Today we went to the coolest market ever: the floating market. Our boats floated serenely over the streets of water. Cheerful Wooden boats floated around, carrying guavas and coconut icecream and warm mangos.The sides of the river were lined with vendors selling trinkets and and coloring pens and fans and bags and and elephant notebooks. An interesting part of it all was the haggling. The shopkeeper would say 400 for a notebook, and then you'd say hmm...., 250? Please? And then you'd keep haggling until you were happy with the price, or until you had absolutely no face to lose anymore. Floating away from the market, I saw a little Thai girl looking out from a window. She saw me looking at her, and waved and smilied at me like I was her long lost friend. I waved and smiled back, with a genuinely warm feeling in my heart.
The next stop was a mall. There was a Thai painting exhibition on the second floor, but everyone sighed and turned away when they found paintings instead of clothes shops, which was rather sad.
The second mall we went to was colossal in every way. Big building, big floors, a big supermarket and a big bookshop absolutely brimming with the most fascinating, absorbing, juicy juicy books. But there was a problem with the mall. The aquarium. Why on earth would there be an aquarium in a MALL? What on earth would over 6000 different sea creatures be living in a concrete builiding? What on earth were penguins doing in Thailand? I didn't even get to go in and see these poor creatures: one ticket cost 990. And still we prance upon the floors of fashion with no idea what twisted thing are going on beneath us.
We bought our own suppers at the mall, and checked in at the new hotel. Tomorrow is another day, and we shall get to know the students of Sarusas Witaed Bathuathong School.
教育旅行已經到了第八天，一大清早我們從臥鋪列車上的臥舖坐起，拉開窗簾，天色尚未亮起，仍然透著一股微微的黑。下了臥鋪、疊了被、刷了牙、洗了臉之後，服務人員很快的就將臥鋪收起，在短短的時間內，一整車廂的臥舖就全都回覆成原先的座椅，我們見識到了服務人員的辛苦與勤快，倍感佩服，
隨著列車的晃蕩，轉眼間便抵達了曼谷，我們魚貫下車接著搭上了巴士準備前往飯店用早餐。飽餐一頓後，我們驅車前往當能莎朵水上市場，體驗一下泰國的傳統市場和臺灣的差別。坐在船上時，船身隨著水波而晃動，時而高時而低，河道兩旁的商店裡東西琳瑯滿目，沿著河道我們瀏覽過那些商品，偶爾停下逛逛，偶爾停下拍照，此趟水上之旅使我們更加了解到泰國的風俗民情。
在抵達餐廳的路途中，車子排成一條長長的車龍，我們的巴士也因此動彈不得，當踏進餐廳的那一剎那，飢腸轆轆的我們迫不及待的添飯開始用餐。一道道的菜上桌之後，滿滿的泰式風味呈現在我們眼前，有微酸的蝦，還有辛辣的炸餅，飯後冰涼的水果消除了我們一整個早上的燥熱，就又回車上了。
在一段漫長的車程之後，到了今天第一個商城，其實這個商城裡藝術品佔了一大部分，在享受逛街的快感之餘，還能一道欣賞精美的藝術品，真是一舉數得啊。離開第一個商城後，此時的時間正好是交通的巔峰期，我們又再一次的被堵在車陣中，當好不容易抵達暹羅廣場時，諾大的建築讓我們一瞬間忘記了塞車的疲憊，眼睛為之一亮，期待著下車之後的大血拼。夜幕低垂，轉眼到了六點了，在商場裡逛了數個小時的我們也開始集合，準備驅車前往飯店休息。到了飯店、放下行囊後，個班開始集合練習明天要表演的歌曲，大家都期待著明天能將最好的表現展現給即將交流的學生們。
