Wow!!!!!!!!! Another action-packed day in Thailand. Kim here. We started by going to a Hair salon where I had the opportunity to cut the owner's hair. I was then able to watch another stylist cut a client's (Arit - a member of the Rotary) hair. It was very fascinating. The price of their equipment is incredibly less expensive than in Canada. I hope to order some scissors to take home.
Lee helped a chef cook our lunch. He had fun preparing the meal and learning the Thai cooking techniques. The meal was scrumptuous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best we have had.
We also did our second GSE presentation today. The Rotary club made up a special banner for us that was posted on the window. The group was extremely nice to us. The District Director of Sawee was our guest. He has invited us to plant mangrove trees in order to preserve the sea life. Apparently what we plant tomorrow will provide life for many sea animals in about 5 years. How exciting to be a part of such an important project.
Our host families have been most hospitable once again. Everyone here is so friendly. It will be difficult to leave.
We went to the Chumphon Cabana Resort this afternoon. They have a totally self contained resort that is run by the environment around them. They grow their own food, purify their water and even destroy bad bacteria. It was incredible to see how much we can do to save our environment. After our tour, it was beach time. What a lovely way to spend our day.
Tonight we experienced cutting our own crab in half in order to eat it. The Thai culture is so fun. We are learning a lot.
Well, I will sign off now. Thanks for taking the time to read our blog. Until next time.....Sawadee ka. (Good bye!)

Glad you are having a great trip.
Was it MANGROVE trees you planted, part of a mangrove 'swamp'? Not MANGO trees which produce the fruit?
Hi Kim:
It's good to see that You were able to make it to a Salon and Lee helping out the Chef over there.
How is their technique in cutting hair different than what You do since You found it fascinating ?
It's good to see that Your eating healthy. Please bring back the recipe on the Duck Bills !!!
Enjoy yourselves planting the tree's. It must be a good feeling knowing your from North America, helping out on the other side of the world. That's cool !!!!!!

It all sounds very exciting. Kim, if you find a great pair of scissors buy a pair for me!!

Thanks for the information. I wasn't totally positive I was right. Nicole and I were having this discussion just before logging on to the blog.
Are you from Rotary?
