Peace Corps Cribs:Thailand

foreign [Music] let's go I made it tomato what's up welcome welcome I don't want to delay anything I want to get y'all to a crib we'll be on the ins and outs of it behind the scenes when we all seen Snippets of it in some of my other videos but if you have my social media account if not this may be your first time this is Peace Corps Thailand by the way this is not reflective of everybody's home makeup so I must present that to you but this is mine so why waste any more time all right let's get to it man we have the right Storage Center get my I think my palm made this not too long ago but this is where they store the rice he's been stored in here ever since I got here and this has been two months so I think we probably won't be grabbing these for a while be hot in here so it is interesting but I do like this backdrop man that's cold isn't it um you come to this side you have a little Port you just come under here she'll put some lawn chairs out here got my bike my baby it's a trick this is the only thing I can ride while being over here like come over here we had a dog kennel they had a few dogs over here before mine and they have another one on the other side too which I'll show you but yeah it's pretty cool glad they made it so I can separate them if need be these are outdoor bathrooms this is the only squats over here which is it's cool I'm not complaining about it nobody uses it but this is a a thing in Thailand people use squat toilets and then you have a regular toilet you have a regular toilet y'all know these nothing new but if the water is not working over here we usually store water right here and then we scoop it pour it into the toilet flushes like normal so yeah let's get out of here let's get out of here look what's going on over here on the other side you have the yard area we have Onyx my beautiful puppy I have three puppies I have three of them where the other ones okay they're under here say what's up say what's up say what's up this is a place I come every morning uh when I come back for my bike ride uh I'm glad my paw put this here last week told him I wanted and he's such a handyman and I helped him build the other one at the other uh Farm but I told him I'll help him when he gets home he came on his lunch breaking did it himself he's a superstar I love that guy were just as surprises out yeah as soon as you walk in this is an open space it's not too much Furniture which is good you're not running into things except kala he's always in the way he's getting ready to have some kitties so she's laying around too much I understand my face belonging she sell most of this stuff at the market on Saturdays I'm probably gonna go tomorrow I'm gonna do an actual Vlog on that too so may do it tomorrow may do it next week who knows turn left I got these blinds closed because they weren't here last night so come over here and this is my compound I got my Peace Corps box that I have yet to unpack and I have my big dresser here so clutch man so happy that they have this here it's definitely clutch and as you can see I'm in the process of washing clothes I have some drawers got some Essentials up there so yeah this comes in handy comes in handy I have a clothes rack here try to put my towels on and everything yeah so this is a open space it's usually hot in here there's no AC oh yeah I forgot to yeah mentioned that this crib I was so blessed I didn't even ask for it I told Peace Corps I have no preferences put me wherever you want I can adapt I can I can handle it but thankfully this uh family they already hosted a volunteer prior to me um so I guess she wanted the AC unit and it was figured I wanted it too so which I was complaining about it happy that I do have it but say all that to say this area does not have an AC gaming which is cool don't need it I'll probably just run up the bill because these windows cannot close you guys can see it kinda open at all times which it's good and bad because constant influx of mosquitoes but the good thing about my room is that I have a screen I have a screen you guys can see that right I have a screen here and then this door locks to show y'all [Music] welcome to my room I do have my mosquito net because even though I do have this screen somehow mosquitoes still find their way in and it's mostly because I don't close the door as fast as I need to but it's all good and my Rubik's Cube that I do sometimes and my little brother gave me my bed in my mouth this is a map that Peace Corps gave every volunteer we got Psalms 91 up here and then you come over here but let me just pan up this is my prized possession right here man my prize position I let me let me say this I didn't realize how much of a luxury AC was until I came here everybody does not have AC here and back in the States we take that for granted we just go home and it's automatically on we don't think about it parents pay for it whatever is normal here is not it's a luxury so I wasn't I didn't come here expecting to have it but when I did see it I was like oh thank you Lord thank you Lord so always count your blessings so you come over here I have this nice piece of wood yeah I have my power outlet which leads all the way over here and then you come over here and you see all my loved ones and these are not all of them but the ones that were able to get printed out that my mom did I'm so grateful for it it's like I look over here every day they put a smile on my face I can show y'all some of them bro JD with the Stetson together cousin