My Volunteering Adventure in Thailand Part 2

It's already 29th of May 2014, and I was reading my blog entry and found out this entry is missing! I will try hard to recall what occurred during my volunteering in Thailand.

Is Suvanna and Mr S mad at me because I was unable to join them? I haven't the slightest idea. Natalie and I went back to school on our own. We took a cab and then, get off at the bus stop. We supposed to walk from the bus stop to reach the school, luckily, there's a kind parent of one of our students who gave us a ride. Honestly, i cannot imagine walking 5 to 6 miles!

On my 6th day of volunteering, i was so anxious to see Suvanna and Mr S. I have to apologize even I don't do anything wrong! But Mr S isn't around and Suvanna never mention that topic. I taught kids again, this time I have additional cute students.

On my 7th to 8th day, I continue teaching kids and at the same time playing with them during break time. I was able to meet another foreign visitor from Norway. Finally, I talked to Mr S and tried to settle the issue that bothered me for several nights. I worried for nothing! He's such a good man!

This is also the last time I saw Mr S, as he was off to attend something important. He gave me my certification ahead of time, took pictures and waived goodbye. I also made the certification of all kids who attended the English Summer Program.

On my last day of volunteering, we made a family tree on the school wall. Teach a little and submitted the lesson plan for my 9 days of volunteering. Before I left, the kids had prepared a very heart touching goodbye. They enclosed me on a circle while singing, until the circle gets smaller and they hugged me and we all landed on the ground. They gave me letters too. It was one of the best moments I have in my life. It's unforgettable and absolutely heart breaking goodbye! I can't imagine parting with them. They are all so lovely!

That day, I left Chiang Rai and went to Bangkok to travel to Siem Riep. Crossing the border alone. I had this funny experience in Siem Riep, Cambodia. I met this man when I visited a shop with my new travel companion I met when visiting Angkor Wat. This man talks about religion and marriage which I completely opposed. He kept insisting his personal opinion and beliefs on me! He even asked me to marry him several times. I told him no! And he told me, that in case I change my mind, just inform him. Before we left the store, he told my new friend to guide me because I am lost! I told him I am not! I am only at the right age to marry but not in the right mind! There's no way I will marry someone who doesn't respect my beliefs and someone I do not love!

It was a wonderful journey though :)
