The last weeks and days

07 September 2006 | Thailand, Bangkok
Time flies when you're having fun! Well, the past weeks I had a lot of fun or 'sanuk' as the Thai say. Sunuk is a very important part of Thai culture, by the way. They try to see the fun in everything they do or say. Sometimes it's strange or annoying but most of time is very nice to laugh about things :)
Because I was so busy having fun I didn't write for a month and now we leave tomorrow to Singapore and then we fly home to the Netherlands.
It's hard to tell everything that has happened the last month, but I'll try anyway.
The past month we had some more volunteers at the camp. First three German girls, with which we play cards and 'rummicub' almost every evening. And last week 2 Finnish girls and one French guy arrived. One of the German girls is also taking over our English lessons at Kok Muang school. We are very happy that the children will continu to learn English, since they progressed a lot since our arrival.
Last week we were at an English Camp. That means that students spend a couple of days together playing games, singing songs and interact with other people. All in English! The group consisted of 400 students from Thailand and Malaysia, that were about 17-20 yars old. We were there to do icebreakers (getting-to-know-each-other-games) and energizers (don't-get-bored-or-fall-asleep-games). I can tell you, it's really cool to do 'the wave' with 400 students :D
Today we said goodbye to our students at Kok Muangschool. Thanks to some generous people in the Netherlands, we could give every student a pencil, pointsharpener, ruler, rubber and colours. Besides that we gave the school a lot of medical things like plasters and bandages, English/Thai books and picture-dictionaries. Everybody was really happy :) From the teachers we got real Thai 'We love the King'-polo's (which teachers wear a lot) and a very nice farewell-lunch.
So, time to pack my bags and then I'm ready to go. I would like to thank everybody that supported me in the last 8 months in one way or the other. I hope you enjoyed to read my stories just as much as I enjoyed to write them!

Inge:
wow Vanessa,
Sorry dat ik al een tijdje niets van me heb laten horen. Maar ik begrijp dat je binnenkort weer terug zult komen naar Nederland. Zou leuk zijn om dan eens wat af te spreken met je. In ieder geval een hele goede reis terug naar huis gewenst!
Groeten,

Was vergeten hoe lang het al weer was, 8 maanden dus, wow. Tegen al mijn collega's vertel ik dat mijn beste vriendinnetje terug komt van wereldreis, mooi hè. Want als ik dan vertel waar je geweest ben zeggen ze: wereldreis, dat is geen wereldreis ! Nou voor mij wel hoor en voor jou vast ook wel, in ieder geval een aardig gedeelte van ons wereldbolletje. En je reis terug vind ik ook een wereldreis :) Geniet er nog even van en heel veel succes maar toch ook plezier op de terugreis.

Hoi Vanessa en Chris,
Alweer een beetje gewend in ons kikkerlandje?
Wat betreft de temperaturen mogen jullie niet klagen..Helaas zijn we er 17 september niet bij als Tineke jarig is. Andere verplichtingen; Stephanie moet optreden in het theater. We hopen jullie op enig ander moment een keer te ontmoeten. Voorlopig wensen we jullie veel plezier met het ophalen van alle herinneringen en ervaringen, bekijken van foto's etc! Wellicht komen je memoires nog wel eens in de boekhandel?
groetjes vanuit Breda
groeten vanuit Breda
