  • 最近好忙好忙，O Camp總算完滿結束了，但又開學了。
    謝謝Freshmen們的投入參與，因為你們，我們的汗水是值得的，我們才可以驕傲。
    愛你們。

    Year 2的第一個星期，Agasse第一課就給了很多功課，但我還沒有開始做……
    真的感覺到他會是個很好的老師，也感覺到他有點特別，但不知道是甚麼……
    而Cabau呢，頭一次挺喜歡她的emotionality，跟Isabelle的那種不同，至少我這樣覺得吧。

  • 在曼谷玩了兩天多，時間不多，錢也不多，沒有去很多地方，而且都是蜻蜓點水式的逛一逛而已。
    星期三早上離開Pa Deng的時候，他們本來還好好的，突然就哭了起來，大家都捨不得大家。
    聽他們說，營舍一直沒很多年輕人到訪，上一次是個來自奧地利的男孩；而我們是首兩個到訪的中國人。
    有個小朋友用泰文給我寫了些東西，我還沒來得及問一下是甚麼意思就得走了，唯有先擱著吧。
    之前從電腦老師口中得知那賣特產糖果的商店名字（掖金來甜品店），到曼谷途中，我著司機在那兒停一下。
    這店子只能在佛丕府（碧武里府）找到，而糖果又真的挺好吃的，我當然不能放過啦！
    如果有機會你們也要買點啊，「費燙」、「燙葉」、「摩驚」都很好吃，「呀撈呀」則還好。
    其實還有其他的，不過沒時間慢慢看啦，那店子實在太大了！！

    到達曼谷已經是三點多了，在賓館附近吃了一碟豬腿飯就出去走走。
    但賓館的位置實在不太好，預訂的時候不太清楚，只看到環境還不錯，但跟市中心原來還挺遠……
    每天晚上回去都得乘的士，而且不是每輛的士都會接載，可想而知吧。
    因為不懂乘巴士，只好乘最近的昭披耶河快船到大皇宮，但那時已經接近五點，過了開放時間，白乘了……= =
    那只好再乘快船到唐人街逛逛，他們的市集很像赤柱的那個，但沒甚麼好買的。
    值得一提的是區中心耀華力路，從招牌的字型（龍鳳大酒樓）到商店的門面，簡直就是六七十年代的香港！
    但沿途走著，也是沒甚麼好買的，一大堆的珠寶金行，於是走到地鐵站去七隆。
    空鐵暹羅站和七隆站一帶都是一大堆的商場，暹羅站那邊的是比較年輕有創意的，七隆站那邊則像朗豪坊。
    那晚只去了七隆站那邊，第二天下午才去了暹羅站那邊；我比較喜歡暹羅站那邊的。
    第二天傍晚還去了亞索站那邊看看，不過就是沒有錢嘛，所以都是在商場之間走走逛逛而已啦。

    第二天早上就真的去了大皇宮了，感覺建築之間的空間很小很亂，而且遊客極多，實在很難拍照。
    其實是挺金碧輝煌的，不過原來泰王不是住在這兒的……
    那邊一帶都是這些宮殿群，還去了甚麼臥佛寺、鄭皇廟之類的；廟宇是漂亮，但都千篇一律吧。
    第三天也是去宮殿，不過在賓館附近；原來想走過去，看來很近吧，但卻走錯路 = =
    然後其中一個行宮又一定要參加guided tour，弄得差點兒趕不及飛機航班……

  • The last day in Pa Deng, kinda like a touring day. It was raining here these 2 days, the roads all became muddy and sticky.
    The computer (MS Word) teacher of the camp came to take us to the temple and to see the Pala-U Waterfall.
    It was very unexpected, because she speaks very very little English, and didn't talk to us much when she came.
    But last Saturday she gave us a bag of cakes (coconut flavour) and told us the touring stuff.
    I know nothing about the Thai Buddhism, so when sitting in the temple, I just followed what the others were doing.
    The monks ate the donated food in the hall immediately after the worship, feel like a bit weird though.
    But then I think being monks in Thailand they've no worries about food and money. I know they're highly respected though.

    After the temple was the waterfall. It's located in the Kaeng Krachan National Park, which is an ASEAN heritage site.
    This is the first time I've ever been to a rainforest, what came to my eyes recalled my memory of A-Level Geography :p
    It was quite hard for me to climb the rock and to walk in the forest. The soil is very very wet, with much nutrients, haha
    The waterfall isn't really a big deal, it's kinda small. But I find the experience of climbing and walking quite special.
    Many Thai came there for camping (just close to the entrance though), and some were washing clothes (?!, not sure actually).
    The teacher seems to know every security guard in the waterfall area, don't know if she's come for many times.

    Anyway, on the way I asked her about the local sweets I searched on the net. And she was kind to take us to buy.
    As I didn't know how they tasted, I only bought one for 2 type of them. She said in Phetchaburi Town they were much better.
    But the town is 20km from here. Maybe I can ask the driver to stop at it for a while when going to Bangkok tomorrow.
    I'm very looking forward to visiting Bangkok, but I like the kids very much too. If I've time (and money!!!) I'll probably come again.
