Izaac’s Bangkok Trip Reflections:

The name of the orphanage is Rangsit Baby Home. We went there to learn how to take care of young children and how fortunate we are to have our parents. We also went to Kanchananburi. It was 2.5 h drive. I wa shocked to hear the name “Death Railway” Many people built the railway and died. I loved the train ride from Thakiren to Wangpo. On 4th September, we went to Ayutthaya history learning centre and Bang Pa summer palace. We also saw a big Buddha statue and learned about the war with the Burmese army. The king’s temple was burned.

Keene’s Bangkok Trip Reflections:

The children live very simply at the orphanage, not like us. We have many things they do not have or may not be able to afford.

Hui Xin’s Bangkok Trip Reflections:

We performed “Singapore Town” at the orphanage. My partner has long straight hair with a cute and chubby face. She is 4 years old but I do not know what is her name as I do not know how to ask her in Thai. I enjoyed the trip on the 4th September when we visited the Bang Pa-In palace and the Phra Thinang varobhas Bimarn, Resident Hall. I also learnt about the memorial to Princess Saovabhark Nariratana and the 3 royal children. On another day, we visited the Thai Human Imagery Museum and learned about world famous personalities.

Jocelyn’s Bangkok Trip Reflections:

It was my first time taking a plane. It was very “cool”, for I got to experience how it was like on a plane. I also learned many things. I enjoyed the railway walk the most although it was scary. I felt guilty for dropping my friend’s Angry Bird fan. It was a long journey to the wax museum but it was worth it. The figures were made from wax and they looked like real people. At the orphanage, my buddy was Santang and she is a very nice girl. The orphans were pitiful and it’s a trip worth remembering.
