O_O oh!! I’m lazy… Today the exchange students had to go to Suwarnnapoom Airport at 5 a.m. to check in for our flight. This flight was my first time flying and I was so excited. We were going to Australia!!! When we were ready!, we flew to Australia…You know? The f;light took 6 hours, it was so long long time. And I slept all of time 555+ When we arrived at Perth Airport, there were some rules for foreigners. The rules were no food, no wood, no wool and no chemicals. And this was my first time, I didn’t know, so my gifts couldn’t pass the rules. They destroyed them. T_T oh!! Very expensive for me… When we were finished with the airport, we went to Milner College (our school) to meet own host families. This was an exciting time. Hello!! Marcha… Nice to meet U ^^ After we had met our host families we went to our new homes. I and Pat lived with Marcha and Danial. They have 2 children. Marcha is a Chinese woman, so today we ate Asian food, it was so nice. They are so good. We were very very happy!!!

I woke up at 6.30 a.m. It was not early and not late. We had a strange breakfast -*- it looked scary, but I had to eat it. I and Pat went to Millner College at 7.30 a.m. And today was our first day, I felt worried a little bit. When we got to school, we had a problem, we didn’t know where are our classrooms were -*- but good luck!! A kind teacher came and took us to classroom. Oh!! God.. First day, we had a test!!! You know what? It was very difficult. I could do it a little. For a few minutes, our teacher came and told me about the points, I was very excited. My points were OK. I could study in medium class.

In my classroom, We met our teacher “Clare “ We met many many new friends. They came from many countries and everybody was older than us. When we came in the first time, we felt scared but later we felt better. So today was nice for my “ First Day “.

When school finished, we went home by ourselves. We just got a bus. It’s so bad. We didn’t know how to get a bus. But finally!! We got home, I was very so tired.

After our dinner, my host family rented some VDOs for us and we watched the movies together… At home, we also had some roommates. One was a Chinese girl “Cristal” She was so cute. We talked together for along time. She was very friendly. I like her so much. “ Nice to meet U “ Good night!!! (_ _)

Oh! Today I got up late - -* I must go to school late of course… But so lucky, Dad could take us to school and it will be faster. Ya!!! Today we were not late. “ Thank you, Dad “

In the classroom, I studied about “ some, any and time “ It was not difficult. The time went fast today… We went home by bus like we did yesterday. And today I had bad news _ _* you want to know? We had to move host family because we had a little bit of a problem. When I knew, I felt sad…

When we went back home, we took suitcases. Then 6 p.m. they took us to new host family. I thought they felt sad… “ I’m sorry “ -/l\- Before we said goodbye, we gave some gifts to my host family and roommate “ Cristal “ - Thank You for Everything –

And this time… We stayed with a new host family. The house looked good. Hello!! Matina, Happy to meet you ^^ She has 2 sons, they are Kevin 14 years old and Alec’s 13 years old. They are very naughty and sassy -*- First day, you know what? They pretended us and we pretended them, too. It was so crazy but fun 555+ Another this, they have a beautiful dog. She is Sea-Son ( mean Princess ). She is very shy. Mom “ Matina “ told us every time, she is silly - -*

Hi! Guy… Today I must go to school by bus, and it was a first time for new house. It was just difficult. We took the time for 40 – 45 minutes because it was far. Oh! God… I just wake up earlier - -

And we met my friends on the bus, New and Palm. They stayed in the same area so we went to school together. Today when we finished school, the exchange students and teachers had a trip. We will go to see the kangaroos!!! Wow… I love them! We were really ready for this trip.

After had lunch, we went to Caversham Wildlife Park to see many amazing animals. First, We went to feed the Kangaroos ( so cute! ) and took some pictures with them. In the park, there were many many animals, such as koala bears, birds and the wombats.

The animals are very different to the animals in Thailand, they are really amazing. When we finished, we went to chocolate factory. There they made and sold all kinds of chocolate, some sweet and some wine. It was heaven for me!! But I couldn’t buy anything because it was so expensive - -* Afterwards, we went home.

Wake up! Wake up! Today we must take Thai musical instrument to school. Oh!! God… It’s very very heavy and it’s so far. We must took it to school really!! 0_0 It was bad, We couldn’t took it. Oh! No… I will die soon. -*-

But finally, we could go to school and I didn’t die 555+ But you know? It was so so tired.

