Well I arrived at the Mae Ta Co-Op today around noon, and was warmly welcomed by my host "mom" Pi Pui. we went back to her house to drop off my bag before lunch and it turns out I'll be staying in the lovely new house they're building on her family's land. Its literally solid wood from the ground to the ceiling + a steel roof. I tihnk it's purpose will be to serve as a guest house for the few eco tourists that come here.
Speaking of tourists, I didn't think I'd be seeing any other farangs for the next 10 days, but it turns out there are two Americans (an older married couple) a man from Nepal, and a man from Laos all staying in the very same room as me.
Today I'm just working on catching up on my Thai at the Co-Op, re-reading my journal from the Agro Course and reading some Ag articles. Tomorrow I'm going to the farm with Pi Pui's mom and wednesday I'll be going to the Organic Market in Chiang Mai, I believe.
Things are going well, aparently I'm the first ISDSI student to come back here for ICRP, so that's pretty cool. Anyway, I'll be taking lots of pictures and will post them when I get back to Chiang Mai for the second half of my ICRP.
-until then
