中泰教育旅行，不知不覺已經來到第八天，今天的行程也十分的吸引人。首先，我們先去到了水上市場。導遊說，泰國古代都是在河邊進行買賣的。我們一進到市場，就可以感受到水上市場的熱鬧。水上市場裡大家都是坐船的，擠人的程度和賣的東西都不輸陸上的市場。

接下來在三攀象園用過午餐後，我們去了材料圖書館。聽名字便可以得知，這個圖書館是一個特別的圖書館，讓大家都興奮了起來。這個圖書館，據說已經是一個年代久遠的圖書館了。進到裡面，發現這個圖書館除了有書之外，還有用不同材料製作的藝術品。有布做的、鐵做的、還有一個是用足球的外皮做的。

今天的最後一站，我們來到了泰國的商場。 我發現，原來泰國的商場都用餐卡在美食街購買食物，這點和台灣有很大的不同，裝飾也比台灣宏偉。

最後，我的感想是，國際教育旅行真的是一項好玩又可以學的知識的活動。這次的活動讓我在心態上有了很大的改變，如果願意走出舒適圈，真的可以學到更多，有更多的發現和見識。

這趟旅程已經過了一半，到了今天，我們更懂得珍惜在一起的時光。離開已熟悉的飯店後，坐了將近5小時的車程，雖然途中有些許的休息，導遊也一路細心的講解今天要參觀的景點，學到了許多新知識，但難免還是讓人坐的全身腰酸背痛。

終於熬到了午餐時間，我們吃了港式餐點，因為每個人都是吃到飽，所以吃的很享受，吃飽後就瘋狂的加點入口即化的奶黃包，奶黃包雖然是簡單也常見的食物但大家都吃的津津有味。

再搭了一會兒車程，我們經過了東門、護城河和大塔寺。導覽員跟我們說在城裡的屋子都不能超過五層樓，因為這座泰國北部最高的大塔寺之前有被地震震倒過，導致上半部掉落，後來也沒有修補，為了表示尊敬，那裡的屋子都不能高過長大塔寺。

大熱天拍完照就去坐泰國有名的嘟嘟車了！司機皺著眉頭的在濃濃二氧化碳中帶著我們穿梭，涼風徐徐吹來，在這個大熱天中特別舒服。但不得不說在嘟嘟車的途中有點臭(很臭)，但這個體驗真的很棒，我們可以看到康橋學生從我們身旁經過，不時就跟同學打聲招呼。

到達水果街後，買水果的買水果，有好吃又臭的榴蓮和如同果凍般的椰子。看似認真的同學其實大部分都跑去便利商店吹冷氣，在這裡不只物價低廉，人們還非常的親切。

最後是最精彩的夜舖火車，這是大部分的人第一次的體驗。一上車的氣氛變成是又緊張又興奮，可以在火車中度過一晚真是一個美好的經驗，想像大家一起在火車上度過一晚，有的人會聊天，有的人會玩遊戲，也有的人會到別人那裡亂竄，這些都會是畢旅最特別的一個夜晚。

今天的第一個行程安排我們到白廟參觀，在車上的時候，領隊跟我們分享了許多有關白廟的歷史故事，以及創建的過程。經過了了漫長的3個小時的車程，終於到達了目的地，一下車映入眼簾的是金碧輝煌的裝飾，還有純白色的大寺廟。在參觀的時候，讓我們驚呼連連的是牆上色彩繽紛的壁畫，也一直找尋熟悉的卡通人物或是電影中出現的人物。這間寺廟雖然名為白廟，但附近都有許多銀金色裝飾，更讓這座廟顯得莊嚴與神聖。

接下來我們到了鴉片博物館參觀，裡面講述了有關鴉片的歷史，還有鴉片是如何製作以及傳播的，讓我們對鴉片有了更深的體會，也藉由這個博物館讓同學們知道鴉片是如何深深到影響世人，不只會影響自己的身心靈，還會影響到周遭的親朋好友。緊接著我們到了金三角搭船遊湄公河，金三角是三國的國界所形成的，同時也別具歷史意義。今天的天空很作美，因此河上的景色是一覽無遺，金色的大佛像也矗立在我們眼前，迎著風坐在船上很舒服，有時候也會有海水噴濺上來，是一個很不一樣的體驗。

