Two in Thailand

After raising three children and watching them graduate from college, Bob and Carol decided to leave the educational field and pursue a dream that had been put on hold for 35 years (since graduationg from the University of Northern Iowa). "Two in Thailand" is the journal dedicated to that dream - to serve in the Peace Corps. This is a personal blog. The opinions expressed within do not necessarily represent the views of the Peace Corps or the United States Government.

Yes, We Have Bananas!!!!


Thailand grows approximately 30 varieties of bananas. They range from very sweet 3-inch slender varieties and fat 4-inch sweet bananas to the long, not-so-sweet variety sold in America. Bob loves bananas because they keep his s*** together. We all adapt personal survival strategies while in foreign countries.

This stand is across the street from our house. The bananas cost "sip baht we-la" (20 baht per bunch, which is about 55 cents)--- Aren't the little children adorable!!!

And gas is $2.80 a gallon in NC! I'd go for the Bananas and ride my bike.

It's $2.08 in Thailand. That's like paying $25.00 a gallon considering their income. No wonder we see 5 people on a motor scooter!
