English Learning


This is Darumon from Nong Tao, she is 9 years old. As you can see she has a problem with her eye. Unfortuanatly the doctor sais it isn't cataract because the white cloude is not only in the black part of the eye.
When we went to Fang hospital (with Aer and Pui) we heared that there was a waiting time of 3 hours! There was only one doctor and at least 60 patients waiting. I had a solution, I told Aer and Pui to wait and I went with Darumon to the ER room on the other side. There were 5 or 6 doctors doing nothing so I just walked in with the girl on the hand and asked them what they thought was wrong with the eye. There was a nurse all confused but I just put the girl in front of the doctor without giving them a choice. They told us to go to Chiang Mai what we already expected. But were really nice. We need an eye specialist.
Aer and Pui were laughing and I said that being a falang can have it's positive aspects as well! After being stuffed around with the immigration and so on, this is ok.
Tomorrow we go with Aer and the girl to Chiang Mai. Jilly has put us on a list in her hospital to see an eye specialist who will be there only one morning a week. So we will see. Always good to have good old Jilly there! Most helpfull.

Mondays and Tuesdays are set aside for English learning on the computer. Unfortunately 3 more pc's broke down...

















The boys are having lunch. They showed me a nice dish with raw meat... jak,, is most been in the sun in their food container for quite some hours....
I was happy to eat my own lunch.











Ok, got to run,,, of to Moung Choum (pui's school) for the XO project. Then to Nong Tao to bring Nappa some food and supplies, poor lady had 3 operations for kidney stones and struggles to work enough to get by.
Have a good day!

jipke en bennie,
helaas viel net de verbinding weg! jullie reden te diep in de bergen van het mooie noord thailand! (ja dat kan ik nu zeggen, ken het nu ook! voelt wel beetje raar hoor ;))
je vertelde wel nog dat je in het ziekenhuis van jilly geweest was met het meisje, maar hoe t afgelopen is..? Wel goed dat je farang status je af en toe goed kan helpen! Maak er maar goed gebruik van voor dit soort dingen!!
Hoe gaat t met jullie? Druk allemaal geloof ik! Als je weer naar Pui of Jilly gaat, doe maar de groeten van mij! (als ze nog weet wie ik ben). En hoe gaat het bij Richies? Joost en ik hebben vrijdag in Thai restaurant Ko Chang in Westerstraat gegeten! We kregen zo'n heimwee naar Richies en al die lieve mensen daar!Hebben het de hele avond over Thailand gehad en over Po en Som Diau... mmmmm was heerlijke tijd bij jullie!! Miss you both!! lieverds tot snel!!
