Trip to Chiang Mai

I actually went to Chiang Mai with my mother and her ladies' group from church. I thought I'd tag along since i was on holiday.

Pictures says a thousand words right?
So I'll let the pictures talk and keep my words to a minimum :)

Day 1 - Flight to Chiang Mai and shopping!

On the way to the mall in a tuk tuk

my new slippers! they're cheap and comfy!

these ladies' can shop mannn!
I gave up few hours ago when this photo was taken.
My mom and I were contented to sit with the bags.
We were so tired coz we woke up at 4am for the flight.

shopping at the famous Night Bazaar!
Our hotel was just next to the Night Bazaar.
So we went to the Night Bazaar every night!
I totally enjoyed it coz if you know me well, i loooovee pasar malams.

When you come to thailand, pad thai is a MUST TRY!
It's something like char kuey teow with peanuts.

This is another MUST TRY! It's called "mango sticky rice"
It's mango and glutinous rice DRIPPED with santan.

Day 2
We spent the whole of day 2 with a missionary. She took us to this ancient museum and to her centre where she works. Her centre caters for the tribal girls of thailand who have been sexually abused. They give these girls new hope by providing them with a place to stay and by teaching them some "life skills" so they'll be able to earn some income.

Day 3 - Visit to a Thai school and an orphanage
We took a school period for the 5th graders - 11 yr olds.

We sang songs with them,...

played games with them,...

and prayed with them.

And then we moved to the orphanage. My second time to the orphanage.
This is SaiJai. Most of the kids just wants to be loved and hugged.

Another "JustGirls" pic.

my "doctor".. :)

This is Uncle Ricky, the one who started this Care Corner Orphanage.

and his wife, Aunty Lay Hwa.

This is Nate, one of my two favorite kids.
He's full of HOPE and JOY and perfectly HEALTHY,
although he has HIV.
Wanna know why?
It's coz of JESUS!

This is Pim, the other of my two favorite kids.
Pim has HIV too, but she's healthy and literally bursting with life.
Wanna know why?
It's coz of JESUS!

Found this! This is Pim and I two years ago!

And so that's about it! I have another amazing story to tell that happened on Day 3. But i can't post it for certain reasons. You wanna know? Ask me on msn!
