Hello almost everybody I know,
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope all of you are thankful for how God has blessed our lives.
Some of you may not have heard from me in a while. I've been in Thailand since May. I teach English at an elementary school. My blog site is: http://stevencross.blogspot.com
These holidays are sneaking up on us. It really doesn't feel like Thanksgiving over here. I'm not able to see family or old friends; the weather is still hot; and I'm not getting a vacation. But I'm going to have a Thanksgiving dinner with some friends at a BBQ restaurant. It's going to be a traditional meal. We'll eat lots of turkey and stuffing.
I went on another trip. I saw an elephant talent show in Surin. It's in NE Thailand. The elephants were amazing! They were trained to dance, play basketball, run relay races, and even twirl hula hoops around their trunks. I'll write more details later and, of course, post pictures on my website. I'm sorry. I haven't written as often as I would like too. I've been busier at school, and that is where I usually get on the Internet.
I visited a Thai high school class yesterday. I was impressed with how well some kids knew English. They were better behaved than elementary school kids. It was funny and surprising how much sarcasm they had. My friend Teacher Andrew told the class to say thank you to me for my visit. They did. Then he said, "Now, tell me what a wonderful teacher I am." In response, the class started coughing.
I'm going to visit another class and see what I think. I may decide to teach there next year. It would be tough to adjust to it. I know I would have to prepare a lot for each class, and the hours and hours of grading would stink too. It would be tough, but I think it would be rewarding. I haven't made up my mind yet.
I love y'all,
Steven
P.S. I'll write more about Hong Kong on my blog soon.
