The Wanapoteemos

I changed host families a couple of weeks ago and at the time I was incredibly nervous. I had heard mixed reviews about this particular family and didn't really know what to expect.

Luckily for me, the rumors proved false.

The Wanapoteemos are very sweet and we seem to be able to live together without problems. It's still a little awkward but hopefully that will dissipate with time.
There are 3 people in our 3rd floor apt...
Kim, or Koon Maa ( Maa = Mom Say this as nasally as possible and you will be pronouncing it right...sort of like a sheep). She is quiet, nice, a little vague at times, has a major under bite and barely scrapes 5' but I like her.
Sante or Koon Paw, is very warm, likes jogging, 4' 11'', and works 7 days a week at the Electronic Store that he owns.
Then there is Grace my sister, she's 18, lived in Arkansas last year, and is absolutely adorable. I really like her; she doesn't talk much but she doesn't make me feel awkward either. And because she's lived in the states she can relate to all the... bizarre situations I find myself in.

I get my own room, it's super tiny, but I really like it because it has real windows, something my last room lacked. And after my studio in R'ville, I prefer tiny rooms. So far they have been really nice to me, I had only been living with them for a week and they already signed me up for THAI MASSAGE CLASSES(!!!) which is very exciting because it means that I will have some sort of real talent (besides a knowledge of basic Thai) from living here. All I can say is once I get back home I will have to practice a lot so I won't forget. I also mentioned to them that I wanted to learn Muay Thai (thai boxing) or tai kwan do, (any defense sport really) and now have been taking it for a week. Its difficult and I reek to high heaven by the end of the day but it's worth it.
So all in all my new family is pretty fantastic.
This entry isn't too long. I'll write again soon.^^ Love you all!!
