Everyone doing pocho-pocho


It's the second day in Koh Samui, yesterday nothing much happened as we were focusing and brainstorming on our business project. However, the UniMAP students took the pleasure of teaching the Thai students how to do the pocho-pocho dance. We really wish that the SRU students in this program would be able to dance by the end of this project. Fingers crossed.

Today is more fun as we were taken to tour the Island and we also visited a few interesting places. Do u know that Koh Samui is also known as the Island of Coconut? One wonders why but as we went around the island we found the answers in abundant. Coconut trees literally cover the island's landscape.

The first stop was the Grandfather's and Grandmother's rock beach. We wouldn't want to go into the graphic details of the visit but I could safely say it's an unforgettable trip for all of us. Then we went to the Waterfall Temple where we fed the hundreds of sacred Tilapia and Catfish kept in the waterfall pool at the entrance. We took some time there before moving to the Wat Phra Yai or known as the Big Buddha Temple. The temple is majestically situated at one of the bay in Samui and boast a great view of the lovely beaches nearby.

It was almost noon before we head back to the hotel and had lunch. All of us were exhausted by then and decided to rest because we were supposed to continue with the business plan.
It seems that the fun didn't stop during the day as the SRU students planned to surprise ajaarn Annurak as it was her birthday. The planned went smoothly, we gave a cake and organized some performances as well as games to celebrate her. In the end, we had a bulk of job to finish by TOMORROW !!!
