Brett Robert Godber

Brett loves how loving and appreciative his English students are in Thailand

 

 

 

 

 

It feels really good when you try your best in Thailand because the people actually take notice of it and show you the true best things about living in Thailand that cannot be described in words. Never before have I felt so appreciated and loved than when I walk into a classroom and get shouts of excitement and class wide hugs.

The friendly people. Today I was carrying 10 sets of 18 text books and struggling on my walk from home to the school when one of the teachers from my school saw me barely leaving my apartment, got off the motorcycle taxi, ran over, took half of the text books and helped me carry them to my class! So generous and amazing!

I have only been here for a week and although the adjustment is huge, I loved the day spent at a temple, receiving a blessing from a Monk, the pineapple farm, feeding the ele’s at the rehab centre and the art market. Our beach barbeque was great fun and just floating in the sea made me feel like I was home. I know I will enjoy learning to speak Thai. It is challenging but so far worth every minute!

Being 5 minutes late and that’s okay because everyone else is actually 15 minutes late
