Hey,
everyone !
Long time no see. How have u been?
I am doing good. Right now, i am pretty good, everything's fine and
nothing going on. In school, we just study as you know. I still love
my art classes, i'm painting water color and of course everybody like
it, haha. I spend so much time with my art class. In physics, we had
the project how to do biodisel, that was fun, it was the first that I
did. After that, we had another project that I think it's not about
physics at all because we painted. It was fine to me, I love to do
art things.
On spring break, I and my host family went to the camp, i have no
idea where is that. It was like the little house in the forest, we
drove around 5-6hr from Key West. We had fun a lot. My host dad and
his friends went to hunt animals in the evening, but I didn't want to
so I stayed home with my host mom and sister, watched TV, the ghost
hunt, after the man hunt nothing, they did bar-b-q for us. It was so
much fun but I have something I don't like...I didn't take a
shower...because nobody did so I didn't take a shower, 1 day. Haha.
On Apirl 4th, Ester's day, I and my host mom went to the church on
evening and it was very cool. It was huge and I liked it a lot.
After that, we went to Thai restaurant and had a dinner. I met thai
people there and talked to some of them and I discover that they're
like me, I mean they're not exchange but not really. Because they
come here and work 3 months and then go back to Thailand so that's
awesome.
The month later on April 16th-18th), I went to Miami to Rotary
meeting. I met a lots of new friends who be exchange students- i mean
ther're American and will go to another country called 'outbound'. I
am 'inbound'.) That was cool. They're very nice. I met the girl who
is going to Thailand, my country, I talked with her a lot about my
country, I'm exciting that someone's going to Thailand and she'll live
in Bangkok, the capital city that I'm studying so that's great, we can
hang out together.
Last weekend, I went to downtown and hangout with my friend and
brought some gift to my family at home, I got the postcards, key
rings, and a lots.
It is so fast, it's about 8 months that I've been here, it's really
fast. I just have 1 months left, that make me sad a little. Next
week I and my host family plan to go to the beach. And on
May13th-15th, I will go to Bahamas with others exchange students, I'll
look forward to meet them and want to go to see there.

January 2010
about 5 months that i have been in Key West, Florida, US. i got many
memories from here, the experience that i haven't done before, that i
never thought I'm going to do... i have being learn a lot of things,
learn about the language, to be friendly, to be the person that go to
talk with friends first. I can tell you that i sometimes i be homesick
and cry ..i miss my home, i miss my friends and especially i miss my
family. It's not easy to leave country and can't meet the people that
you love. To leave the country and go to the new one that i've never
gone before...but all of feeling, all of experience...sadly , happily,
laugh and all of them make me stronger. Make me know how to improve
myself and
grown up.
right now, i live with the 2nd host, i moved from the first host on
November 9th, 2009, after Rotary districk 6990 trip. it was so fast
for me. I spent lot of times with my first host, we did a lot of
things together. Include on the festival, on Halloween weekend, we
went to my 2nd host's sister at downtown to watch the parade. It was
so fantastic foe me. Because in Key West, it is the big festival,
every visitor from everywhere go to here to join with us !
But then...on November we have to leave, and before at that time, we
went to "Thai Restaurant" , which is my nation food, together, i'm so
glad and feel terrible. After Rotary trip, i moved to 2nd host...
their house is across the street from the first house !! Is that funny
!? haha, i know.
I was really excited liked the first time that i came here !!!
But when i talked with them, it wasn't scare at all ! They're so nice
to me. The Koenig's have dad, mom, 2 older sister and 1 younger
brother.
On evening, we went to watch the fort parade and my school's American
football game. My new host brother is in the school's band. That's so
cool ! As the same time i talked with my host sister a lot. And the
next day, i helped my host mom to clean the pool, then, we talked a
lot, too.
My host mom is so cute, she help to practice English, she went to
school for took practice books for me. My host dad is so cute, too.
the funny is he always store the everyone food, if you don't write
your name at that stuffs, he is going to take it !! Haha. My host
sister is very friendly, we talked with each other a lots. My host
brother is cool too. He want to be the professional musician so he's
always practice his instruction...that's so cool for me !!
Then, as soon my school had homecoming's day. So i went there with my
new host sister. we dressed pretty dress and have a lot of fun ! That
was my first time that i went to homecoming's day. It's so funny
because the girls(include me) wear pretty shoes, but when we dance we
took it of and dance !! Moreover, 2 months ago that i live with them.
i can say i really love them !
