So on the 10th we went to visit one of the CDC boarding houses but we couldn't find it, we just went to the border, looked around for a bit. we had many confusing conversations on a payphone about the whereabouts of the boarding house.



This is us on the tuk tuk to the border.

That's the bridge you cross to go into Burma. Burma is the side you can see.

The colourful house is strange, it completely stands out from the deterring houses to the left. The theory is that it's a show for the people coming into the country.

We caught a songthaew from the border to near the hotel. A songthaew is a tiny wee bus thing.

It seats 8...there were 21 of us on it! It stopped at the Mae Tao Clinic and a newborn baby and new mother got on. the mother was hangin off the end of the songthaew. insane!

That night we went to visit Poh Cho and Ni Shar who are teachers coming from Say Ta Nar school to Scotland in October. They are husband and wife and are amazing people. They are so excited to come to Scotland and visit different schools to learn more about education.

I taught for a few days in their school last year and Poh Cho is a fantastic headteacher. He's lets the children know their rights which is so important for them. He holds school assembly's on issues like street children, child trafficking, child labour. They are such inspirational people.
