What I've been asked the most so far is 'Why are you going to Thailand? Why aren't you just going to a beach to soak in the sun, relax, and have fun?'
Why Thailand?

| Jerry: Bangkok |
First of all Thailand isn't new to me. I graduated from high school there in... well take my word for it - it was long, long ago. Checkout the picture of me in our driveway.
Another reason is that Thailand is a beautiful place full of beautiful, smiling people. I was there for a year. I saw a lot and did a lot. This is my first trip back. I've put a few photos below to reflect my time there in the mid sixties.

Being a teenager, I missed a lot. I have a lot of the explorer in me and a lot of giving in me. So, I'm going to travel, serve, and reflect on it all.

ReplyDeleteI especially enjoyed seeing the people in their environment. It really gives one a better flavor of what the country personality it like.

Hi, I finally had a chance to check out the blog. Great pictures and sounds like you are having fun! I enjoyed the story about teaching the teenagers the word for teenagers :) Vocab and comprehension are often tough areas for my students! Keep up the good work :)
