Tuktuks and Turian

Okay back again. Here is a photo of my brother Phet and Father Mr. Winyoo before school and work today. Here is one of the house and after thet of my mother's garden I'll take more photos and put them up soon. So I guess I should tell some stories. Hmm oh being a vegetarian in Thailand. Well that's something my stomach will have to get used to. Here it just means that everything is cooked with the meat but you just push it aside and don't eat that. But that means that all the soups taste like pork and chicken which hasn't been in my stomach in 4 and 1/2 years or so. Everyone has been careful about the spicy food but the meat oh no problem just eat. Two days ago I also ate street food when we were walking around Bangkok to see the palace and the emerald Buddha which I ended up not seeing since for one it cost too much, it also was closing early since it was a holiday and oh yeah my kapris which go down past my knee were still too short. Anyway the surrounding area was beautiful and I went to the museum full of Thai money new and old which was very interesting. I hope to get Back there to see the palace truly just maybe not the food places around it. Suratthani is actually a big city very busy and noisy which is something I'm not used to but I'm sure I will be soon. It is right on the river and my mother said only a short drive to the ocean which I will see soon along with Koh Samui. So much has been happening and in just a short time it's hard to remember everything. I've met a lot of people in these last few days from all over the world now all over Thailand and just yesterday I met people from all over Suratthani. I went to go visit my father's parents and saw many photos of him when he was younger which was fun and I also learned he has a twin brother. Then later at lunch I met his sister and her daughter. His sister teaches English at the school I will be attending which is good and her daughter is a dentist on Koh Samui her son is actually in the States studying at Cornell. Hmm I not sure what else I should write about I'll try to write again tomorrow as it is my first day of school. Oh that happened too. Yesterday I bought my school uniform and today I washed it while some of the shirts go to have my name written on them. Yes my Thai name. My father decided I should be named Pimthong as it means best or original gold and goes with Phet which means diamond and Pimploy which means best gems. But I will be called Pim. Well more after tomorrow.