時間過的很快，中泰教育旅行的行程已經過了一半了。經過了這6天真的增廣了我們的視野，不僅體驗了以前不曾體驗過的東西，也吸收了許多知識，增加了我們人生中不一樣的體驗。相信接下來的旅程中也會有更不一樣的體驗與感受。

On June 21st, the weather today was very sunny. We got up early to have breakfast inside the hotel. The schedule of the day was to visit the best school in Thon Buri — Thewphaingarm. Thewphaingarm is a school that was set up in September 20th, 1975. It was established by Narong Thewphaingram and U-Sa Thewphaingram. At the beginning, the school only have kindergarten. However, they expand the school in 1979 and now included one fitness center, assembly hall, cafeteria, and over 60 classroom. The school covered over 9.2 acres, and over 3000 students. Thewphaingram provides the best education materials and supplies, such as science, calculus and languages lab. The after school club can also help promote students’ interest on music, dance, sports, calculus or even art.

When we arrived the Thewphaingarm, we were led to the assembly hall for the welcoming ceremony. During the ceremony, we introduced our campus and played video about our school. Their school also presented their campus to us. Both our school and Thewphaingram prepared performance. They presented the traditional dancing from both North and middle of Thailand. Students from Kang Chiao prepared different Korean songs to stir up the atmosphere of the whole assembly hall. After both performances, the students taught us the traditional dancing in Thailand and we all danced together in a big circle. There were a lot of people but we had lots of fun.

They led us to the cafeteria for lunch. The students helped to carry the plates for us and gave tissues to us. I felt they are very nice, kind, friendly, polite, and professional. After lunch, the buddy took us to walk around the campus and showed us each classroom. We even went to the Thai Music Classroom to play with different instruments. These are all very cool experiences for me.

Today is the ninth day of our exploration trip in Thailand. During the past few days, we visited many places in Chiangmai and Chingrai, where we learned many Thai cultures.

Yesterday, we finally arrived at Bangkok after riding on the night train. First, we went to visit The Jim Thompson House. The museum was named after its original owner, Jim Thompson, who built the house that later became a museum. The museum gathered up the owner’s art collection, which resulted this place as one of the most popular tourist attraction in Bangkok. Tourists like to visit the Jim  Thompson museum to look at the different art collections that they display. While visiting the Jim Thompson House, we saw many collections that Thompson has, but most of them were damaged before he got the antiques. After visiting the museum, we head back to eat the lunch buffet from the Ramada Plaza Hotel, then we changed into our school uniform for the graduation ceremony in the afternoon.

Everyone were very excited to graduate today. The ceremony starts with the vice principal’s speech, and then the ceremony officially begins. Many outstanding students got awards such as the mayor’s award and service award. When the awarding ended, two students surprised the vice principle by singing a song, then the vice principle gave us a speech which he hopes to inspire us in the future. At last, each class gathered around their homeroom teachers, sharing their words towards those who are leaving.

 After the ceremony, we went to Asiatique. There were many restaurants and stores in Asiatique, we ate at a Thai restaurant. Then we went shopping, and played at the frog jump at the amusement park area. Lastly, we went to see “Muay Thai Live”. From the show we can see that they have very great skills, their performance felt very real. In which we can tell they’ve work very hard to put on such show. I’m very happy that we came to see it.

We woke up at 7:30 with a exciting heart ready for today’s journey. I looked at today’s schedule and I realized we need to cook by ourselves today for lunch. I was worried about it cause I didn’t  know how to cook at all. First we had the breakfast in the hotel. It was delicious I hope it would be as good as my lunch. After we finished breakfast, we have gotten enough energy to start our journey. We left the hotel at 8:50, we went to the cooking class immediately. Arrived at 10:15, we were surprised that we would eat lunch that early because we were still full by now. We started the class and learned how to cook by ourselves, and It’s pretty delicious at that moment I finally released my worry.

  In the afternoon we went to a temple. It’s called Wat Phra That Doi Suthep the speciality of this temple was that there were two dragon in front of the it. We has fun and we went to the observation deck for pictures the view was amazing up there you can see the hole Chiangmai. Suddenly I felt Chiangmai was the prettiest place in the world.

