~a road home @ Sunday, December 18, 2005
yes...and the reflections. Hmm...i guess what i really liked about the Shan village is their politeness. I'm Jap so i'm quite fussy about respect and politeness...Its quite sad that alot of people now lost such basic manners. The people there are really nice, REALLY. It was seriously a warm environment, and i like such places. Although we are strangers, they treated us very well. Somebody told me, " Maybe thats because we were their guests". Hm, yes maybe. But i don't think its just that.
Next...simplicity. Their life there is really simple. I don't mean it in a bad sense.
For example, just a paper crane or a paper balloon can make a child there happy. Here in S'pore, what makes a little boy happy...GBA, PS, X-Box, Computer Games...etc... (--_--)
Seriously, its the thought that counts...not the material. Playing with the kids, spending my time there, i guess it was one of the most joyful time i had this year.
I got inspired in many ways. I experienced new things and learnt many things.
Would this OCIP trip affect the decision i'll make in the future...I don't know, but i just know this fact; I want to go there again.
why can't you? Sunday, December 18, 2005
