I LOVE LAOS SO MUCH!
the whole trip was just beyond words. okay i will need to talk about what's the whole purpose of the trip. obviously, it's a missionary trip. ROBERT JR. BECAME A CHRISTIAN! long story.
okay my mum invited them after the party on saturday to come to church with us on sunday then we'll go out and eat together, so she gave them our address. only a few people like alfred, robert jr and hannah wanted to go. so we were pretty disappointed. then on sunday morning, we saw loads of other classes students coming, and like none of our class people were there. then suddenly... WE SAW A TRUCK FULL OF OUR CLASS PEOPLE ENTER THE HOTEL! george stood up and shouted 'MUMMYYYYY!"
george is this really adorable gay. he is 101% sissified, the way he talks, body contact, even the way he runs. and when we were supposed to blow balloons to decorate the class he used them as fake boobs. awesome.
yeah so in church i was talking to robert jr about john 3:16, trying to evangelise. hahahahahhaa, SUCCESSFUL! a few of them did the sinners prayer thing. i was pretty happy.
sad to say, that really wasn't the highlight of the whole trip. there's no highlight! everyday is just HYPERNESS!
our class name was "The Best", obviously, the ego had to have come from
somebody.our cheer:
THE BEST, GO GO!
THE BEST, FIGHT FIGHT!
THE BEST, WIN WIN!
*cheeeeeers*
everything and anything leads to this: *clap* OH *clap* OH *clap* OH! hard to explain, but yeah.
and i've actually learnt how to dance. laos people love dancing!!! so on the second or third day, we went over to robert jr's dormitory and just started blasting music. random people just came along and joined the little party. so there was robert jr, ken, steven, peter, john, lisa, anna, parti, peckee, and loads of people!
and they didn't let me try laos wine. it's called lao lak or something like that. BUT I TRIED BEERLAO! without them looking. they're all super protective. so i had zero chance to drink alcohol.
ohoh and there was a christmas party on saturday, so our class, wanted to go to buy ingredients to cook papaya 'slad'(supposed to be salad but that's how they pronounce it). so five students picked us up at 4am and we went to the morning market together!
imagine that! waking up at 3am. and i learnt how to cook! AND I SAT ON A MOTORBIKE! finallyyyyyyyyyy. robert jr and i secretly went out, he brought me to the market, to the university of laos, and to his parents place. i did get caught by my brother later on :/
this whole trip is just so hard to put into words. the bond i have with the students, i'm just so emotionally attached to them! i'm still smsing and emailing loads of them in fact.
i love laos so much! and i'm going back next yearrr! i promised robert jr anw.
