project Khon Kaen!

heyyy!

just got back from thailand yesterday. it was simply awesome!! the best two weeks of my summer so far. we did so much stuff, like hypertension and diabetes clinic, breast cancer clinic, vaccination clinic, oral and personal hygeine, eye test, yada yada! and we had to do presentations in Thai, in a form of skits, and had to memorize thai lines. i think our pronounciation was so bad that the villagers found it funny.and we did a presentation on dengue fever and my fren's group made a mosquito costume that was so funny!!!

stayed in a kampung for over a week, where 20 plus ppl share one toilet/bathroom. and where we had to wash our own clothes, where it was infested with bugs everywhere! like grasshoppers hopping around our sleeping bags, or beetles flying out of nowhere all of a sudden and landing on you, all the variety of bugs in the world...those that crawl, those that fly, and tons of mosquitoes! but i think after 2 weeks like that, ive learnt to live in harmony with the bugs and although there is a wasp or dragonfly in the room i can still sleep.

the best part was playing with the Thai kids and hanging out with the thai students.the kids were super nice and friendly. the only problem was that they couldn speak much english and i couldn speak much thai, and that was a real hindrance! nevertheless, we played with them...telematches, football, volleyball (they are so good, esp football!!), badminton, taught them msian games...hehe..and they taught us those games you usually play when u are in primary school. and we taught them english in school...wahhhh.....was so 'shacked'(sporean word for tired) after teaching a bunch of ten years old who barely know english and who are so playful. we were teaching them simple sentences and actions and i had to run and hop and jump around for a few hours demonstrating to them. but they are still adorable..always giving us stuff, making flower necklaces...hahaha. so funny man. and everymorning, even before we wake up they wil be outside the house waiting for us to play with them, and there they are again in the evening. wahhh..i got overdose of kids.

the thai students are damn funny and cuckoo. not kidding. actually learnt quite a bit of thai from them. and they are super friendly man. and i was learning thai dances from them,..which are HILARIOUS. i must teach u guys some. but i dont really know the words. heheeh. we lived with them and hanged out with them for 2 weeks that it was so fun!!!

and i learnt to cook thai dishes!!1
