i ate silkworms today
WHAT A DAY! I went to NongHee for Sport Day, which we've been having all week ... having Sports week means we do no teaching a basically watch the students compete against other schools in various sports. It is quite entertaining since NongHee does fairly well in most sports haha ... but in any case I went to school and watched the boys play 'football' and then watched a game of 'beach volleyball' (literally on sand with two players on each team) ...
The boys football team ... aka my darling loves who I attempted to teach "yo, what's up?" to
And the star volleyball duo ... bpaay noi and chuue ... LOVE THEM
and then the student teachers asked me if I wanted to see the people of NongHee use their special fishing equipment, this one particular day of the year ... rough translation but I of course said sure! ... so we hop on motorbikes (yea I rode on the back of one for the first time! wooo!!!) and drove over to the river (same place we hard Loy Kratong) and sure enough they had created our of bamboo and net these fishing apparatuses ... according to the one student teacher this only happens on one day of the year.
AND THEN they asked if I wanted to see silk worms ... so I said yes! ... so they said ok first we "gin kaio" (eat rice aka eat lunch) so we hopped on the bikes and went back to school to eat and then hopped back on the bikes and rode to a nearby house to where a woman was legit old school spinning silk from the worms ... AWESOME ... I was shown the worms before cocoon, during cocoon, and after (aka while the silk spinning was taken place) ... then one of the student teachers starts scooping out the silkworms from the boiling water that are completely out of their cocoon and goes ... can eat ... uhhhh what? at that moment I get handed a silkworm peeled out of its outer membrane if you will and was instructed to just pop it into my mouth ... so I did. it was a little crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside ... not too bad hahaha I ate a few more and then it was apparently time for a fashion show with the hand woven silk this woman had crafted ...
just another typical day in NongHee
