During the beginning of May, I (Denise) was one of the chaperones for Grace's 6th grade trip to Bangkok. The 6th graders had a terrific time on the overnight train ride (14 hours?). The students played Phase 10, chatted with the boys (not my Stepha!), snacked, jumped from bunk to bunk etc... I taught a bunch of girls "Big Booty" (although we changed the name to "Big Bible") and the cup game (the one we always play at camp). In Bangkok, we spent the day touring a wonderful science museum and then headed back to the train station for an overnight ride back to Chiang Mai. We were actually on the train longer than we were in Bangkok, but the kids probably loved the train ride more than the museum. Besides hanging with Stepha and the girls, I really enjoyed talking to some of the other missionaries and hearing their stories. Amazing!

Were you able to catch some sleep on the train?
Big Bible. Hahahaha I love it!
Yes, we did sleep pretty well! However, the day before the train ride, a fellow missionary informed us all that her daughter got a bad case of bed bugs from sleeping on a train ride before. Her daughter got rash and because she brought her own pillow, the bugs multiplied on her bed at home. Gross! SO, none of us brought our pillows and...my head felt itchy all night!! It didn't help that we saw a bed bug on one of the 6th graders bed. It was dead, but still!
I remember those prison cells from last year's trip! Memories!
Did you find any bugs that the kids were warned about?!
Always enjoy reading your blog updates - always inspiring!
