Robotics_From The CULP Leader

Sa Wat Dee Khrap (Hello) from Thailand and greetings from Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School (AFAPS):

Another great day of training and learning. We had the opportunity to observe their Cadets and the highlights of their robotics program. Each day I am more impressed with the ability of the Thailand Cadets and appreciate them taking the time to show us their various programs. Most of us planned to do some running after the robotics demonstration, but Mother Nature had different plans. It is the beginning of the Monsoon Season and yesterday was a big storm.

Sleeping and getting used to the time changes...The majority of the cadets have made the adjustment quickly. The challenge is to get used to the beds. There is a big difference in the firmness of what most of us Americans as used to. If you are a fan of a "firm" mattress, this is the place for you. The beds are like sleeping on plywood, but eventually we will get used to it. Nobody is complaining, just part of the experience. With that being said...we all are looking forward to sleeping in our beds in a few weeks.

Physical Training continues to be a central focus and our Cadets are actively participating throughout the campus. These Thailand Cadets are in great shape and keep us pushing each other. To be a teenager again and run sub 6 minute miles, those were the days...:)

As always, I look forward to your comments and experiencing this English Engagement and Cultural Immersion by means of the virtual community.

Pass our blog site to your friends and family. It's great to share this experience with all of you.

Khaawp Khoon Khrap (Thank-you),
