The Rotary meeting was fun. We exchanged flags and I met two RYE (Rotary Youth Exchange) student who are just finishing up their year in Thailand. We all sat at a U-shaped table and everyone had microphones that they turned on when it came time to speak. Those who weren't speaking into the microphone were carrying on their own conversations, whether it be with the person next to them, across the table, or on their cell phone- obviously very informal, as Thai gatherings seem to be.



Well, I'm off to a temple in the forest and will write again ASAP...
