18 November 2024—After a tiring yet successful final teaching demonstration, Teacher Gray invited us to dinner at her friend Sir Bobby’s house. We rode in her car, enjoying the conversation and the mesmerizing afternoon hues of Kanchanaburi.
We arrived at Sir Bobby’s place. It was a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood. There, we were welcomed by Teacher Da and Teacher Moffat. Immediately, my eyes were caught by the delicious Thai food!
But before we could indulge in the food, we had to set up the most important part of the night—karaoke! As Asians, we all loved singing our hearts out to our favorite songs, but for Filipinos, it’s practically an Olympic sport. We don’t just hold the mic—we perform. Zy and I enjoyed it so much, it felt like our own concert. We also got to hear performances from our buddies and fellow participants.
