One of the medic student's invited me to come to her English class after clinic. So, Jamie and I met her at the clinic at 4:45pm and walked down to her class consisting of 10 people and a Burmese teacher who had only 8 months of official training (although his English was the best I have heard here). They got us a coke and a strawberry fanta to thank us for coming to their class. Then, we introduced ourselves and the students introduced themselves. After that, the students were supposed to ask us questions.
For about the next hour, the students asked us questions ranging from where were we from to what do your parents do to how much our guesthouse is charging per night (they were horrified by the 400baht/night answer). The girl I have been working with asked me how many marriage proposals I had gotten and when was jamie going to ask me to marry him (without any prompting I may add). She also asked how much I was going to pay jamie to marry me. I said zero and explained how he had to buy me a shiny diamond ring if he wanted to marry me.
We really enjoyed ourselves and it was a lot of fun. Oh, and we also learned how to say son of bitch in burmese :-)
