Tuesday is thai day and the maid comes
Tuesday i go to thai class.
my thai is terrible - i can read it a bit and write it, but i don't know what most of the words mean.
i arranged to have my thai classes on tuesdays and fridays, 'cos that's the day our maid comes. Yes - we have a maid - hahahaha!
she cleans, does the washing and ironing. i put on a t-shirt the other day and it had been ironed - felt so good!
our first maid was terrible - you could tell she didn't want to be a maid, and so she cleaned in a half-hearted way. when she quit, we got a new maid, about 18, who is studying accounting at night. she is so good - hence the ironed t-shirts.
but i never realised how invasive it can be having a maid in the house. when the maid is walking around cleaning stuff, and i'm just sitting watching HBO or ESPN, or lying in my hammock reading, or all the vital stuff i normally do, i feel kinda guilty at my own bourgesoisesse (spell?).
so i go to thai class in the afternoons when the maid visits.
i don't study much - but i guess i'm slowly getting better - need to practice more, but my antisocial lifestyle prohibits me from actually talking to people, so my improval is pretty slow. i can tell a taxi driver where to go, and i'm getting pretty good at haggling, but that's about it...
oh well, can't complain, at least we have a maid, and those ironed t-shirts feel good!
