The Last Hurrah!
As a World Teach Volunteer I have had specific responsibilities to the organization throughout the year including my TEFL work, weekly and monthly check-ins with my field director and meetings. We had our month long orientation in October, a Mid-Service meeting in March and two weekends ago our End of Service meeting. This one was the shortest, mostly because we had very little actual administrative work to accomplish and no TEFL work. It was mostly one last chance for us to get together in Nakhon Phanom as a group. Sadly, two volunteers who I became very close with were already traveling back to or in America for Grad school and were not there. Regardless it was a very nice weekend. We had lunch as a group and then spent Saturday afternoon getting some administrative things finished, watching the slideshow Jes made for us, and receiving our T-shirts and TEFL certificates. Then it was off to the boat ride along the Mekong and dinner at our favorite Korean BBQ joint "ONION". We gave the restaurant this name because the Thai script of it's real name looks like the word "onion".
*** Due to technical difficulties I am unable to upload pictures to the blog right now so here are some short anecdotes from the night sans photo ... sorry!
Rambo (our police officer friend) missed the boat - but don't worry! He simply climbed on the immigration boat to Laos and ordered the tourist boat to come back for him! mai pen rai!
Korean BBQ is one of my favorite new food things since arriving in Thailand. It involves a personal grill with a bowl around it filled with boiling water. In the "dome" part you can grill meats while the fats drip into the water to create a delicious broth to cook noodles and vegetables in. YUM!
Lastly, I wanted to show a picture of my "team" from dinner, i.e. the 4 people that eat off the same grill. We all get assigned jobs to make the most of our eating experience ... someone gets meats, another gets vegetables and herbs, someone else is in charge of noodles and eggs and lastly, someone gets plates, utensils, and sauces. Teamwork is the way to go here!
