Friendship forged during the trip...

We were really fortunate to have travelled to Thailand as Rotaractors...

I think despite of all the cheap bargains we got from all the night markets, china town and so on... 1 thing we earn from this trip that no other travelling agency is able to provide is FRIENDSHIP...

Firstly, friendship among ourself... For me personally, I wouldn't have known all 9 rotaractors and 2 advisors from RACUTP better if not for this trip. Especially Ashley, Kee Hui, Bismo, and Mr. Zul who joined us rotaracting for the first time. It's fun and interesting to know the funny and crazy character of Ashley. I can't forget how one time she was acting out a mime all by herself on the main street in front of MFLU. She was describing the scenario: What would happen at home if Kee Hui were to go CARI MAKAN in future? It was really creative. It's also very interesting to get to know Mr. Zul as a friend, he can be the funniest poser in the group. wait wait... let me upload some example..

Other than getting to know members from RACUTP better, we also get a chance to meet students and rotaractors from Thailand, both in Chiang Rai and Bangkok. If we have not travelled to Thailand as Rotaractors, we wouldn't have met such wonderful people. I would like to express my thanks to Rotaractors in Bangkok; despite having their exams, they still came early in the morning and meet up with us and brought us to the hotel... of course not forgetting the fact that they are so kind to help Rotarian to carry his luggage. On another occasion in Chiang Rai, Jared (an American student studying in MFLU) was so nice to have invited us to his house for a Barbeque Party.

For the rest of the trip in Thailand, we pretty much get to know each other better. Getting chance to spend time together in the train and behind the truck makes a lot of difference in this trip i think. If not for all the time we have from the travelling, we wouldn't have much time to share our thoughts and experiences with each other. I hope after the trip, everyone will continue to keep in touch. For those of you that are graduate (Bismo and Qi Hua), good luck in your future endeavour and remember to keep in touch with us and keep urself updated with the club's activities. And for those still in UTP ... Keep rotaracting...

I think this is another good reason for joining Rotaract... :)
