Things we like about living in Thailand (#9)
Our kind neighbors
We've been the recipients of a number of gifts recently - mostly delicious food. We have a couple of neighbors in particular who seem to be looking out for us. This is a dish that we received today - it's cocunut syrup with ice and green things made from tapioca flour and mung balls (according to a cookbook that we have). This is a popular Thai dessert and one that we're learning to enjoy.
This lady lives a couple of houses down the street from us and she goes walking every evening. The girls love her because she teases and chases them. When Claire sees her she runs to jump on her bike and then they ride/walk to the end of the street together. Tonight I asked Claire what they had talked about and she said "She talked in Thai and I didn't say anything."
