I have two new students staying with me for a few weeks. From Thailand. Both girls are 14, and luckily their English is pretty reasonable. While it is a bit of work having people, especially young people you have to cook & clean for…it is nice work.
They are keen to see a kiwi…this is pretty close for now.The girls were introduced to ‘Barry’.We had a picnic lunch watching grown men race their remote control boats and duck swim peacefully by.This really made me laugh. The girls both taking selfies of themselves in the water.
Last night the girls made me their favourite meal. Do NOT ask me to spell it. I have no clue, but it tasted pretty good.
It had prawns…so it was always going to please me.

So nice to have visitors. How long are they staying with you?
Until the 28th of this month. it is nice. I really enjoy having students every now and then. I loved having the house full of noise and fun when the kids were still here and I do miss that. Young people are such fun, and I love the way they look at life. The fur babies think it is cool as well. More attention.
It’s a lovely thing to do where everyone gains from the experience. I only tried having a student once, a young French girl and I loved it but I don’t have space now. these girls look great fun 🙂
