Our time in Bangkok just started and is nearly done, but as always, the Father knew what we needed and when.
We've had a fabulous time connecting with Santosh - a friend from Orange that is working here this year. We joined him in one of the local slums on Thursday where he and a few others have started to teach English in order to build relationships. It's really encouraging to be reminded of all the simple ways to connect with communities - especially children, they are so ready for relationship all around the world.
Yesterday we took the morning to see Thailand - all of it, actually. There's a place called 'Ancient City' just outside of Bangkok. It's a park that's shaped like Thailand and has replicas of all the most famous sites in Thailand - not the original sizes, but not miniatures either. It sounds cheesy, but it's REALLY well done. Think Disney's California Adventure without rides, crowds or salespeople. The man who built this place really wanted to preserve authentic Thai history, and the replicas are pretty amazing, so it was a sweet way to see Thailand as we couldn't have otherwise seen it.
This morning J & Santosh played basketball and now we're headed for some famous Thai massage therapy to allow those muscles to keep travelling :), and tonight we fly out to the Philippines.
