Thank you for everything that the way you take care us all the time I was in Bandung I never felt lonely and homesick that I'm the only one who from Khon Kaen province. Everyone so kind, funny, and take care me like I'm a their university friend. Thank you so much guys
From the first day until I back to Thailand, I was impressed in many things of Bandung, I really love the people and the weather in here, it so different from Thailand. I have a chance to do the things that I never done, it is an exciting opportunity for me to learn and gain "real world" experience in the field. I got a change for practicum in the other country. I learned many things that I’ve never learned before.

Tangkuban Perahu

Tangkuban Perahu is a volcanic volcano in the mouth of the crater. Stone is complicated and the smoke of the gas that is out to see. But the view point. Quite safe see the mouth of the chimney 360 degrees, because the view from the corner, I recommend to prepare a sweater or umbrella because the weather is quite varied. Both are cold and rain alternately. But the weather is very good. The tourists are not crowded. Can capture the atmosphere easily. The mountain is also available to me.

before i went there our buddies told us "you should prepare your sweater or wear the long sleeve shirts because It's so cold" but when we arrived there it's sunny and quite hot hahaha but In afternoon like rain wiil fall, the weather's very varied.

this place is my best tourist attraction that I've been visited in Bandung because Thailand don't have any active volcano and the weather in there is so good, don't pretty hot like my country moreover strawberries and berries very cheap, I love it so much <3

18th Day in Bandung

24/AUG/2016

Today is my first time teaching, I taught about "Culture and tradition of Northeast Thailand" at 7B classroom. My teaching plan in social studies based on Active learning with games, it has 5 steps consist of 1. Introduction 2. Presentation 3. Practice 4. Production and 5. Wrap up

-  The first is Introduction; the teacher will recall or review the previous concept and arouse their interest by various activities e.g. game, puzzle questions.

-  The second is Presentation; the teacher will teach and explain the lesson.

-  The third is Practice; Students work together and share their opinion in group.

-  The forth is Production; Students can apply their knowledge to practice, they have to do some activities for make sure they understand about the lesson.

-  The last one; Teacher along with the students discuss the answers to the questions which are given for summarize and review lessons.

For the first time that I teach 7B classroom at 12.40 p.m., I have a problem about organizing activities because this time is the first class in the afternoon class and some students came in classroom late, it made the activity slower. I have to I had to decline the time of some activities down. But after that I can handle the way activities.

Some students don’t like random group it made they didn’t cooperate in activities. When teaching next time, I allowed them into the group by their own.

13th Day in Bandung

19/AUG/2017

This is my holiday ^_____^
My friend and I, we travel to famous place of Bandung, it's "Kawah Putih lank"

"Kawah Putih lake" It's a striking crater lake and tourist spot in a volcanic crater about 50 km south of Bandung in West Java in Indonesia. It's a blue lake and pretty cold because it's located on the mountain, we should go there by hackney.

This place very very very beautiful, you should imagine that you standing amid mountain and blue lake while wind was blowing, it's a good mood. I've never touch this feel in Thailand.
Because this is a striking crater lake, we don't allowed to swim, the water is so hot like it's gonna melt your bone O[]O (my buddies told me hahaha). Look at top picture, don't doubt that why my friends wear a face mask because sulfur's so smell and make your nose stinging.

So, I love this place the most of tourist attractions that I've been travel.

9th Day in Bandung

15 AUG 2017

Today I observed 7B classroom at 2.40 p.m. but Mr. Dena didn't come here that time because I early went to classroom.I don,t know what should I do at the moment then the students told me that "Miss!!! selfie with me" lol .

After that Mr.Dena came into the room and started the learning activities. The topic that they learnt in today was Soil, this content's one of Natural Resource topic that they used to learn in last week. While the teacher teaching he walked around the room for observed student's behavior.

After they received the information about soil then they went to outside the room for surveyed soil around the school and  wrote the survey's information on their worksheets.

They went back to the room after they already worked their tasks. Then each group presented information that they received from surveyed outside the room.
Actually I love this learning method because the students can learning by themselves, they can make the concept of knowledge and it's student centered learning.

Actually today was free program but our buddies they recommended us about the famous attractions of Bandung. So we went to Farmhouse Susu Lembang, It like a little zoo on mountain, good weather it best to take a photos because it resembles a simulated Italy similar Palio, Khaoyai in Thailand. But today have many people visited here that make difficulty walking. 

Then we went to Floating Market Lembang, there are many merchant ships. But we came here late and we're tired, we just bought some foods, sat leisurely and viewed the floating market. If you want to buy something you must exchange coins before you'll buy something. The foods in here so tasty but I think it more expensive than the outside T____T. Today I was happy and thankful for our buddies who brought to the trip. :)
