Chula vs Thammasat

It was the day where 2 rival universities battled it out for the coveted soccer title. The preparation and the event was HUGE! It was like National Day or something.


Michael Jackson, get out of MY way.










I am a gay-sha.


My friend Maa again.



Thammasat representitive. He's BLOODY TALL! Yes. HE.



Let the games begin!


The Korean representatives.




My Info Sys class chickiessss.


We're gonna win baby.






0-0


Korean on the loooooooose.



Hmm... Somebody got lost I think.


Say no to alcohol. That was their campaign.


No terrorism.











The pink brigade.




Despite having drawn 1-1, it was certainly a heart-stopping game to say the least.

After a long, sweaty day, I just can't wait to get out of my "girl" t-shirt. That's because the t-shirt for guys were already sold out. I bought the BIGGEST size for ladies. And that is like "S" for guys.


Somebody please play with Chol-Su.


Gotta go. Tired already. I'm losing my flexibility but at least I still have the flair like a ballerina.

Alone

I love taking long walks alone and just absorb the environment. Looking at people and just observe their daily routines. As what my prof informed me, the number of police officers in Thailand are more than Germany and Italy combined together. Can you believe that. As I was walking towards, MBK, a European backpacker who was looking for Chula's Veterianian department because her mom used to work there. She's a German. She thought it would be a sweet idea to take a photo of the place where her mom used to work at and send it home.



It was good to meet Britta. She apparently had friends from the Indonesian Embassy in Thailand. If possible, I'll pop by the embassy and say hi to the people there. I need to buy a pair of black Rayban aviators. Will do that after class.

The upcoming entry will be VERY interesting. It's the derby match between Thammasat University and Chulalongkorn University. Do look out for that.

Welcome Party


The International Relations organised a welcome party for us exchange students. Took precious photos with as many of the exchange students as I could because most of us have different schedules and we don't meet each other often.

The Asian Table.


Sergio and Me.



The Japanese. Yoriko (left) and Mai


The handsome one.






At that moment in time, everybody was still within their own nationalities. Germans in one table, Canadians and Americans at seperate tables and the Asians in one. Everybody's trying to adapt and be comfortable with each other's culture and social etiquette. I'm very comfortable with some and for some others, I need to put in more effort to understand them a lil better. I've had experience with Europeans before especially with Germans, Swiss and French. They're a great bunch but you just need time to bring out the funk in them.



The emcees.




The lovely traditional dancers.


Mai and Me. Kawai-ne.



Roger from Netherlands and Me.


This is the professors and the international relations committee.


Asian Attitude Yo!



This is Chloe. Apparently, the guy students in Chula are crazy over her. She's exotic. She's Vietnamese-French mixed. That's what I heard. She's a sweet girl.


Johannes and Justin from Germany. The beer boys!


Amrita from the States.

I love to just listen to the exchange students. Their opinions and mentality. It varies a lot and truly, every part of the world faces different daily problems ranging from transportation in Japan to sexual discrimination in the States. In Thailand, the corruption story being told by my Prof just opened up a whole new perspective altogether, especially when you experienced it yourself. I did.
