Just shocking how time past by

I can’t believe that eleven months went by already. It’s amazing how time flies when you are having a good time. I will be flying back home in two weeks, it will be nice to see again my family and my friends, they miss me and I miss them a lot.

In those amazing eleven months, as you know, besides exploring and having fun, I have been helping some local children. In Bangkok, apart from the fact that it is a unique city, there are some things that can be fixed and would make of Bangkok, an even more beautiful city: the main issue is the one concerning the poor. They live next to the tracks of the train in terrible conditions; what I did was, help those families to relocate in a more suitable and healthier location. It was a real challenge, however there is much more that can be done to get rid of this problem.

We also decided to teach the kids who can’t have access to education: it was great! The kids were really motivated, which “threw” the motivation back to us, so it was a sort of vicious circle; I was so happy to see that the kids were really interested. This was, in my opinion, a complete win-win situation: they got an education, and we got something to be motivated for, which I think it is great!

In this time I was able to discover and get to know another culture, another language, another type of food, which has no comparison to mine, it’s completely different. It has been a mind-changing experience. Thanks to this gap year, I was able to broaden my horizons and get to know a country, a culture that I wouldn’t have imagined I would be in contact for so long! This trip will remain in my memories forever; it is something I will never forget. I wanted to thank my fellow volunteers for this incredible experience and trip, and tell them that I have been so happy to be among them every step of the way. I also wanted to tell them that having spent this whole year with them exacerbates my happiness to and it blows it right out of the ballpark.

I have a feeling that this will be my last entry of this blog, so I would like to thank you all for reading my blog, and I would like to wish you a big farewell!

P.S.: I will attach some last moment photos

At the sublime beaches of Thailand with all my fellow volunteers.

The more modern part of Bangkok

This one is one of my favorites pictures since it shows both the ancient part of Bangkok and a boat that isn't as old as the ancient sights, but not as modern as the buildings in the modern part of the city.

This is one picture I took in the neighbourhood where I helped the families and the children to relocate themselves.