first cousin Joy we got Mo do auntie little bro I cannot Nana my mom's lover to death shouldn't tell them grainy everybody man everybody my little sister Mr Dilley aunties cousins uh man family my ex all of them all love dog yeah this is my love wall oh my little cousin BJ you know he's killing the game right now I just love seeing I'm Sean every time I go on Instagram he's you know he's getting another offer from these colleges man but it's a testament to his hard work love my Uncle Brandon his dad yeah these are my loans these are my loved ones that I'm able to see on an everyday basis on my wall so yeah that's pretty much my room so now we're gonna go to the rest of the house show y'all things that you haven't seen before [Music] I'm not will they be interested about this I'm not sure but I'ma still do it so so we got the door open right now the dogs don't have to come in I'm training them so that's a good thing I don't have to yell oh we come over here and I have another china cabinet my name keeps all her flask in there they have portraits but then we have our refrigerator got my Alicia juice except on this every night it's nothing but sugar but why not why not why not I don't got too much in there like you're ready to go shopping so but you coming here oh this is my my grandfather who's the Knight the mayor his family we have the king and the queen like the prior king and the queen there in everybody's house I have yet to go in the house where there's not a picture not this exact picture there's not a picture of them now that's just how much they were there uh the monarchy here but we come in here and this is where my parents come in and they get their clothes this is a storage space for them my part comes in here he has all his work clothes cool so yeah not much I don't come in here for anything this is all them I'm gonna come here for the video and we have her bathroom so we have a regular Western toilet which is good flushes it's normal the reason I'm showing all this and y'all know this these are love shoes everybody doesn't have question towards in Thailand everybody doesn't live like this and we're not living high in life they just end up having to Western children let me show you all this man oh my gosh this is a luxury another luxury that I must show y'all man we have a shower head I know y'all probably laugh like yes this dude never seen a shower head before but like over here I didn't expect it like we were born in training should not expect the luxuries the same luggage that we have in the states like another luxury that I have hot water you turn this thing on it I don't want to come on man so the thing about this let me not waste any water so this comes on stuff like this all right it does it doesn't always work although we do have it the water doesn't always flow and it's not just our house it's a community thing there there's a water shortage in this community and because it's rain season right now there's no shortage of it but when the water's not flowing it's not coming through the shower head therefore we have to use this and we prepared to fill this up for when there's no water coming out of here see there's water and all you do is take this bad boy and the water will be caused no guarantee that it's going to be warm but it's I have no other source of wood you got to make do what it do you got to do some cold showers but I love them though I love them I love them I love them so that's our bathroom it's a bathroom area you come over here we have an iron on board I barely iron because as soon as I go outside it's so hot that it gets all the wrinkles out for me then we come to our kitchen area yeah I love this space because I love to eat well we come let's let's take a left let's take a left first we have another storage area where everybody really comes over here and touch anything except food she's gonna make sure you give her and she's gonna follow you around if you don't but this is where we hang up our our clothes after they get out of the I will show y'all what I'm talking about another luxury that we have which I'm so glad to have it because I know everybody doesn't have the luxury of having a washing machine let me just say it man I can't I can't get around from saying I just I just wanted to show y'all but I'm pretty sure you already put two and two together anyway [Music] oh man you walk out here and see cars passing by that leads into the front yard it's so beautiful today it's a perfect day to record so why not do it today because you don't want to waste electricity I always unplug if you're not using always unplug and the states we keep it plugged up right oh yeah has enough space to fit all my clothes thank the Lord come over here this leads to uh someone else's yard then we have a little Alleyway back here which I had to block off on the other side because my dogs keep going back there and these are big dogs back here they're not here right now I don't know where they are they probably roaming the community um so yeah it works whenever there's water running as I said about the shower this works whenever it's not running can't use it you guys come over here I'm gonna show you my man Paul this is my man she's a nurse and my paw who's up a lot and similar to oh well compared to interstates a commissioner in a way it's not quite the same but he works at the local government office um but yeah so yeah that's pretty much it Peace Corps Thailand is really where it's at but I hope you all enjoyed the Vlog man it's been real next video
