Tale of an Intern:

I had my whole life figured out until I received an email.
Where: Chiang Mai, Thailand
When: August to December
To: assist a development study abroad program
In Order: to ask hard questions about poverty.
With: five students, three interns, and a lot of wats.

Here I go again.

The Plague Of Small Things

It's sick, really.
East Africans wouldn't go near a puppy if you paid them. Most Ugandans are indifferent to domesticated animals but Thais on, the other hand, find creatures you can't resist and try sell them to you. They even go as far to put dresses on baby bunnies. (O_O) Dear...god.

freaking baby bunnies of doom at Loi Kratong:mutt puppies for sale by the Mae Ping River:but we have found a way to resist the temptation. The Lahu have found a suitable adversary for free:She was chasing children at a Lahu-Thai wedding everyone was attending on the compound and she (bit me incessantly with her sharp, puppy teeth and) passed out on my lap for the rest of the ceremony. She has no name because she doesn't belong to us, but it still doesn't keep us from referring to her as "ours".
