AZAD!!

KAREN's happy&gay leader

ben's cowboy hat

death railway!!

kanchanaburi trip was GOOD! although last year's chiang mai trip might have been more fun this one is enjoyable too.

day ONE
got to know our instrutor aka AZAD!!!he's really cool. KAREN is lucky to have him. =) we almost lost michelle at night, thank goodness nothing happened.

day TWO
we sat on the death railway train. scenery was good =) night walk was quite boring. we basically held hands and walked in darkness in the national park, nothing much. but when we looked up into the sky it was like OMG!! you can see a billion stars. it was super nice!

day THREE
trekking up the 7-tier waterfall at ERAWAN NATIONAL PARK(erawan waterfalls) was okay, it was more fun at the higher levels where it was steeper. we dipped into part of the waterfall for a while but a pity i was quite restricted. we played sightless soccer which was really cool. KAREN won! YAY!!! had outdoor cooking which i slacked quite a bit. the different groups cooked different stuff like chicken(karen & lisu), bamboo rice(kamu) and eggs&vegetables(akha). we played the candle game at night and i was quite retarded and slow but still it was a fun game. at least i managed to break the opponent's string once :)

day FOUR
went to a school for school visit. we stood in this truck to go there. 40 students plus teachers and instructors. we were singing and cheering our way there =) planted tree with the kids there, played friendly vball with them, soccer for some, barbequed corn and mine totally FAILED. so disgusting!! it was on the grass and ash, even if i washed it i wouldn't dare eat it. then we went to the PRATHAT CAVE. trekking up and down was super fun and good. it was really steep so it made us all tired and soaked with sweat. the cave was damn cool also. the stones/rocks in the cave had so many shapes and figures that we made out to be some things like skulls, duck, buddha etc. we had the protect the egg activity again. my group's cracked on the first throw. we had campfire that night. it was quite fun except we did the thai dance which was quite repetitive for quite long. we did friendship dance too. that was cool =) akha's "performance" for the night. quite creative of them. the lom jiam pa which the instructor's contributed was funny. singing along was enjoyable as usual.

day FIVE
lunch was super good. haha. we were supposed to go to the Thailand Muangboran Ancient City Park but there were 3 people sick so we didnt. ended up shopping at some shopping mall and i bought a wallet!!!! yay! im really happy with that. :P at night, karen had a good time writing reflections and autographs. we laughed and went crazy in the room.

day SIX
breakfast then home sweet home.
