A few days ago teacher came by the house and was ringing the doorbell a million times and yelling my name into the open window. When I got downstairs he was all amped to see me because i hadn't seen him in a few days. Then we sat outside and smoked cigarettes waiting for his friend Noy to come and get us. Then he had to convince Thong to let me go with him to some small village called Ban Duean(?), We walked around and met some of the people teacher worked with when he lived there for 11 years, then went back to his brothers house and sat on the floor drinking brandy and eating chicken, beef and mushrooms. They let me know that you had to go through the forest for about a day and a half to collect just a plate full of those mushrooms. They were really good. After that we went back and met up with Thong at the office and he had a bunch of work to do so we just went and got some more food at this restaurant that i went to during my first week here. I found out that Noy, the guy that was driving us the whole time, was the owner of the place and he was super sweet. He was telling teacher to tell me that if I was in Thabo and I had the opportunity I should come by the restaurant and he would take care of me. He actually said he would take care of everything he could except....(then he pointed to a group of gals outside the karaoke place next door and started cracking up, sweet).
Last night I went to a show with Thong and some of his friends. It was actually pretty fun, there were a lot of young people from Thabo dancing and going nuts and I was at a table in the back with 9 sweet old guys drinking whiskey and eating some snacks they kept bringing out. We stayed out until 3:30 in the morning and by the end of the night I was pretty ready to crash.
