Yahoo!  I am slowly figuring this blog out.  This dinosaur can learn new tricks!  Ok  A little about my self–  I am a Canadian teacher in Udon Thani.  I am teaching English (or trying to!!)   I am lucky to teach at a pretty good school (for Thailand)  I teach about 25 classes a week with  between 20 and 55 students per class!!!  By and large the students are pretty good–they listen some of the time,  enjoy my jokes and repeat everything I say!  They are generally polite and well behaved.They can drive you over the edge sometime just like any teenager.  Ok Now on to the photography aspect— here its a bit of a challenge to keep your hobby going.  English is a secong language here and  English magazines  cost an  arm and a leg,   so you go to the internet and you find lots to look at.  One site I like is www.whatthe duck.net   Its a cartoon humor site about photography.  Usually when things go haywire (as it can happen here!!)  you need a bit of humor.  When my day has gone badly I know there is somewhere  where its a bit worse.
