so thats it everyone. I'm coming home.

OK. i leave my host family and my school on Monday. and i got to say I'm extremely sad. so this will be my last post for this trip.

i remember every moment i have had over here. i remember all the people i have met. this my sound harsh to my family and friends back home but people here are much nicer. they do not care for money or reputation or beauty. everyone cares for the person. i have a great family here and i have alot of great friends that i will never loose contact with. and in three years i will be living here permanently. this place, despite what everyone thinks of it, is a great place. and if people would just give it a chance they would understand. before i came here people would tell me"Cameron this is going to be a huge change in life for you. you may not like it. people there are different." or even" Cameron, you need to be safe over there people may try to steal from you because its a poor country." so let me clear things up for those people. first off from the moment i got off the plane i felt at home. it was never a culture shock for me. and all the other AFS students that came with me felt the same way as i did. i think people get culture shock because they are afraid of the world. you cannot believe what you hear on T.V. the news only tells you the bad stuff. and after the first week here i felt like i had lived here my entire life. it just came natural to me. i feel much happier here then i have ever felt before. i guess it depends on the person though. i can not speak for other people. i am only speaking for my self and what i feel. i also got asked to take alot of photos so everyone can see what i have been doing. they asked me to be there eye's for them. i have to say this. there is no photo or video i can take that can explain how i feel here. it is such an emotional experience and i could never explain it even if i wanted to. this was not just a trip to Thailand for me. this is my future. so for me it is vary hard to leave this country.

i have heard people say that they have been to Thailand many times and they do not feel anything or even care for the country. and that's because they have never stayed with a Thai family or have never looked around to see the beauty in the culture. truly i do not have any more words to say to the people back home. this was a once in a life time opportunity and i am vary happy i was able to do this.

well since this is my last post lets send it out with a BANG!!!!!!!!

p.s i did not take some of these pictures after this post. some came frome my girlfriend here.
