First day of school! Big first – first day of masters program, first day of school in a foreign country, first day of school with motorbike transportation… I had to take a quick trip to Burma to get my passport stamped with a new visa, and here are four friends at Wor’s birthday party – Ning, Apple, Pin, and Weaw.
CM 2007 last pics
I just realized I never posted pictures from my last month in Thailand in 2007. Here P’Opal and I are at Walking Street, and the TLC building when I left.
The Final Weeks…
Highlights of my last few weeks in Thailand: Jared my missionary friend in Mongolia came to Chiang Mai for a class and conference, so we got to hang out a few times. Good to see him! I also was able to visit with the parents of one of my best friends – they were at the conference too. Chiang Mai is the place to be! […]
Happy Valentine’s Day, the Thai Way!
On Valentine’s Day, Thai school children exchange heart stickers and decorate their uniforms to celebrate the holiday and appreciate their friends. At our Valentine’s Day party last Friday, we gave each other stickers in true Thai fashion. Here, Wor and I are dressed in red for the holiday. June on the left gives Evie a sticker Saa shows off her hearts P’Opal and Apple and […]
Motorbike 101
This is a usual sight – three people, book bags, anything. Little kids sit up front and hold on to the mirror bases like handles, or sit in back with someone. Dogs ride in the basket or in the back. Driving with just one other passenger takes enough balance, I can’t imagine two or more! Not exactly a car-seat friendly mode of transportation!
“The Guinness Book of Centre Records”
This past Friday Night Party theme was “Record Breaking.” We all had so much fun trying to be hungriest, quickest, smartest, and even hottest… take a look! My friends Paew and Apple. Apple became a Christian in December! Chubby Bunnies, so fun. I must say that I think it was my first time ever playing… … lovely. Two and 3/4 pieces of bread and […]
Graduation
Jeab, my student from the summer of 2006, graduated this week. I was able to see her on graduation day and take a picture together. Fong (just above me) graduated too, and friends from last summer celebrated with her at the Centre – clockwise from me: Fog, Kwan, Dear, Gyou, and Gok. Gyou and Kwan became Christians last year, during and soon after my summer […]
What a day!
January 27, 2008, a day that will go down in history… I ran my third race, a 6.57k (4mile) run. I placed third in my category (females 21-30 years old), and had a “podium finish” complete with a trophy! ……and…. my bike was stolen. 🙁 This is me filing a police report at the station, with my key and no bike. But, God is good […]
TLC Building, in progress!
Here is TLC’s new building, on its way to completion! Please pray for the building progress and for the church – we are hoping to move in by the end of this month!
My Second Race
Here is my number and finisher’s medal from my second race – 10.55k / 6.55 miles. It was fun!
