Hi All,
 
	Welcome to Thailand! I am Kristin Halligan and Thailand is my adopted home. I have lived here for about 13 years spreading my time between the Big Mango, Issaan, and Chiang Rai.  I actually live pretty close to the venue where we will be studying so I can point you in the right direction of some delicious Thai food or things to do. I speak Thai reasonably well.  I look forward to meeting you all and embarking on this educational adventure!
