Day 8 - August 12, 2018
“Non nobis solum nati sumus."
(Not for ourselves alone are we born.)
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There are people who don’t care whether you suffer there in death or rejoice in the rewards you earn. However, there are also people who cares when you least expect them to. It feels good to receive small kind gestures from people who barely knew you and even from those you don’t even know entirely.
Laundry Day!
First thing I did is to do my laundry. The machines were not similar to the ones found in laundromats, but they look like the ones we have at home. I felt lucky when I saw a ten baht in the rejected coin slot, however, I lost it also because I tried to put it again in the same machine, so it was stuck. I couldn’t tell which machine was working or not. I was hesitant to spend a coin for it might get stuck again. Thankfully, there was this person who approached me and asked if I needed any help. She was a freshman, so she apologized that her English skills were not yet fully developed, regardless of that, she still approached me and tried her best to talk to me. I explained what happened and she helped me find a working machine. After she helped me in loading my laundry, I returned the favor and helped her as well.
Dinner in Lab-Nom Cafe
We wanted to explore more outside the university that’s why we tried to walk from the dormitory in the edge of the campus to Gate 1, the opposite end of this big campus. We saw this cute café near Gate 1 named Lab-Nom Café which means (Lab Milk) in accordance to the theme which is science. As future science educator, it felt like a wonderland for me to see the periodic table imprinted on the glasswindows, bloodbags with straws, famous scientists with their descriptions (in Thai), of course the food and beverage, that were served in laboratory apparatus and equipment.
