Well I am officially at my placement here in Thailand! I feel like so much has happend already! I will go over the major things. Firstly, I spent about 22 hours on planes! From Orlando to LA, from LA to Tokyo, and from Tokyo to Bangkok. In Tokyo I wasn't aware I would have to change planes. So after going to the wrong place and eventually making my waz to security I was still confused. Apparently, the confusion look works for me because a wonderful Japanese woman, dressed in pink, approached me and told me I looked lost, so she would help me. She literally ran me all the way to my plane and I was the last person they let board! It was a miracle.
I got to Bangkok finally, got some sleep, and then spent the next day touring the city. Seeing the Great Temple and the biggest buddah in the world!
I ate some tasty Thai food and had a blast. Now, I am at my placement in Chiang Mai. There are other volunteers here. We all sleep in the same room... cozy lol. I talked to the directors about filming a amateur documentary. They are very excited about it. However, i just came across a problem. When I first got my camera I charged it up and found that I was given a bad battery. In Bangkok I was able to get a new battery. I just finished charging it up and put it in. After 4 minutes it came witha sign that said this battery is not compatible, and turned off. Blah. I don't know what I will do about this now. Hmm... problem.
Other than that things are great. I am trying to adjust. This language barrier thing is more difficult than I imagined. Thanks for all the love and support everyone! Until next time!
Man, I just commented and it deleted my comment :/. Annnyways, I hope you can find a camera battery online my dear, that so unfortunate. I love how you almost missed your plane in Tokyo! It's just what your story of your trip to Thailand needs! lol. That's so cool you've already went and saw that Buddah. I want to hear about what your home and surroundings is like, I can't wait! Also about your roomies! I miss you and you are so brave!
