Leaving for Thailand!

Sawasdeeka family, friends and everyone else out there. Christine is off to the land of smiles(Thailand) for 12 months on the Rotary Youth Exchange program and thought it would be a good idea to get a blog started so I could share some exciting adventure into your lives.

While I am away I will be living in the Northeastern part of Thailand in a city called Muang Udon. I will be attending a Thai High School there and trying my best to learn the language. Although I have completed all my requirements for High School in Canada, the program envolves another year of High School there. I am very excited to be going because a year away is an amazing appurtunity for growth and discovery. While I am away in Thailand I will do my best to embrace every aspect of the Thai culture and realize that all people of different ethnicities are very similar. This year is going to be something that I will always remember and appreciate all the support I have recieved in going. Talk soon
Sawasdeeka friends
