HOST FAMILY

I know all of you have been anticipating the big move to my host family so here are the deets...
We woke up this morning, moved out of our hotel and went to the University. We had individual tables that we sat at waiting for our host families to arrive. Mine was the last family. A small adorable girl came up to me and said "hello sarah my name is noel, how are you?". Her dad later told me that she is learning from a book and they use the name sarah in it, haha. We then talked and had tea for a while. I am staying with one of the professors at the university which makes transportaion to school a breeze. He taught us Thai earlier last week but he actually teaches french. Marit's family is his brother and he lives next door to my family. It seems like they move back and forth quite a bit so that makes a perfect living situation.
I don't have internet at my family, but Marit does. I have a TV in my room for movies, Mairt doesn't. It works well though because we can share...
There are two young girls in my family. One is seven named Noel the other is two and has a chineese name. They are so adorable and they love Marit and I already. They call us pee Aub-ee and pee Mal-ee for our names because they are more Thai. Pee means older than you and so anyone older you call pee unless they are teachers.
My host mom knows a little english but not too much. Marit's family doesn't know that much English but I think it will be good for us to learn more Thai. We already went to the mall to have pizza and ice cream for a welcome lunch which was the most I have eaten thus far in Thailand. It was very american but very good. We can walk to the Lotus mall from our houses and to the flower market which is incredible and beautiful! I am so happy about this living situation!
Ok well I am sure there will be more to come about this so continue to check back.
