This week just gone I took a trip to Kutchum, to see my
friends Tara and Phoebe, other PT volunteers, at their project.
My school (Uthaiwittayakhom) was off for three days
(Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) because so many staff and students were going
off to a big competition in Phrae, a northern province, to compete against
other schools in areas like English, Maths, and knowledge of ASEAN. My host
sister was competing in the storytelling category, after having progressed from
the previous stage in a nearby competition in March. Tonicha decided to go
along with the competition, while I thought I’d go somewhere seen as I now had
five days off…
