Finally managed to get internet long enough to write this! Stick 25 Western kids in a place with limited wifi at best and there will be some issues..
So far Thailand has been a great food experience. I've had noodles and curry and fried rice. All delicious. People here are so welcoming, always excited to help you out and be apart of your life and journey in the country.
Truthfully, Thailand looks like other tropical places I've been to. It's quite a smorgasbord of Hawaii-esque jungle, Texas dirt roads and pickup trucks, and sweaty Caribbean weather.
Maybe Texas has well prepared me but I haven't really found it that hot. It's sweaty, that's true, but it isn't Houston sweaty. I think we've been fortunate though. The monsoons are to start soon, storm clouds are approaching!

Dessert at one of the schools we visited. The soup thing is coconut milk with tapioca pearls and taro and 'bean jellies'. The juice is a tea made from a flower with added sugar.
