Arrival in Thailand






After 15 hour flight we arrived in Bangkok and recieved beautiful floral decorations. Today is the 26th of january and I have already been here almost 3 weeks. Time flies...

One of the best moments during our welcome ceremony was when the head of the Community Development Department (a government organization) said the following at the end of his speach.."May the force be with you! Star Wars" He is the guy in the pink shirt, in one of the pics below.

Then there is me with the King of Thailand, the thaid adore him as if he were a God.

Another highlight was eating out while in Bangkok, we went to this place where we ordered like 30 dishes which we cooked or BBQ ourselves right at the table! Yum yum!

Work is going well, so far I have great time with the youth, adjusting to life here is challenging but educating. Trying to learn the language and assisting the group in their endeavours to face their challenges. It is all good! Just wish I had a clean bathroom, at the moment I was by throwing a bowl of water over myself, then lather up, then rinse again by throwing water....woohooo!!
