DAY 2
Sawadee Kha :D
Sabai Di ? J
In this oportunity i would like
to continue my stories about my experiences in Thailand
July,
18th 2016 actually Monday, was my second day i stayed in Thailand. This was also my first time to
knew about Thepsatri Rajabhat University (TRU)
directly. In this time we as Indonesian students for TRU would like to introduce our selves and we
would also get so many information about Thailand especially about Lopburi and
TRU it self, so this day was our orientation day in TRU for SEA-Teacher Project
of SEAMEO.
In
the morning we had prepared our selves in Teptani hotel, we used formal uniform
as well as posible and of course we used our university’s coat, so that there
were six colours of coat at the day. I used Pasundan University’s coat, it’s
colour was green, Andini from UNY was
blue, Balqis from UPI was gray, Faurina from UNLAM was yellow, Fakhri from UII
was blue it’s like Andini’s coat, and Aziz from UNS was green but this green
was different green with the colour that I used.

We
tried to still relax although maybe we really so nervouse at that time,
especially for Me, I couldn’t explain
how my feeling well and clearly it was, but it’s too amazing and awesome day.
This day we would meet with any important people of TRU that joined to the
program. They were our coordinator, mentors, teacher of the school that would
be our practicum school and etc.
The
meeting room of the day was near from the hotel, we just had to walked any
minutes, but before going to the room we went to Seven Elephant as one of a
famous market Thailand for buying some foods, and there were two Seven Elephants
near around the campus. This worning was our first time to breakfast in this
country, we looked around the market, yeaay it made us happy because many Halal foods that we
could find in this place. We, all the students of TRU team were Moslem, so we
had to eate Halal food. So that when we could find Halal foods, it would be our
happiness so much.
After
finding our foods we were picked up by Mr. Aj. Lookin, he was one of the teacher
from Satit School, he also would be one our mentor. He was looked so kind and friendly. We went to the meeting
room of the orientation after knowing each other. When we arrived to the room,
we so felt amazing. There’s welcoming ceremony. First, there was welcoming
speech from Asst. President of TRU, and the introduction of any mentors,
coordinators and others.

Chintana Vechmee
We
introduced our own selves, so excited
!!!, we informed our major, university,
province, and anything that we wanted to talk. One by one of us did that so
happily.
The Introduction of Indonesian Students
The
next one is, about the orientation of everything about Thai, especially the
traditions, foods, regions of Thai and etc. It was told by Mr. Jack as deputy of director from The Lenguage Center of
TRU, also as our coordinator in TRU. We got many important information from him. I still remembered, he
told that there were four period when we stayed for one month in Thai, first
was honey period, second was justification period, third was adaptation period, and the last one was
honey period again. So from what i had heard if we could respect
and adapt well we could find honey period again after doing those step
by step. At that time Mr. Aj. Lookin as one of a teacher in Satil School as i
had told before, gave us information about type of Thai Lesson Plan, the
schedule of us when we did the practicum period in that school and so on. We also got souvenirs from TRU,
we thanked for it very much.

President gave the souvenir)

One
by one the opening and welcoming ceremony were done, after that we went to Islamic
restaurant. Aaaah we really felt awesome because all of the mentors,
coordinator were very responsible and showed us their rescpect more and more. They knew about such kind of our obligation in our
religion, for example they knew what food that we didn’t eat, they knew we had
to pray for anytime in a day and etc. When we were eating, we were surprised bacause they joked so cute, it made us laugh
again and again. It was different with what i had imagined before, i though
that they would be so serious, formal, and something like that. But i was
wrong, really really wrong because everything was not like that. They were so
kind, friendly, cute and good in mastery
of joking :D
