Review

So Gap Guru have asked me to give you guys a story or two whilst leaving a quick review...No words can express the fantastic experience I had in Thailand but I'll give it a go:

My journey began when I was teaching at a nursery school in chiang mai. Having never taught ever before, I was a bit apprehensive, to say the least, to be teaching in a class of 20-30 kindergarteners!!...however, when I saw the looks of curiosity and wonderment, not to mention their cheeky little smiles, I knew I would enjoy my experience ...and by heck I did!!

My favourite story to share would be in the nursery at the buddhist monastery in Doi Saket. I got 7-8 children to sit down with musical instruments...and we got a (sort of) band going!!! It was soo cool and some of them were really quite good!...i seriously think we've got some future musicians in there!

On the weekend I went zip lining, as incredible experience it was (especially for adrenalin junkies!!) I happened to ram my left hand into one of the railings and it obviously swelled up :\...I knew it wasn't injured too badly but the volunteer interns said rather be safe then sorry and took me to the hospital the next day to get it all checked out. They sorted everything out and sat with me, eyeing up all the doctors, playing stupid music etc...they made me feel at ease, in a different country when I was a tad vulnerable!...they were kinda like my friends at home :)...home from home!

I ended up my trip at koh phangyan...for the full moon party - insanely, insanely awesome!!...and a fantastic end to my two weeks...I would definitely recommend volunteering with Gap Guru to anyone!!

Khop kum kha gap guru!
