Whiskers, uncombed

During the weeklong break between terms here at Siam English School, Autumn is teaching an English camp. Emily is teaching an immersion student instead, but couldn't miss out on this project from the "body parts" lesson.

That's right, rainbow paper mustaches.

Appen, appen, appen

Last Friday I went to an English camp all day. It was a nice surprise to learn about it on Thursday, because it gave me a short day followed by a camp day followed by a weekend.

The camp was for a college that TEFL International uses for teaching practice. It took place at HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Herbs Garden, which is a beautiful garden arranged according to the medicinal properties of its plants.

Some of the students taught me a dance and song about fruit, and I learned the Thai chicken dance, and shared "If you're happy and you know it."

I also learned a new method to choose someone from a group (who goes first, or is the leader.) Everyone stands in a circle and puts one hand into the middle, with their thumb facing up, and shakes their hand back and forth until they decide to go palm-up or palm-down. Whoever's hand his facing the opposite direction of everyone else is "it."