Then we were supposed to go to night animal zoo. I think it was the most exciting part of today. Vice principal said that we were participated very well so he gave us a special opportunity to go shopping in the market. We bought a lot of cookies and fast noodles. Finally we arrived to the night animals zoo. First we went to see the carnivore animal, it’s a special experience to get that close to rare animal, and then we went to see the tigers show it’s amazing to see that ferocious animal to be obedient by its master. I would never forget what I have been thought today, and I would remember how fun is it in Chiangmai. I wish I have another chance to come to Chiangmai again!

In the morning, we went from our hotel to the Mae-Ping river. We were going to raft at the Mae-ping river. Although we waited for a long time, the rafting experience was amazing for every one of us. Before rafting, we had to listen and learn the instructions of rafting from the coaches. They taught us the way of paddling and the correct position when we heard “stop”. We started to use the paddles to splash water during the rafting. When we moved past the big rocks and the water flow, everyone felt very excited and interested. 
    After another Thai-flavored lunch, we were led to watch the elephant show. At the beginning, I was called up to perform with the elephant. The elephant used his trunk to put a straw hat on my head and kissed my cheek. Then, our teacher bought bananas and sugar cane for us to feed the elephants. After watching the elephant show, we went to ride an elephant! This is one of the most anticipating activities listed in my educational trip this time. Since the elephant is about 2.5 meters tall, we were very far from the ground. As long as the elephant took one step forward, I felt that I was going to fall down. However, the whole process was extremely exciting and happy. Along the way, the coach of the elephant talked with us very happily. He said that the girls in Taiwan were very beautiful and he imitated our words because we were screaming the whole time! After the end of the elephant ride, I want to leave a good memory there, so my friend and I bought a photo the people there helped us take of. On our way back to our last stop for the imperial dinner, I think the picture they took for us friends is the most meaningful for us to record our memory.
    At night, we went to a fancy restaurant to enjoy “Khantoke”, where everyone sat on the floor having dinner while there were actors and actresses performing their traditional northern Thai dance show about folk stories. We even went to the center and danced with the performers when we finished our dinner. This was definitely an exciting experience for all of us. I think we would like to go again next time.

We’d probably look back on for as many times as we could when we’re back to Taiwan.

The forth day of this educational trip is filled with students’ curiosity and excitement; where everyone was talking about how it would be so special to ride on an elephant with their friends for the very first time. As we arrived the elephant training school, the teacher led us to the area where we would line up and wait for our turn to ride on an elephant. We were all extremely excited for this experience. It was somewhat terrifying to ride on an elephant as we were basically bumping left and right that we’d need to use our muscle to balance ourselves. Nonetheless, it was enjoyable. While we scream, complain, laugh, etc, we were all creating memories that will never be forgotten. After that, we went to eat lunch, and the lunch was different from Taiwan, but was unique that we could only taste in Thailand. Later on, we wait to go rafting. We actually waited for a very long time because the weather was terrible and the cars were somehow stuck on the mountain. After almost an hour of waiting, the cars got back and drove us up to the mountain. We got all “armed” and prepared to go rafting, and it was like a training for us; my muscles were sore after that, but it was very fun. We became all sleepy and lazy after all, so we went back to the bus and slept for almost two hours, and arrived the dining place. The food was soooo spicy, that I didn’t eat much, but the time spent with friends were precious. We played truth and dare, and recorded several hilarious videos, that we’d probably look back on for as many times as we could when we’re back to Taiwan. It was so far the best day.

On the third day of the graduation trip, all the ninth graders pass through custom successfully in the airport. After the long three hours flight, we finally landed in Thailand, a warm tropical country in Asia. While in Thailand, we live in the Holiday Inn. The moment I walk in the hotel, the immense lobby astonished me, and the busboy welcome us with enthusiasm. The dinner in the hotel was flawless. The restaurant serve delicious food including steaks, crabs, tuna, and all other kind of cuisine. After the dinner, we return to our room. The size of the restroom make us speechless, it’s bigger than my own room in Taiwan. Overall, I think the facility of the hotel is immaculate, and the manner of the receptionists are affable.

