I’ve been here a week and I’m not sure whether I’m halfway through the work or not. Today was similar to yesterday, sunny and I spent the entire day in my office. An engineer (female) from the Bangkok office is coming up tomorrow to help with the data collection and so forth. I met the driver who bought me here at the canteen tonight. He was about to head back to Bangkok arriving about 10pm I’d guess He will then leave again at 7 bringing up the engineer.
As I was leaving the office this evening, I saw a herd of about 40 or 50 Brahmin cattle heading towards the office area. There is a trackm a few metres wide that runs between our area and the rice paddies. Of course, by the time we got our of the compound they had filled the road so it was a slow journey till they turned of a km or so later. There were quite a number of calves in the herd.
I decided I should be eating more of the Thai, rather than the western choices, on the menu. Tonight was interesting. They had a selection of ingredients which they cooked in the hot (temperature) soup. Noodles, green vegetables, bean sprouts and chopped pork were the main options. When they were done, they spooned some of the broth over. There was also a chicken in source as well.
