6th Day in Bandung

12 AUG 2017

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. :)

5th Day in Bandung

11 AUG 2017

Today I observed in 7B classroom, taught by Mr. Dena in the topic "Natural Resources". In introduction step he asked the students that "what is natural resources?" and students raised their hands for answer. Presentation step, the teacher taught about natural resources by power point media. then he students were divided into 6 groups for played game, it like a snake ladder game. Students so fun, give attention and very good cooperation. And the last, wrap up step The teacher asks the students. “What are you learned today?” and "Who can give examples of natural resources? " then students raised their hands for answer. 

After I finished the class, me and my friends went to Museum Pendidikan Nasional UPI, historical data collection and education sites of Bandung and UPI. 

4th Day in Bandung

10 AUG 2017

Today It's the first time of observation in the classroom at Lab school. I'm observed teaching in VIII B at 07.00 a.m. They learned Social science subject about "Interaction of ASEAN" topic that taught by Mrs. Coloma. Before they're begin the classroom in every day, they should read the Quran and pray and then they'll sing the Indonesian national anthem together.

After they sang, some students'll come to the front of class for homework solutions about Thailand and Philippines and I'll give the answer that correct or wrong. Then the students were divided into 5 groups and Mrs.Coloma gave the knowledge sheets, chemical pens and papers for each group. Then they discussed about this topic and summarized the knowledge down on the papers for presentation but not enough time they must do it in the next time.

After the class we took a photos with Mrs. Coloma

3rd Day in Bandung

09 Aug 2017

This was the first day when we visited SMP Laboratorium UPI inside the university. There was small school, not wide much. It is a middle school with grades 7-9, each grade has A - C room and each classroom has about 25 - 30 students, I think it's a reasonable amount to learn.We met school principals and teachers. Then we walked around the school and greeted each classroom. In this school has the teachers from South Korea, they're Science teachers. 

2nd Day in Bandung

In the morning we had the opening ceremony about SEA Teacher program in Bandung at UPI Center. There are many teachers attended the opening ceremony. Then we met our supervisor who help us about teaching practices  and If we have some problem, he'll help us. So my supervisor is Mr.Igbal but he wasn't joined  the opening ceremony, but Hani she told me she'll contact him about when I could met him later.Then we took the pictures together.  After we were finished this program in the morning we went  shopping in the Cihampelas Walk (Ciwalk) mall, It very huge and many shop in there, I think there are goods more cheaper than Thailand. Today was fun!! (and tired too lol). 

Ps. The blueberry cheesecake's so yummy <3

Hello everyone :) My name is Ms. Preeyaporn Orachaipanitchakul. You can call me Cherry. I’m a fourth year student from Khon Kean University (KKU), I'm an Education student major in Social studies. I created this blog to share my experiences about SEA TEACHER program at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia in Bandung, Indonesia from 07 AUG - 03 SEP 2017. 

I went to Bandung, Indonesia by Singapore Airline. This is my first time in Indonesia. I'm so excited and glad to came here. I came here to conduct teaching practices in school at Bandung, Indonesia and enhance the understanding of cultural differences between Thailand and Indonesia. I hope I can bring everything that I learn from here back to my university and share it to my friends and everyone.

I arrived in Bandung at around 4.30 p.m. My Thai friends and my buddy picked me up . I felt glad that I met these people.

Both of them are so nice and kind , they really help me a lot that make me feel good and do something more convenient.
