Well its been just over 30 years since they kicked me out of school so it came as quite a shock for me to go back into a classroom. I quickly got used to my little chair desk thingie and paid attention instead of mucking up. (I was sorely tempted)
I drew pictures of 7 different animals and a car on the whiteboard and wrote stuff down in my new exersize book. I got seven stars on my first day so I knew that the teacher thought I had potential.
So far I have done two presentations and one exam and I didnt even cheat. Not once. Well, maybe I did look at the gal next to me's book once but I didnt copy her answer.
Anyway, last night we all (3) went out for a nice slap up 'get to know you' dinner. We had a lovely night and when the bill came it was 3000 baht. We all kicked the tin with a 1000 baht note and the nong took it to the cashier.
Apparently the cashier had made an error and the bill should have been only 2500 baht. The cashier gave the nong 500 baht to return to us and when the nong came back to our table she came up to me and explained that there had been an error. I told her not to worry about it and thanked her. I told her to keep 200 baht as a tip, as the service had been good and she did have a nice rack.
I then gave my fellow students 100 baht each and pocketed 100 baht myself.
It was a really good night out but as we prepared to leave I got to thinking about the bill.
Here is the thing.......if we all paid 1000 baht and then received 100 baht back then we had all paid 900 baht.
3 x 900 = 2700
plus the 200 baht that I tipped the nong
3 x 900 +200 = 2900
So where is the 100 baht?
Anyway, next week we are doing 'looking stuff up' and I have already got loads of homework to do. I am gonna be a teecha.
