English Competition in Lampang



There was an English competition at a school in Lampang and me, Pi Nid and a bunch of students went. The competition had all types of categories like impromptu speech, spelling contest, scrabble contest, story telling and a bunch of other stuff that I had no clue about. I was really excited to go, but when I got there I was a bit disappointed. The teachers weren't allowed in the classrooms that the students were performing in. So the students performed infront of three judges and that was it. My day was spent sitting outside of a classroom watching my student talk through a window. After that, Pi Nid and I walked around a market. That is what the pictures are of. The market was in a dusty field. Safe to say it was pretty dirty. On the way back Pi Nid and I rode in back of open bus for three hours. It was the longest three hour ride of my life. All in all I left my apartment at 5am and got back at 6:30pm. Long Tuesday, but on the bright side I got Wednesday off because it was a national holiday.
