It's Been Two Weeks

It's been two weeks and I havn't had culture shock.  I know it may take a lot longer but I am really enjoying my stay.  Lots of uncomfortable situations with loads of new people who I can't really communicate with.  Visited a few churchs.  Found one that I will go to again next week.  It's a Thai church.  I met lots of cool people and plus all the kids that live at the orphanage that I will be working at go there.  It's a pretty straight up place.  It felt good.   Hopefully this week I will be able to start language school so I can get ahead of things around here.  I got a couple of what I would call new friends who are Christian.  Both German.  Our weekend nights consist of watching Eroupean soccer and drinking Beer Chaing.  A couple of stand up lads.  Looking at places here and there trying to find a place to settled down in.  I don't really want to settel down anywhere.  But a need for a place to call home for a short while can't hurt.  It looks like May 14 will be the start day at the oprhanage.  I really can't wait.  Some of the kids remembered me at church from when I was here last year.  Everyday has been a learning experiance.  I am truly learning so much about God, myself and the world.  It's fun, exciting, hard, tiring, boring, laphable, hot, and everything that I didn't and did expect.  It's going to be a good story if anything.

Hey Sean! Yeah, culture shock takes awhile to set in. Your still in the honeymoon phase. Enjoy it. When it does come, it won't and will be what you think. Some things will begin to annoy you a bit more than ussual- especially with the Thai system of doing things, what you think are personality conflicts with Thai individuals may well also result, feeling lost, wanting to only hang out with other farang, losing motivation, wanting to confront people more and more...are all signs of it hitting. But it comes and goes. It's not really a big deal unless you take yourself seriously. I've seen some people become reclusive or even bitter towards Thais and Thai culture. A pervasive sense of not caring what you do or who you offend often manifests. But then you confront those feelings...let them come, talk about them, and learn to accept things. The honeymoon period ussually lasts about 1-3 months.
By the way, I really like this website. I have some phone numbers for you if you want. There's a girl named Jenny and a guy named Greg who I think you'd get along with really well. Go ahead and email me so that I have your email address. I'll send you the numbers. Did you get a chance to eat at "Amazing Sandwich" yet? There's two in Chiang Mai. One is right accross from Gat soon gaaw facing the street. The best sandwiches you'll eat in Thailand bro. Also check out the cultural center just behind ( inside or to the side) of Central gat soon gaw also. They have Thai dances there and serve up some really good "kao saui" (northern thai noodles)
I'll be in Bkk in just 5 weeks man!
YOu gotta send me your mobile phone number too ( when you get one) so I can call and we can hook up.

Hey Sean it is Jenny. Your website is awesome so far and this was a really good idea in order for you to stay in contact with everyone. Hey the poems that were on the main page, actually they were links from the main page, are thoses yours or are they favorite ones of yours written by someone else. Those are great! I am really excited for you Sean and i hope you keep meeting new people in whom you become great friends with. That is cool too that you have not experienced culture shock. You are a pretty flexible guy and so I hope that you continue to flex into that person you were called to be over there. I I just got back from Catalina. I friend of mine and myself went over there for a few days and hiked pretty much the whole island. A lot of walking I tell you but well worth it. Saw some amazing things but the cool part about it was that we did not come into contact with hardly anyone, that is until we got into Avalon and Twin Harbors. The two main cities there, but other than that, it was rad being in an environment that was so quiet. He. I was down in San Diego about a week ago and saw Ryan as well. We surfed Wind in Sea. It was really cool spending time with him because it had been awhile since the last time. I am sure he misses you a lot because i know he really enjoyed living with you. WEll I am pumped that you have this website up and it is going to be cool hearing about all that is going on over there. Talk to you soon Jenny
