Teaching is fun!

We had a good time in Nong Khai (3 days orientation at Open Mind Projects) with the rest of the volunteers from London, Germany, Netherlands, and Australia. We enjoyed listening to the accent of Tanya and Lindsay (from England). Sometimes we imitated them and laughed a lot. Mac was sometimes irritated with us. After a week we forgot their accent and went back to our own Micronesian accent.

We were picked up by the English teachers of Anuban Nong kwai Primary School. It was more than an hour travel from Nong Khai. The road is paved and the side of the the road is green and lustrous. It was a very refreshing trip looking at the green tree and and rice fields.

Trip to Thailand

It was already late in the evening when Stella came to the Bannex. I was not done with packing yet and so was Stella. We stayed up late until 2:00 a.m. We only had more than one hour sleep. Good thing, somebody invented an alarm clock. It woke me up at 4 a.m. followed by a telephone ring from Pastor Hiob and Leah. They wanted to know if we were awake. I prepared breakfast but not able to eat them. I think we were so excited to leave we did not mind eating. Pastor Hiob dropped Mac, Stella, and me to the airport. Elilai and Twinsanne were at the airport already when we arrived then we proceed to check in. Finally, we are on our way to Taipei.
It took more than three hours to reach Taipei.
