School

 Right now, Emily and I are at NIVA continuing with the enrollment process.  I am sitting in the boardroom at Emily's new school writing this update as she sits in another room writing the English and Mathematics entrance exams.  However, 5 minutes after arriving, I realized I forgot/lost/left my phone in the taxi!  I have no idea what firm it was or any other identifying characteristics other than it has my phone in it.  The secretary here tried calling but it is on vibrate and of course the driver could not hear it.  Well, she persisted and finally, he answered!  He was back at our condo complex, and he left my phone at the concierge desk!  Thank God, thank Thai and thank the secretary here at NIVA.  Bad day gone good.

We are going to establish a school routine for next week and ongoing.  Emily will take the Niva shuttle to school in the morning (I'm going to walk to school).  At the end of the day, Emmy will walk to my school and do homework etc., and then we will walk home together.  I have shared the route on my Google page...please have a look. 

Pictures to follow.

Beginning to feel settled.  We have a few Thai phrases already: Swaddie-ka (good morning), Come Cume ka (thank you).  For the men in the crowd, you replace "ka" with "kop".
