Today is another sunny day (actually, everyday). Mascha went to school for the first time. She was a bit excited and claimed that the school is exactly the same as what she imagined before. The school looked awesome under the morning sun along with relax music.
Billy, Simon, Jinny were already there when we arrived. The others came later. The Germans were glad with the sun very much. We sat inside the school for a while and waited for the morning ceremony. Mr. Pong took pictures from the Germans and us all together, too.
At 8 o'clock was time for the national anthem and morning ceremony. It was quite something new for our guests because they don't have to sing the national anthem in Germany. Then the students prayed and it was time for the Germans to introduce themselves in front of the entire school. Mascha was shocking as the teacher told them. lol But everything went very well I think. The young students could remember their names now and were very excited to meet the Germans.
Then we walked around the school, showed them around the buildings. As we were at the kindergarden building and play park, everyone jumped into the train and played lol. I didn't expect this. It was so cute to see the big Germans in the small things.
Then we went upstairs to meet the teacher team for this program. They reviewed all the program again and gave us information about what we should prepare or how to behave for instance in the hill tribe. There were many things that we have to buy the new ones. So we have to make a list of things as soon as possible. We have to prepare materials for teaching the children on the mountain, too. The Germans were surprised as they knew that there are no toilettes on the mountain.
After this little meeting we walked to the Sanpakoi market. Fortunately, it was not extremely hot for us especially for the Germans. At first we went to the bank because some Germans had no Thai money yet. I just knew that queuing by numbers in the bank is something new for them because there are no this system in Germany. We showed them how the people live like the old houses made of wood.
We arrived at the maker and walked around. There are many things that our guests have not met before, Durian, Magarine, etc. Mascha and Lavi could not watch the fish while they were killed by a club. I understand their feelings very well. It is cruel.
We bought pork sticks with sticky rice and a bubble tea and also some snacks. Later we've found gloves for gardening for 10 bath. That is awesome because we don't have to look for gloves anymore for working on the hill tribe.
We went back to school and had a northern Thai culture and language. The Germans tried their best to learn Thai and I'm very glad. They are so cool while they speak Thai. They got their Thai names and also learned how to fold the lotus. They also dressed in northern Thai tradition clothes. I find the lesson a bit difficult but it's alright. :) I enjoy this lesson too. They learned how to greet properly and make a conversation.
Later we went to the tailor to measure for the Germans' uniforms. Mascha looked forward for this a lot. The others seemed excited, too. During the measuring was a bit of chaos lol because we were there 11 people in a small shop. The Germans looked really great in the school uniforms! I can't waitttttttt. The owner took photos with them, too. It was very warm atmosphere there.
After that we were lift to a department store to buy a sim card for the cell phones. On the way back home, Mascha fell asleep real fast. I guess she still has jet lag. Then we ate dinner together which was Tom Yam Goong. :D
