A visitor in the classroom!

Teaching in Thailand is proving really interesting. I'm now half way through the TEFL course and it's turning out to be good fun as well as hard work.  Teaching English as a foreign language when I can't help in any way by translating into Thai is quite challenging, but the children here are generally very polite, respectful and well behaved. They try very hard in our lessons and that's a definite advantage. 

Many schools have an open area on the ground floor where we teach. It's a bit cooler than the classrooms which don't usually have air conditioning, but it also means some unexpected visitors.  A dog wandered in and lay down next to the children during my lesson last week!  No-one paid any attention as it is a common occurrence apparently.  The dog was still around later, so I took a couple of photos.  Another colleague told me that there was a nest above her teaching area and the birds flew back and forth all through her lesson.
