Sabai

Sabai -- A Thai word to exemplify peace, tranquility or relaxing.
It can also mean different when used in conversation (e.g.)

A: Sabai dee ru?   (How are you? [informal])
B: Sabai dee.  (I'm fine)

This past weekend, some of the volunteers got together for a lunch with the program director, former country coordinators, and the founder of LE Thailand. It was a good chance to see each other again since the last time we had met was at our July 4th party. We all lamented on the fact that our teaching ends within the next week, among other things (traveling, lack of exercise in Thailand, abundance of weight gain but pure happiness and so on). It’s been a great run while we’ve been here. I’m leaving this post a bit short and more image heavy because I should be getting sleep and journaling.





Me and some the other volunteers. It's really great when a candid is actually a candid.

Most of the Squad. We came over when Supa (former Country coordinator) was hosting some Monks. After they had their meal, they blessed each of the volunteers. Amazing experience.
but there was so much more food. I was a took a HQ pic but this will do.

Pakpol!! He's Supa's son and former LE volunteer and program coordinator. He now runs his own English Language center here in Thailand. It's called the English Exchange.

Sidenote: It just rained and there are all these flies over the house and rooms? They’re completely harmless but it’s incredibly interesting. My host mom tried to let me touch them but I screamed at the fact that these bugs had 3 sets of wings. They’re the bugs that we fry and eat. Can’t find the English word.

until  then,
Sade
