"This is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it" Psalms 118:24 This past couple of days have been so great. Tuesday was a very eventfull and rewarding day. We visited 2 schools. At the first school we were paired up and placed into classrooms. We were to be the teachers for however long they gave us. Our first class was very lively. Picture taking is always an attention grabber. We taught colors, numbers, animals, shapes and other things. I learned how to say that im 19 years old "Sip Caow Pbee" The kids got pretty crazy pretty much at anything we did. It was great! Our second class wasnt as lively. They were still great though. We then left because it was ours and theirs lunch time. The bus started driving away then I hear my name "NamKaang, a little girl told me to give this to you." It's a beautiful beautiful bracelet. Silver bangle with small orange beads. P'Rung gave it to me. She said they refered to me as P'NamKaang. Which is really neat. P' is showing respect for an older person. At the second school we sang and i signed two songs. We taught them several actions songs, then had some new and different fruit. When we cooked dinner for the natives, we cooked spagetti. Although not american, spagetti was something they have never had. They enjoyed it!
The next day we packed up, had breakfast, had a short gift giving ceremony sang, prayed then headed back to Bangkok.
We are now heading to Singapore. Im currently at the airport and will board in about 10 minuets. Singapore will be very very different from Thailand. Kelly said we might experience culture shock. I'm looking forward to visting another country, learning another language and eating some good food.
HORRAY for plane rides!!
Oh one thing I'd like to mention. Its so humid in Bangkok that my glasses fog up as soon as I step out of an air conditioned room.
Kap Kun Ka!
