As of yesterday, I only have 10 weeks left in Thailand.� There are only 5 weeks left of classes, and my students (my main source of social interaction) will be gone in 6 weeks.� I'm beginning to feel that time is slipping away!

I decided to make a list of things I want to do before I leave Thailand.� Here's my list:

1) Learn some Thai songs and sing karaoke with my students (it's a very popular thing to do here!)

2) Buy an Isan instrument and learn how to play it (Don't worry..I'm not expecting to become a virtuoso or anything!)

3) Learn how to make som tam

4) Learn a little Thai dancing

5) Try durian

That's my list!� I debated adding "eat an insect" to the list, but decided against it.� Remember that time when an insect flew into my mouth while I was riding my bike and I swallowed it?� Well, I�think it should count as an insect-eating experience.� Besides, I'm sure I've eaten plenty of insects in my food that I'm simply not aware of.� I try not to think about it.
