What's Happening to Me?
Today my friend Ratanna called me and wanted to come visit. As this would be the first time for her to see my room, I told her to come on over. I didn't realize that I was going to be the lone recipient for a sales pitch on Amway products, especially vitamins.:)
We sat on the floor as she described various vitamins and minerals and how they really help the body. She thinks I should become an Amway sales person when I go back to the US. I didn't promise.:) I did buy something from her, as I can tend to fall for natural products to some degree, so I think she was at least partly satisfied with her visit.
Ummm, I think I did something that is--technically, at least--against the law tonight. Gop came up to bring me supper and to eat with me. Then I helped him with his English homework. Not too long after that, Lak came knocking on my door, and we ended up playing games together.
First, while Gop played on the computer, Lak and I played 4 stars (Connect 4). Then I taught them both how to play Spoon. Then Lak decided to teach me a game. It was some sort of card game with very fast rounds. I still don't completely get it, as he was explaining in Thai, and I didn't follow everything. But I think I got the hang of it in general.
They didn't tell me till after a few rounds that I shouldn't play this game anywhere else because I might get arrested.:) I guess it's some sort of gambling game. So I asked what the big deal is if we aren't playing for money, and they promptly replied that the police would never believe us. Hmmmmm. Now the boys want to come up to my room early on Sunday to play this game before I help Gop study English..... Is this a good idea???
Tomorrow will be a full day. I teach Noy, the neighbor guy, in the morning. In the afternoon I hope to go to The Well and spend some time with the girls there (plus stock up on my dwindling card supply). Then, in the evening, I teach an English class in my room. Maybe my life isn't slowing down quite as much as I thought!
