I was really hoping that I would be able to report back something more positive than yesterday's post. Unfortunately, that just is not the case. To give some indication of how FUBAR this morning was, I was back home by 10:30. I still have no idea when I will begin classes at this school nor, … Continue reading Daily Phuket #85: 29 November 2021 – Waiting, Waiting, and Still Waiting…
