Nathan has graduated! Tuesday, 04 July 2017 06:58 |  Written by Tatjana Bak
On Thursday, July 15th, Peter, Tatjana, Chester, Jeremy, and Izzy travelled to Chiang Mai to celebrate Nathan's graduation with him. Nathan graduated from the DTS, which is a Bible School, run by YWAM (Youth With A Mission). This school runs for 6 months and is split into 2 parts, the lecture phase and the outreach phase. The lecture phase was done in Chiang Mai and the outreach phase was done in 3 different locations; Faang in the north of Thailand, Phuket in the south of Thailand, and Jordan in the Middle East. During the outreach phase Nathan and his team taught Muslim children, talked with and listened to stories with refugees from Syria who fled to Jordan. He grew closer to God during his time at the DTS and this experience also helped him to become more independent, living away from his parents(Peter and Tatjana)

Jeremy is visiting!Friday, 09 June 2017 00:00 | Written by Tatjana Bak
After being gone for almost a year, Jeremy is back in Thailand for 7 weeks. He has enjoyed being around the International School, where he studied, for the last week of the school year. He got to see many classmates, friends from school, and teachers during that time. We also celebrated his 20th birthday with a cheesecake that he, unknowingly, brought with him from the Netherlands. Of course he didn’t bring the whole thing ready-made, he brought certain key ingredients that we can’t get here in Thailand.
Fun evening!Tuesday, 11 April 2017 09:36 | Written by Tatjana Bak
A while ago Nathan was back from DTS for a weekend. One day we felt like making a fire and eating outside in the cool weather. So we made Dutch pancakes and ate them with an assortment of toppings: shoarma, syrup, powdered sugar, cinnamon and much more. But this wasn’t enough for the girl from America who is living with us, she wanted peanut butter as well. We told her to go ahead and do it. We just hadn’t expected her to put everything else on there as well. We looked on in horror but she kept trying to reassure us that it tasted good and that we should try it. So we all tried a bite and it wasn’t half bad. So we came to the conclusion that Americans aren’t as crazy as they might seem.

Thai New Year!Monday, 08 May 2017 00:00 | Written by Tatjana Bak
Driving!Tuesday, 07 March 2017 00:00 | Written by Tatjana Bak
In Thailand you can only drive a car if you have a license. Foreigners can do this in 1 of 2 ways. The first way is to get an international driver’s license in the country of origin and then you can get it switched here for a Thai license. The second way is to go take the written and driving tests and if you pass they give you a license.

Normally we stay home during Thai New Year but this time we (Peter, I, Chester, and Izzy) decided to go to Chiang Mai. We stayed in the center of town so we could walk out the door and start partying. Thai New Year is celebrated by having the world’s largest water fight. It originates from sprinkling water on others as a blessing. This is a Buddhist holiday. We make a game out of it along with all the Thai people and we wish everyone a happy new year in our own way. Nathan came out with his whole team/class on the first day to join us in the water fight. Nathan stayed with us at the guesthouse for the next few days and we had a lot of fun playing with water, playing games, and watching movies. We had an awesome time in Chiang Mai.
