Day 8 in Thailand: University Life (7/22/2008)


Today is Rene's last day of training. I have already partially packed our things. We did not have anything planned for today so I just called Orfa to ask if we can join them for dinner for our last night. She suggested we go to the nearby Thammasat University with them and just have photo ops around the campus. That was a great idea.

After their office work and meeting with Loren Legarda who visited AIT that afternoon, we all got together at our room where they lent us one of Orfa's bike and we proceeded to bike to Thammasat University.


The bikers


Thammasat stadium and the poles used for the different flags of competing nations


Another side of the stadium and fooling around more poles


Not sure what this is for but it makes me think of Rapunzel's tower =)


The BKK grill (if i'm not mistaken) where we had our affordable steak dinner


The models in flesh and shadow... me kasama pang aso?! =)


More fooling around at the university... mastering the spirit ball shot

The university is huge, which reminds me of my college days at UP. We noticed that buildings were marked as say, Faculty of Engineering instead of College as in the Philippines. Most of the students here also use the bike as their means of transportation (as well as in AIT). That's good for nature and for the health.

We ended the night with an ice cream break by the 108 store in AIT, courtesy of Anne. It feels good to meet fellow Filipinos abroad. Getting to know them in a few days already feels as if you've known each other for a long time. We're very grateful for all the help and companionship that our AIT friends have extended to us during our stay.