On Thanksgiving Weekend, we went to Gainesville to visit my host mom's
sister and lived with then 2-3 days. that was fun. Right there
was so cold !! It liked 40F at night, the most cold that i have met
!!! i hate cold and at that time, i thought i'm very lucky to live at
Key West, the hot city ! (because in Thailand, the temperature is
always 95-105F)
On December, i went to Disney World with Rotary !!! It's the
best thing that rotary give to me, Thank you very much !!
I met my friends from Thailand and we talked a lots, how is your life,
hoe is your school, friends. And i really miss my home
immediately. After that trip, i don't want to say goodbye my friends.
But we need to say it and hopefully we can meet each others as soon as
possible... yeahhhh, on January i'm going to Sea Camp At the
Keys with rotary and i can meet them again ! I'm so glad !!
We have a lot of stuff to talk and never done !
About the school, i passed the mid term test before Christmas, some
subject is too hard liked History (i think it's hard forever,
even i can speak English pretty well), about math is ok for me but i
almost did it wrong a little point, that's make me hurt but finally i
got A. I'm so proud ! Then after that, i changed my new schedule from
English 2 to English 3 because it was easier...and in that class all
of the student don't speak English, they're immigrant that speak
spainess and France. And the English 3 is harder, but i like it,
because i come here to practice, not to learn that i can do it all of
them. And on 2 Physics class, we painted the big door, it's our new
project and i live that.
Finally, last weekend my host family talked with me about when i go
back to Thailand. They plan to go back with me and visit my country,
my home about 1-2 weeks...i'm so glad and very welcome them. It's so
exciting and i can't wait, so i plan where i will take them and where
is the beautiful place for them. I just want to do the best things to
them like they do it for me.
...At that time, i think about when i go back to my country, how about
my host family and me...
i'm going to miss them a lots, i'm pretty sure.

Hi, everybody !
How are you ?
My name is Pimkwan Wattanapong, you can call me Kwan as well. Nice to
meet you. This year, I’m a youth exchange student from Thailand. I’m
sixteen year old and studying in grade 11 at Satriwittaya2 at Bangkok,
the capital city of Thailand, with my aunt. My family live in Sisaket,
we have four members of family. I’m first kid in family, and have
young sister; I think maybe she will be exchange student too.
In school, I like math and ART so much ! And I really don’t expert
subject about language like English and Thai…(it looks funny but it’s
really). In free times, I like to drawing, read, seeing movies and
listening music. I like to write too, I feel good and fun when I write
something and people come to read it. My favorite sport is Badminton.
Why I want to be exchange student…I don’t know what to explain, its
have many thing to answer. I just think I want to go to see the world,
I know well, my country is small and I’m smaller. The Earth is so big,
so I believe that it has many things I didn’t see before, I want to
see, I want to have a different experience, I want to visit around the
world. So I decide to be exchange student !
So I’ll never ever sorry with my making a decision.
I hope it’ll fun !!
August 9th, 2009, I’m staying in Key West, Florida, United State. The
temperature likes Thailand so I be not worried about this, it’s good
for me. There are four members in my host family. The first day, at
lunch, I and Elizabeth who pick me up at the airport (She isn’t my
host.) take me to meeting with Rotary and have lunch. After lunch, we
go to meet my host ! I’m very really nervous
…what I should say to them first !? …what I should do !? AHH !! Oh my
god !
First of all, I didn’t do anything likes I think I should do, they hug
me, it’s so great ! In Thailand, we don’t like to hug, but when I went
here it’s usually and I like it. Then, they take me go around our
home. I have my bedroom, everything is wonderful. We have two dogs,
two cats and some of animal that I don’t know what is it.
About my language, Thai is my language, but everybody learn English in
grade 1. However, I don’t expert in English, it’s so hard to me. So
the first time, I always smile, smile and smile…it means I don’t get
it. It’s funny !
Afternoon, my host sister take me visit around Key West, it’s so cool.
Key West is so beautiful city, I don’t kidding, there is wonderful,
every houses is different but usually pretty. They don’t have taller
building, they have many beach. We go to see school and some my host
sister’s friends…at that time I can’t remember their name. When we
comeback, my host dad’s brother’s wife come here.
Evening, I have food with my host, host dad’s brother’s family and
neighbor. It’s nice time to me, even I’m having a smattering of
knowledge but it’s so fun !
I think it’s pretty good that I be exchange student !!!
At night, before I sleep I pray,
…I hope tomorrow it’ll fun.
