Reminiscent of the Amazing Land of Asia

wow
Well this should be good.

I hope you can all enjoy this and find heaps to comment about. But to tell the truth, I have been wanting to post something like this for quite some time. Yes, it is about my first and most recent trip out of Australia and i do wish to share it with all.

On Monday the 26th of November 2007, 11 Aussies departed for singapore to join with young people from Youth Impact on the mission field in NongKhai, Thailand.

They arrived, were warmly welcomed, and began to learn the names of their new "Family members"

Then there was another short flight followed by a 10 HOUR ROAD TRIP!!!!
WOOHOOOO!
We even managed to stop and eat!!!

REALLY REALLY NICE RICE!!!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Oh how i Loved NongKhai

this is the front view silhouette of the church we were based at in Nongkhai. we even had lunch here on the sunday after their service.

Gotta luv Google Maps!
click the satellite view and see if u can spot any of the places we were at from the air!?! haha!

Go the Geography skills!

This is a shot of the place were we all stayed at...

Footy skills...
Acting skills...
Happy hands club skills...
Australian accent skills...
And these, we're our group's wonderful translators

Teeth showing skills...
And this is Tom our DJ radio/translator
But then like with all amazing things, we had to begin our journey home...
Duuuude! he looks zoned out! (tired)
And then we spent a lil' bit of time with our new family in singapore. Before departing back to Oz.

Now at this point you might be thinkin,

"oh Nooo, he's Beached as broo!"

...will this epic tale continue, hmmm?
Well that was the end of that tale! And what a marvellous tale it was indeed!
