Yesterday, the majority of class was in regards to Thai history and Thai political conflict. We also watched a short video of a speech by Chimanada Adichie on the Single Story and had a great class discussion in regards to it. Here is the link...well worth watching!

Today was our presentation day. We all made a presentation on our current work and the basis for our Individual Conflict Analysis that will be due the end of the 12 weeks. It was enlightening to learn about each Peace Fellows area of work and the conflict they are working on. Although we all come from different countries, it is amazing that some of the conflicts around the world have similar underlying issues. It was a very opening day and a day full of learning!

After it class I then ventured out on the sky train to find my first Thai massage. That alone is worth coming to Thailand for!

Sorry no pictures yet, I haven't been able to upload photos from the iPad to the blog...will have to find a computer to do that I guess??
