Seven busses full of tired Thai students and their teachers just arrived at the school campus. We have spent the day at a "Walk Rally" for Freshman Orientation at Dream World, Bangkok's answer to Disney World. The walk rally consisted of the freshmen breaking into 15 teams. Each was given a map of the theme park with 15 stations where they had to do team building exercises. After finishing, they had an hour or so to ride the rides.
The ajarn (teachers), on the other hand, all spent the entire day sampling the rides. By the end of the day, not only was I exhausted, but I was also a bit nauseous from being turned upside down and thrown around. Or was my stomach ache from the huge cotton candy I woolfed down? In either case, I had a fun time getting to know both fellow teachers as well as new students.