On the third day of the trip, we spent most of the time on the boarding, the experience on the plane impressed me. Today's plane is flying on Cathay Pacific and flies from Hong Kong to Chiang Mai. When we first got on the plane, there were friendly flight attendants greeting us, but what surprised me, even more, was that the radio mentioned the name of our school. When the plane started to fly, I  sit beside the window and see the sea of ​​clouds and entire Hong Kong when I was flying. After that, I felt very sleepy. So I slept for a while, and when I woke up, the flight attendants took a meal, although the taste was not so good. However, I felt the hard work of the service staff. After this, most people fell asleep, when I tried to go to the toilet, I have to cross two person, which was very difficult, because of space is really small, I think they should improve it. And experience on the plane that impressed me.

Two days has passed and today is the third day of our 9th grade graduation trip. Our schedule today was very simple, we just need to take a ride from Shenzhen to Hongkong then take a plane to Chiangmai in Thailand. Yesterday we visited the branch school of the Beijing university in Shenzhen and went to the biggest electronic/technology mall in Shenzhen to learn about the improvements and developments of Shenzhen and China. My mom came to see me from tuesday afternoon to today morning, she has been working in Dongguan, Guangdong for a long time and I have not seen her for about three to four months. She also woke up early to have breakfast with us in today's morning and sent me to the bus. We went on the bus at 9 o'clock in the morning and took the bus for abou 45 minutes to the customs office of Shengzhen and Hongkong. We then took the bus again for almost one hour to arrive at the Hongkong airport. After passing the customs office at the airport, we took the money that the teacher gave us in the bus to have lunch. However, because there were so many people at the airport, we took a long time to find a place to eat lunch. After lunch, we took the airport bus to boarding gate. We get on board at 3:00 and took the flight for about three hours and we finally arrived in Chiangmai. We then met our new guide and took a bus to the hotel that we are living in today, we had dinner and went to our own room later. Overall today was a simple but busy day, I am now looking foward to tomorrow's activities and hoping that tomorrow is a great day too.

I realized just how big the world was

撰寫班級: 9B

    Hot, heavy clouds hung low over our heads as we entered the schoolyard. Two rows of young girls stood at attention on either side of our path, welcoming us. The opening ceremony and school tour blurred past in seconds; soon we were heading to our shared classes. Though the students were friendly and eager to work with us, the introductions and the games we played were one-sided. I felt awkward sitting wth a group of strangers that would probably remain strangers. The tone of their lessons and the atmosphere of their classroom was mostly controlled by the students, rather than the lesson or teacher, which was not something we were really used to. Halfway through class they would also stand up, stony faced and serious, to perform eye relaxation exercises, which I'd never seen before. The difference between our lives and customs shocked me and I realized just how big the world was. Their performances on stage were spectacular and unique, and the day ended with a bang. A couple of the girls in my class even took photos and exchanged numbers with their 深圳 group mates. I went into the school with a lack of anticipation and uncertainty in my heart; but I left with a new perspective of how schools and societies from different countries functioned.

2018中泰國際教育旅行Day1

An extraordinary experience 

撰寫班級: 9A

The first day of our educational trip was an extraordinary experience for all of us, in which unforgettable memories were created by us together. As we arrived at HongKong international airport, the magnificence totally impressed and astonished us. Although the temperature was really high that we were all complaining, the melting temperature was forgotten due to the stunning views around. The time we spent on the gondola was especially fascinating. We waved to all the passengers in the passing gondolas with passion, and they waved back to us, which excited us a lot. As we proceeded on our journey, we experienced new culture and environment. I once thought on the bus that it is fairly easy to cross the border between HongKong and Shenzhen, however, it was much more difficult and complicated than we had thought. We went off the bus, through a bid building with customs, then went on the bus again. Shenzhen was a completely new city for me. I was unfamiliar with everything here, which includes simplified Chinese, since this is the first time I was in China. I was curious about the surroundings, the culture, and everything here in Shenzhen. Even though people said that Taiwanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine are similar in terms of flavor and style, what we had for dinner were entirely distinctive dishes. However, I can strongly feel how China’s service in restaurants differs from the ones in Taiwan. We got a better service, a more delicate one, allowing us to have a more pleasant eating time. After dinner, we saw a lot of technological stores, such as phone and camera stores. We were dazzled by how advanced Shenzeng was, which changed our point of view, a not so good perspective towards China. In conclusion, the journey today brought us new experiences, including new cultures and views.
