Day 19- Day 22: Chatuchak Market; Bangkok

Thursday and Friday were observation days, where us, as students. would observe as the teachers taught; showing us how the next lesson model should be done. How crazy it is that with just 2 hours of sitting on our bums, our minds are tired. Exhausted is more like it. Well after two days of exhausting mind-work I went to Bangkok with a friend of mine who is currently teaching in Laos where I will be teaching, and is actually the one who had mentioned and helped me through this teaching opportunity, thank you Rebecca! :) While in Bangkok we walked around Chatuchak Market and window shopped for hours.

( http://www.intoasia.com/bangkok/markets/chatuchak.php ) This place is huge. Despite the amount of time we were out and about we didn't even double-track once. Amazing! Later that evening we went to the night Bazaar, which is another market that takes place in the evening. Everything is full of color and the whole market lights up the senses. Definitely worth more than just a look through.

Bangkok is a great place, but the serene essence of Ban Phe is where it's at for me. A little ocean-side breeze is all it takes to fall back into that wonderland feel.

Nothing feels quite like home though, 6 more days.
