Lots of cameras....

So... it seems that actually there are a lot of toy cameras around Bangkok. MBK has quite a lot, I actually got of the skytrain to fall over a tiny little shop called 'Holga'...

*ahem*

Sells cheap film, so got a few rolls... to put in this baby...

which I just bought. It's a Recesky TLR, and I completely geeked out and made it from a kit, using only a pair of tweezers... as I had no small screwdriver to hand!

So now I get to take some cool pictures to document my trip with. Gonna pop out to Benjasari Park in a minute and take a test roll. I am excited!

The instructions were in English luckily..!

Hopefully that will take my mind off the fact that my wisdom tooth on the bottom right is pushing and pushing :( talk about painful! The last time this happened it was about a year ago. The whole right side of my jaw feels like it's swollen. Moan moan moan.

I've hardly written about teaching at all since I've started this blog. I haven't really started yet though, I've just been teaching 3 and 4 year olds at a summer camp, so that's only in the morning. It's quite challenging.... bless them, I feel like they can hardly speak/write their own language nevermind English. But I'm getting there, the last week has been better than the first. Looking forward to properly developing my teaching style over the next year here!

I've met quite a few of the new teachers over the past couple of weeks, and they all seem really nice. A lot of them have gone off travelling to various islands as they don't start til tomorrow. I've also made some other various friends, so I am meeting up with a couple to go to the food market on soi 38 a bit later. Love soi 38! Som tam and seafood and curries and dim sum and mango and sticky rice and shakes... mmmmmm

Favourite food so far = this:

 Khao mun gai and som tam... I feel slightly unadventurous!
