A couple notes about lunch today, most of the fac/staff are on a meditation retreat right now, there are only 4 of us on campus. This is chicken pad thai (pad thai gai) I picked up (gin ti baan -- eat at home; there's a different way to say "to go" but I'm not exactly sure what it is, it kind of sounds like the word "cyclone") at the girls dorm. This coffee is from the girls dorm too, as far as I can tell when you order "coffee" here, it's assumed to be iced and with lots of sugar and sweetened condensed milk. I like it, but it is pretty sweet.
Unfortunately, a couple minutes after I started eating my kindle told me it was low on battery and died. No reading with lunch today, so here I am! By the way, the pad thai was 35 baht ($1.12) and the coffee was 8 baht ($0.26). Oh, and that little packet has chili flakes (I use the whole packet!) and sugar. Sugar is always a condiment at tables here, and a lot of people put sugar all over their food. I don't.
