A couple weekends ago, i was able to go on a weekend tiaw with my teacher and her family to Pitsanulork (honestly, i have no idea how they spell it in english :) haha). it was an awesome weekend away to spend time with my teacher, get to meet her relo's - although i didn't understand a whole lot of what was said as they all spoke issaan, get to see other parts of the Thai countryside that i've never seen, plus do crazy things like bushbashing for 4 hours wearing thongs, then climbing up bamboo ladders to get to the top of the rock on the top of the mountain (like Pigeon House mountain near Ulladulla for those who've been there). Was really cool fun. anyway, here are a few pics from the weekened away.
