California Dreamin'

That's where I'm from, California. Great state, as long as you have a lot of money, because nothing is cheap. We will be going back to the U.S. for 3 months or so, from April 8th to August 2nd. It is always fun to go home, and then good to come back here to Thailand. We miss family and friends and it is always great to see everyone we can. Coming "home" is always a strange experience, though. Maybe this time it won't feel so odd, since we won't be gone over a year. There are always things that jarr me, like people yelling rudely to each other. It is a really big deal when that happens here in Thailand, and everyone gets upset. People are really attune to each other here in Thailand and make great efforts to make the other person feel happy and comfortable. I love that about Thailand.
