Thai Time

Invitation to lunch: 

• Please come to lunch at 11:30.
  

I dress casually, t-shirt and jeans.  It's saturday!

• I arrive at noon.
  

School teachers are in catering mode. Just setting up.
Nothing to eat or drink is in sight.
A trip to the nearest Ma and Pa store. Sangsom and coke. Hey it's saturday!

• Promptly at 2 p.m. luncheon guests arrive. 

I took a taste of a salad with ginger. 10 star fire engine Thai chili. 
I had to drink a lot... Sangsom and coke. Hey it's saturday!

There were other less spicy meals on the table.
Conversation was enlightening. Some things to consider about students learning English.
Identical to my own experience with the Thai language.
