We made a new friend today. First some background. About 10 years ago, Derrick's cousin, Valerie, sponsored a Thai high school student named Jib for a year. They became fast friends and Jib returned to the US several times. She has now graduated from college and teaches yoga here in Bangkok. Before we left Derrick and Val communicated and we got her email address. Long story short, we met for lunch today. What a delightful young woman!! Her English is perfect and we were able to ask her many questions (and got great answers!). We went to a restaurant called Faces that has 4 different ethnic areas - Thai, Indian, Chinese and maybe Japanese? We went to the Thai section, so I am unclear as to what the others were. It was very fun and we are looking forward to spending Friday with Jib on another excursion to an island in the river not far from here.