At 10.30 a.m. we went to another school, Duncraig Senior High School, It looks very nice. And they had many students, some of these were our guides and they showed us around their school. My guides were very cute and friendly, they were John and a Chinese boy ( I can’t remember his name - -*). They took us to many rooms, such as Math room, Science room, Art room and etc. Next we had to perform with our Thai musical instruments, we were very excited. We also showed off our Thai dancing skills. We were so happy and it was good fun. “ Thank you everybody ^-^ “

Oh!! Time is up.. T_T We felt sad. “ We are very Happy and really nice to meet u “ Bye, guys… see ya!!

Today after school, we went to “ Fremantle and the markets “ We went by the train, and this was my first time I had been in a train. We were on the train for quite a long time because it was so far. And you know? We were very hungry.

We arrived Fremantle. First thing we did, eat!!! We went to have lunchand we decided to go to a Fish restaurant, Oh!! Very expensive 0_0” Friends! We had to share together.

This time, we felt very happy because we were all very full. Next we went to a historic place, the Roundhouse which is an old prison and museum. It’s about prisoners. This place is old and looked scary a little bit. - -*

Later, we went to Fremantle market and did some shopping!!! These were many many shops. I was very excited. We went around the market, and I saw the cool shop, it had many good things.

Finally, I bought one thing for my family. It was a Boomerang, a good souvenir from Australia. It was beautiful and amazing!! “ I liked Fremantle.. ^_^ “

HAPPY HOLIDAY!!! Today is Saturday, I could sleep along along time… It was so good. And today, we went shopping with my host family. Oh!! One boy couldn’t go, Kevin, He must work at the shop in the morning. Good luck, guy…

So, we went shopping with Mom, grandma and Alec. We went to the shops and shopped for a long time. Mom had many things but we didn’t have anything, because we didn’t have enough money ( oh! So bad.. V-V ) When we finished, we went back home and had lunch together.

So hot!! Why was today so very hot?? So, my mom took us, Alec and Season, the pet dog to the beach. It was so so good!! ^^ The beach was very beautiful and the sea is so cold and the waves were really big! I liked it … it was beautiful and really good fun.

LET”S HAVE TODAY!! 555+ Today I had a plan, I will spend time with my friends. I met my friends at 10 o’ clock, it’s a little bit late, but it was o.k. We had to wait 1 hour because we missed the bus, it was so bad. And today it was so hot, the weather encouraged us to go to the beach…

But first, we went to the city to do some shopping and have some lunch. When we arrived, we met up with our other friends. Oh! Now… there were 6 people, Pat, New, Palm, Neen, Pim and me. We will have fun together…

Before we went to the beach, we decided to go to restaurant because we were very hungry!!! We went to an interesting restaurant, Angor, a Vietnamese restaurant. It was very very nice. We loved it because it was very cheap.555+ So cool!! *_*

Wow!! The beach is very beautiful and the sea is blue, everything looked perfect!! We played together for along time until 6 o’clock 0_ 0 ( my skin is coming to dark ) It was really fun. I wanted to tell you something… I will die when the big waves became - -* Oh! God…

Oh! The weekend was ending, I have to go to school. Today I felt lazy -0- And today when we finished school, AJ. Thomas wanted to meet us at 12.45 a.m. to do some activities. But we were late a little bit - -* And of course, AJ. Thomas will punish us if we were late. Sound bad!! We felt terrible and very tired.

Today was a sports day, we had a handsome coach “ Steve “ We played Dodge Ball and some other sport games together. It was very tiring but good fun.

And after this, we went back home. Oh! Today I did something wrong.. “ Sorry, Mom!! “

Today I got up late, I didn’t know why… I must go to school now!! This time, I had been sad about something that had happened yesterday. “ What should I do? “

And of course, we missed the bus, so we had to wait for 30 minutes. And it was late, so, today I was late again for class. Bad!!

And today at 1 p.m. we are going to another college, “ Mercedes College “ It’s opposite our college, so it was not hard to take Thai instruments ^_^” This college has only girl students. The guides took us to see around their college, it’s very big and had many classrooms. I thought this college was perfect!!!

