Plant a Mangrove treeeee! FIRST PART


I have to admit, when I created my blog in the beginning of my internship I did not know that the title: Experiencing Thailand would be that accurate and true!
Today I went with some of the Sofitel employees to the Mangrove plantations to plant a tree, which is an activity organised for every year by accor to help the nature develop. I was already happy to have plans for this Saturday that gave me a reason to stand up early in the morning but what came was even more interesting and amazing! I had the best time!! and I took soooo many pictures! because they can help to understand and explain my happiness ;oP
Okay it al started of with me oversleeping but not enough to miss the bus leaving from the hotel! I was perhaps 1 minute late...after that we waited 1 hour for 2 other people who were late so I think that I was pretty on time!! ;oP
Then just after having entered the bus, they told me: Khun MALIII here I have breakfast for you ... since I was hungry mak mak (very much) I happily accepted the sticky rice and sate kai for uuu! ...Unfortunately my stomach didnt like it so much, so immediatly after having left the hotel the falang (me) had to go to the toilet again verryyy urgently...so they stopped the bus and I ran to the toilet...which looked more like a hole in the ground then an actual toilet...
Happily after this short break I was all better and we could continue the trip. They had the whole Karaoke suuplies, micro and televison, installed and they were singing thai songs all along! It was very funny even though I didnt understand.
Okay arrived on our 'tree plantation farm' I ran to the toilet again and we prepared for our departure on the boats to visit the mussel fields, the salt fields and to feed the monkeys. And there were like a thousand little crabs in the mud and alos the fis which they called feet fish for me... I laughed but then they got very serious and asked me: come on u know the fish...which have feet!?? Honestly I hadnt heard of it in my whole life and I thought that it was an invention by mankind (for myths or other stories) but they actually did have some kind of feet.
Okay we took off our shoes (like always) and we took a 'seat', always 6 people on 1, in the boats. follow...part 2

Ein abenteuerlicher Ausflug mit Frühstück im Bus, Darmproblemen, Plumpsklo und Fischen mit Beinen; wirklich Dein Bloggertitel stimmt 100%ig. Die Fotobeute, die wir ja nur auszugsweise genießen können, scheint
sehr reich zu sein und vermittelt uns daheim Gebliebenen starke Eindrücke.
