<3 chiangmai! was a short six days, but the memories were precious. MY PRECIOUS! didnt really like their english standards though.

so on day two, we took this modified lorry-to-taxi thingy? damn cool! out packs were on top, and there's the bandana freak : D *keeps mum to name.
all the way to the village taking a hell lotta time. bt we stopped by the waterfall, where i went crazy climbing up and down the waters! freaking cool.


of course, its our school males, so not all were spontaneous enough to get wet? but those bastards got drenched by the rain anyway xD

how basic can my first night out get! at least there were power outlets, but chuan han didnt bring his ipod charger xD stayed up talking about the ghost in the crack, the pig ghost, the toilet ghost and the coconut tree ghost! : D we had hewlett out cadet guard us for the night. yeap!


isnt she like the cutest!(oops not really. : D) she tried to sell me stuff the next morning, but i resisted, since a WHOLE bunch of kids came last night to sell me stuff too! hurrah for thai hilltribes, they're so hospitable.
and we trekked. desperate for a clean shower. all the way from karen to palong village!

spent two days at palong, first day TRYING to get a clean shower, second day doing tasks. i was assigned to chop lumber, otgether with the trackers, whom which i cut a humongous tree with.
well there was the cross country guys who relied on stamina,
the canoeing guy who relied on his abs,
the sprinters to chop super fast,
the jumpers to... jump and cut? HAHA.
then there was the shot put guy who finished it all.
TIMBERRR!
too bad i didnt bring my camera along to woodcutting. it was really fun. dirty. haha!

climax of the camp was the campfire. i went totally crazy just dancing with jon and the others! it was so fun, the campfire resembled the one i had in china, the warmth felt amidst the cold mountains was a sensation that made the whole trip worthwhile

nothing beats dancing around the fire! hahha.

and nothing beats the gifts i had for the children. the nicest plushies! haha.


spent the second last day at elephant camp. the elephants were freaking greedy! chomped down the whole fucking bunch of bananas at one go. almost wanted to slap the elephant's ass! cj was riding it like a horse, so the elephant got pissed and injured my balls with its spine bone.

IT STILL HURTS!


made up for the pain by riding on another elephant later on. HAHA.

chiangmai, with the sounds, the trees, the mud, the babes, elephants, bridge, guys, teachers.
it was goooooooooooood.
