The past two days have been filled with mostly school work, meetings, and finalizing the plan for our project. Monday we went to Chiang Mai University and met Dr. Piya and some of the other lecturers. In Thailand the use American words for the schooling process but use them differently than we do. For example the Occupational Therapy Department is under the Faculty of Associated Medicine. Where as in the US we use faculty to refer to the professors of a particular department. Everyone was very nice and welcoming! We didn't get to meet many students or all of the lecturers because it is still school holidays. They begin a new school year on June 6th.
I have also officially found a place to live here for the remain two months. It is in an apartment closer to the university and closer into the city. I move into my apartment on June 1st. I am staying in my current location (a guest house) until Saturday and then I will stay with Joy for three nights before I move into my own apartment. Joy and I apartments are in the same building. It has internet, its own bathroom, a balcony with a view of the mountains, a small desk, a king sized bed, over head fan, and the option to use the air conditioner. I'm a little sad to leave the guest house here but happy to be in the same place for two months.
It sprinkled for the first time today. It was nice because it wasn't as hot as it has been. According to some of the professors at CMU, it is usually cooler in rainy season than it is now. So bring on the rain!
Here are some of the pictures I have taken of the mountain so far. Its hard to get a good pictures without all the power lines being in the way.
