Day 15 (04 Dec, Tuesday)

When we left for the airport, we were almost half an hour behind time. So it was a rushed trip to the airport.

We all decided to wear the ‘Same same but different’ t-shirts we bought as our Soymilk team t-shirts were already worn and dirty. Surprisingly, no one cried at the airport… no teary goodbyes for us. Because most of us would probably head for Chiang Mai again and experience P’ Robert’s new house.

What we’ll miss is the people. Most of them could not see us off as they had school… and Evan is ‘super, super, super sad.’

The cool weather and the low humidity. The cold wind lashing at our faces. Truck rides with loud singing and clapping. Table tennis. Late night devotionals. Warm kaya bread and milk drinks from P’ Little’s stall. Shopping. Baw Gaew kids. So many memories. So little time to write.

This AME was packed full of activities. We did a lot of the organizing like the English camp at Baw Gaew school, the English camp at the Zone and the Talent Nite… kept us busy for most of the time but we’ll always find time to eat, hang out with the Thais… especially with snacks at night.

Looking out at the fluffy clouds outside the airplane window, we realize how we have grown in so many ways... we have definitely come a long way from when we left and traveled in the opposite direction 2 weeks ago… It’s always amazing how much we can do and experience in just 2 weeks away from home… Thank God for the 2 uncles and Uncle Robert for making this trip possible.
