A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
Chaing Mai, Thailand is a historical
place where there are different varieties of
delicious food everywhere. During the fiveday trip, we experienced an assortment of
traditional food and modern meals. We
approached many different styles of food,
but my personal favorite was the Khantoke
dinner on the last day of the trip, followed
by a traditional performance of Thai
dancers. The instructors took us to an
outdoor compound that was inside the
campus. There were mats on the floor
along with small tables that were filled with
tiny baskets of Thai food with the flavorful
aroma that consumed the air. Astonished at the sight, the whole grade
divided up into groups of 5 and took a seat at a table with their food.
Michelle You, Phattanat Sae
Sae, Hyugo Yamaguchi, Ashley
Kuo, and I were a group and that
day was the most fun all of us
had. There were many dishes
spread out on the small tables.
There were different varieties of
food on the table. There was
pork curry, chicken wings, sticky
rice in a banana leaf, and
vegetables.
The
sight
of
traditional Thai food made our
eyes dance in joy. We spent the
night debating about Donald
Trump and laughing about
political
issues.
After
the
amazing dinner, the Thai dancers performed on the platform, which
sparked everyone’s interests. Finally, after the performance, we
concluded the night with fireworks and lanterns. This was my favorite night
and surely a night the whole 8th grade will remember.