After our tour of the college, we were proud to show our Thai music instruments and Thai dancing to the Mercedes’ students. We joined together, we were very very happy!! Mercedes’ students were fantastic, very friendly and cool!!! “ Nice to meet u, my friends… See ya!!! “ ^^Y

Let’s go I didn’t want to miss the bus again, so today we got up very fast… And it was good, I got to school on time.

Today our trip was shopping!! We went to “ Harbour Town “, these shops had cheaper prices. When we got there, we went shopping. I tried to find some souvenirs but finally we couldn’t buy anything - -* We felt very tired…

About 3.30 p.m. we left from “ Harbour Town “ and went to a souvenir shop “ Wow!!! I wanted to buy something, so today I bought many many souvenirs for my family and my friends. And today I spent money a lot but I was very happy “ Some gifts will come to you, my family!! “

When we finished shopping, we went back home. Mom met us, she was shocked because we had bought a lot of things today “ Never mind Mom.. Only today ^^ “

“ Martina “ for along time about own life and today we gave Thai gifts for host family, I hoped you will like it… “ Love U, Sweet

Oh! No! One day left, we have to go back to Thailand. I didn’t really want to go… but it was impossible.

Today when school finished, we went to “ Perth Mint “. It was near to our school, We could walk in 3 – 5 minutes.

“ Perth Mint “ is a museum about coins and gold. Inside, we followed the guide to see around the museum. We could see many coins that came from many countries even some that came from Thailand We were so proud. ^^

Next, we saw the oldest coin in Australia and saw the biggest coin in the world, it was made for China. Wow!! So beautiful… *_*

They also had a special show, it was all about how to make a gold bar. It was fantastic!! I hadn’t seen a real gold bar before … but today I could! Wow.. 0_0

When we were finished, we wanted to make own coins, I got a beautiful coin made for my family … it was engraved with ..

Oh! I couldn’t believe it… Today was my last day in the college, everything will be in my memory for ever and I will remember everything happened in Australia.

In my classroom today everybody looked sad because we were leaving. I could remember my friends, teacher Clare, Chris, P’Shim, Yumi, Yoko, Carla, and everybodyelse. “Thank you for the friendship you showed towards me ^-^ “

Today I was very happy in classroom. We played some games together, we felt so happy. And before finished class, we took some photos together, I felt really sad… T_T “ I will miss U, friends.. “

And when we finished, we wanted to show something to our friends so we played our Thai musical instruments again and demonstrated a few different Thai dances. We were very very happy. We wanted to do that for our friends on our last day. We hope that you will remember us forever ^_^

After the show, we were presented with our Graduation Certificates. We were very proud. And our time in Millner College was coming to the end…

Before we went home, we decided to go to King’s Park. It was the last place we visited. King’s Park is a beautiful natural park overlooking the Swan River and the City of Perth. We saw lots of people who had gone to the park for a picnic. “ OK.. time is up, friends.. Bye!! “

Today I didn’t want to get up. I didn’t want to do anything. I couldn’t believe it, today is our last day in Australia… Tomorrow, everything will be just a distant dream. I felt sad and… wanted to cry T_T

I had to get up at 5.30 p.m. to pack my suitcases. When we were ready, the sad time came to us, we must leave from a happy time. Oh! Now, I couldn’t say what I felt… “ Bye, Happy home “

Mom and Alec came with us, they took us to Millner College to meet our teachers. This time, the weather was very cold but my mind was colder. I wanted to cry so much… v_v

And the time to say “ Goodbye” was coming when teachers arrived to college. Y_Y Now, I was crying and crying. I didn’t want to say “ Goodbye” We will miss u, Mom, Kevin and Alec, you are so cool! “ Love U, thank you for everything and take care yourselves, my family..” We will come back, of course.. Bye bye, see you.

We cried and cried for along time, we felt really sad… then at 10 a.m. we were at the Airport, checking in for our flight back home in Thailand. 6 hours later and we were back in Thailand. ^_^

“ My 2 weeks in Australia was excellent. I had a very nice time and I met many new friends, had some great experiences and I knew something that was the best. I have a new “Family “. I can live in Australia because I have a Family, I could have happy times because I have a Family and I could have some tears because I have a FAMILY…. “
