A Wonderful Trip

Last Thursday, March 26 was my birthday and we had the chance to visit a very known place in Thailand. It's first time for us to go there as a family so everyone was quite excited!

It's a place of comfort for some but a place of tragedy for others. It had been struck by tsunami 5 years ago. But now, it's starting to recover. How we wish we're able to visit the tsunami spot but due to our schedule we had not seen the place.

However, the place is nice and we saw a lot of foreigners in the area. Traveling was not as easy because it's quite far but the kids had fun.

A Trip to Pattalung Province

Teaching English to Thailand is great. We've been here in for quite sometime, and we had enjoyed seeing the different tourist spots.

Last week we've been to Pattalung Province. We taught in the school for one week. It's been a great experience for us, seeing the excitement of the teachers and the students as well. They love to learn English conversation.

But traveling is not as easy.We need to travel for two hours before reaching that place. But it's fun. On the way, we took some pictures ...

I will try to send next time because I find it hard to upload this time.

Trip to Phuket

Phuket, Thailand is known for it's name. I guess, people from other countries have already heard this place. A lot of people were saying "this is a nice place," others would say differently. For me, I'm excited because I haven't been to that place. As I heard from my students, it's a great place. I can tell you that place too when I will be there.

It's a blessing to see different places. You will see the beauty of creation, you will have a glimpse of how it looks and enjoy being there. We are a family of nature lovers, so it's easy for us to launch and enjoy!

For me, it's a privilege to be in another country, you will taste different food, see a different place and enjoy, and meet new friends. It's great!

The Cheapest Place in Town

When we came to Hatyai, a couple of years ago, we went to different places and found the place where we could buy cheaper ones.

Yesterday, we went to the place where a lot of people are coming on weekends. They call it "Asian Trade" Whatever you desire to buy they have it and cheaper than others. But you need to be very patient in looking for the thing you need to buy because it's quite large.

I enjoy buying there - our son AJ was also enjoying because he could play with others. There is a place for children to play and enjoy. But it's quite far from the city proper. I think you will enjoy if you're here!

Anyway, that's only one part of Thailand. This Thursday we'll be going to another place and stay there until Sunday. I will share the picture next time.

My New Found Badge

For the past weeks I've checked my friend's blog because I also wanted to have my own badge. My friend and I were just newbies to blogging so from time to time we asked each of what to do. Then I tried clicking and found out this badge.

I'm very excited to have my own badge but it takes time for me because I'm quite busy these weeks. After a couple of weeks, I checked again, then I've found this Zakka life site which is helpful and easy without knowing more about HTML, I've found this site through a friend at His-Her Story. It's nice to have friends online indeed! Thank you for the help.

Another site that is helpful for me, and you can search it too at Comment Box Colors. You can select the button of your choice and make some editing. You really find it enjoyable and resourceful.

Today I'm excited to post my badge. Hope it's already okay.

Genting Getaway

It's always fresh in my mind our Genting exploration. Genting is one of the tourists spot in Malaysia where a lot of people especially tourists are coming and enjoying the great view of the place. There were great Hotels and shows around the place. Just imagine it's on top of the mountain with clouds and fogs.
We had been to different places around Genting Highlands. We also took some rides - a lot of them. Our kids really enjoy that much! When you're there as if you are in a different world- a world of fantasies. However, life must go on, so we need to go back after a few days.
Coming down from the highlands was another great experience. We took a cable car and we passed through high mountains, my nerves were trembling while passing the mountains - it was a great journey for us as a family. And it's fun!
