*Taught at an English camp in a really small town: My roommate and I rode in a truck bed to a small town 3 hrs away and spent a day with a bunch of kids playing games and singing English songs. The kids weren't much younger than myself, but they were all so happy to be there (even though it was a Saturday and they didn't have to be at school that day). It was a really neat experience, especially since my team of kids WON! (The powder on my face is from a game.)*Tropical Ecology field trip (4 days) to a small island in the South: very primitive! We showered with a hose, and after the sun went down, we had to use candles to get around. We went trekking through the rainforest--way cool--for 2 full days and walked through a gypsy village (below). What made it so interesting were the dynamics of the group, which included my professor's friends... It was definitely the coolest field trip I've ever been on.
The view from our bungalow/hut on stilts (up on a hill) made up for what the inside of out bungalow looked like:
Impromptu soccer game on the beach with all the locals...they swam up from their longtail boats. Jill and Skye joined in:
Making our way to the beach:
It was quite exhausting, especially since we had to lug around our snorkel gear. (Not all the terrain was this flat, and there weren't always defined trails either. We had an awesome young guide though):
Taking a quick break:
There was a lit of this:
This Thai lady just gave me her granddaughter and then left! (The dad who looked like he was 15, but still a very caring father, came and got her a little later):
