Welcome to CRPAO

Wednesday, January 24^th 2018

Today we will be picked up by the selected schools. I got Chiang Rai Provincial Administrative Organization School (CRPAOS) , with my roommate Rahmi, Tias, and Ella. Before we go to CRPAOS, we have a orientation with Mr. President. I carry my luggages with me and we go to the van. From CRRU to CRPAOS is about 10 kilometres and it takes 20 minutes by van.

Teacher Hin and Teacher Tiu take us to the office to meet the other teachers. We introduce ourselves with our Thai name that they can easily remember. Teacher Hin is like our mom in this school. We can find her in the library because she is a librarian. 

In the library, Teacher Hin introduce us to her students. They are Boom, Earn, and Kai. They are so cute and they are trying to help us even though they can’t speak english fluently. They take us to the halal food restaurant and being our translator to buy some food for lunch. Boom is a talkactive person. She asks about everything to us. “I want to speak english fluently,” she said. 

After lunch, we have a school tour. This school has eight buildings and it’s so colorful. It consists of male dormitory, female dormitory, and the classes from Mattayom 1 to 6. Mr. Tiu and the other teachers lead us to building 5. We had a chance to observe how the class is going. The students are so shy and they don’t speak english. We move to primary classes and it’s amazing! The wall is full of designed-worksheet of the student. We met some students playing on the schoolyard. And they are so respect with the teacher.

Teacher Hin will pick us at 4pm. We will go to buy some goods. With the school bus, she takes us to Big C, the department strore in Chiang Rai. I bought a simcard, so do Ella and Rahmi. Then we bought fruits, dairy, and some toiletries. We were on our way to restaurant when i just realized that my simcard is not working. I asked my friends and they simcard is working. We don’t know what to do then decided that we have to go back to Big C on the next day.

We back to our dorm at evening. Then Boom taught us how to do the laundry in this dorm. And we spent about 1 hour at the top of the building to do the laundry while discuss about everything. From the politic, education, until the ridiculous thing. After do the laundry we went back to our room and get some rest.
