Day 2 A kind of routine was there: bringing Önder to the course, walking the dog and teaching B. whatever he likes after his reading session. That day, B did not want to do anything and blocked discussions, did not listen, raised his voice at me. I managed to do a bit of geography, playing his favourite games: "B. doesn’t know and know". The only thing he has to do is to point out on a map where the city, mountains or seas are. As B. did 4 questions in over 30 minutes. Meanwhile the CS were there, so it meant the end of the teaching sessions. The rest of the day was just games, having fun at the pool. The driving was better in the evening, still needed improvement especially the curve at the entry of the school. This time, I arrived up the curve but I bumped into the wall. The same as the day before: nothing happened to me or the wheeler. The decision was taken, I waited for him down the road!!
Week end and last days in Ban Chang
The week end was an easy one despite the heavy rain on Sunday. B. made some progress and has a positive attitude, even on Monday which is usually a black day for him, B came up to me and asked me what we will study? Amazing, our efforts and patience payed off. We hope for his best! The last days were fine, the teaching was great, I kept on jogging and swimming, walking the dogs and driving Önder. Meanwhile Önder had got his Thai massage certificate! Now we can open a Thai massage salon. I also prepared the next trip to Cambodia: Sihanoukville! Here we come! To conclude one month in Thailand: We decided to be in a Westerner environment therefore I did not see much of the culture, but Önder did as he spend about 10 hours in a Thai course amongst Thai people. One month is a bit short to have big picture of Thailand and our experience was limited to one region as well: - western structured (city, bus timetable, supermarket etc) and clean - people are very polite and smile all the time! - Tried to integrate in the society when you are with them. They considered a person a looser when eating on his own.
