Whoa, it is the time for GI retreat already! That's mean that we have been here for about 6 months. Time flies way too fast! Well, me and the team went to Hua Hin, Southern Thailand to meet our leader and another team from South East Asia. Oh it's a great joy for me to meet them because they speak my language!! This is what awesome about being Asian... ha ha ha Well, we have class from 9-12 with the awesome Mr.Paul Hartford and we have team and individual meetings and stuff. But we also have some free time, ah, that was the best. Not that the team stuff wasn't good, it was very good actually, but when you are in the beach, don't you want to do something other than sitting in the class? :) So I bike all over the place, took a bunch of pictures and stuff. Get some tan on my skin... which is very unusual for an Asian, but who cares, I want to be out in the sun. Oh I miss the beach and the sand... even though you can't really compare this beach with the beach back home,

So, if you have been on my Facebook page lately, you might find that I just posted a bunch of pictures from the village. It is quite a shame that I don't know what is the name of the village. But anyways, let's move on. So we drove about 3 hours North-East of Chiang Mai to get to the village. At first, I was thinking you know... the village, no electricity, cold bath with a bucket, no toilet paper, hot and hard mattress, yeah no. It was actually a pretty good shaped village (I couldn't find a better word to describe it), I had a house with western bathroom in it and yeah, a mattress in the floor, but it was pretty nice actually. Well, first night was fun, we didn't do a lot of stuff, and most people there went to bed at like 8 o'clock, so we kind of go with it. But we wake up at 6 am to go to the market, and eat breakfast at 7 in the morning. And I am not talking about small nice breakfast, you know. It was a serious breakfast... it was sticky rice (every morning),
