two tiny students who must've been 7th graders lugged three huge hula hoops into the office this morning. i have no idea why (as per usual in this country). a couple hours later, i walked down the hall to the office and saw three of the teachers (suriya, preeda, and kanchana, who are also i think the three oldest women in the office, but i'm bad at judging asian ages so i could be wrong) hula hooping at the end of the hall. suriya was working it--hands on her head, spinning those hips like she could go for days. you go, 60-something-year-old grandma.
the whole office was intrigued by the hula hoops.
"nicki, can you do it?"
"of course."
so they handed me the hula hoop and i showed'em how it's done cuz i'm a hula hooping BALLER.* "nicki, teach us!" i tried to teach'em how, but i don't think anyone learned. kanchana was terrible--no shakes in those hips. rob came over later and played with the hula hoops. hula hoops in the office=upgrade.
we have tomorrow off--thailand celebrates memorial day, too!**--so a bunch of us are headed to koh samet for the weekend.
also, i only had one class today cuz the 12th graders are doing some buddhist camp thing.
*actually, i'm not that good. i just have the ability to keep it going for a long time. (that's what he said.)
**jokes. it's a buddhist holiday..."visakha bucha day," my calendar tells me.
