This blog serves as a diary for my Society & Culture class and is a space for me to reflect daily on my experiences in Thailand. Here I offer a critical look at the life of Thai people from the point of view of a foreigner, or farang. Enjoy! -Gwen

Meal with a monk
Charles took me to eat lunch with a monk at Wat Mahathat, whom he calls his ajaan, or teacher. It was really interesting to see all of the donation foods he collected today and I was honored that he shared with me and some other Thammasat students. He is a very nice man who taught meditation at a university in Arizona once upon a time. I hope to follow him on his walk tomorrow morning to collect food. I'll have to get up pretty early! I'm not sure what is appropriate for me to wear yet, or what exactly I will do as I accompany him.
