A visit to Taiwan at the Chinese school in Thailand while speaking English

Confusing? Well, let me explain. Ok so January 31, there was this performance at Terra's school, which is a Chinese school, where she teaches and she invited me and Becca to join her and Teep to the performance. It was a singing group from Taiwan and the whole performance was about Taiwan and the culture there and the villages there. The whole program that they gave to us was in English and they even spoke in English a couple times. And this was all happening in the beautiful country of Thailand :) I thought it was so cool to have all the cultures mixed together!

We decided that we would all go and we took 10 kids with us. It was so fun, because we decided we would take 10 of the younger kids with us because they don't usually get to go places! We all went out for dinner and we all ate Pad Thai. I got the kids some cookies for dessert and they loved it! When we got to the performance, each of us adults made sure we always had two kids in hand. I loved walking with my two kids in hand- I had Sootrachai and Gafe. They were the two youngest kids, so I held them tight! The kids are so funny! We have two who are like best friends- Paradorn and Nowah and they were cracking me up the whole time! The girls were too! I just love all of them so much!

While we waited for the show to start, Terra gave us a tour of her school and we went into the classroom where she teaches. We had time to kill, so we played scharades with the kids! They loved it!

The performers from Thailand did an awesome job and they sang really, really well! It was just a wonderful time with the younger kids. I decided that I'm going to make it a point to take all the kids, at least once, for dinner in Mae Sot. It's such an awesome bonding time with the kids! I loved it!

What a blessing for the younger children to experience. And to take them out for dinner on top of it. What a treat.
