Initial impressions of Ben's new school are quite good. There are 30 kids in his class but they have three teachers in the classroom so plenty of attention. The teachers in the lower age group classes are almost all women. Ben's teachers all seem very nice although I can't help noticing some of the teachers in the other classes are stunningly attractive while Ben's are not - still I'm a married man so I shouldn't be thinking about that sort of thing.
The traffic situation has settled down and does not seem to be a problem. Ben has also settled down. He doesn't actually want to go to school but he doesn't cry about it. When I went to collect him yesterday he was feverishly crayoning away. He also now does a lovely wai (Thai greeting). This is one of the strengths of Thai schools - they put a lot of effort into producing well-mannered polite little brats.
I played football again yesterday. It was fun. The French guys formed a team with a bunch of Malaysians. They did not get on and the French gallic temperament was on full show. Lots of drama and arm-waving. Apparently the Malaysians were passing to each other when they should have been giving the ball to the French. The French guys collapsed into sulky-huff mode and we soundly beat them.
