so anyone can leave a comment now. But bear in mind that they can be seen by everyone, and emails are still awesome. Keep telling me about your lives.
Love you all.
