Now Thailand become hooter and hotter. It seems to walk to uncomfortable season, summer. By the way, we spent the last weekend which we could spend in Khon Kaen last week. Weekend of the next week, I will go back to Japan. And the busy life as I did before coming to Thailand will start again: I will get up early in the morning to participate in club activities, and I do housework, and busy life to go to part-time work at night begins. As one of the student of Khon Kaen University, called Yori, took us out to a drive to be able to spend this free time efficiently, I am going to write the memory on this day.
We went to the famous temple, Wat Nong Waeng in Khon Kaen. The appearance is beautiful. The temple can go up to the top floor at 9 stories on stairs. From the top, We were able to overlook scenery of Khon Kaen. There were too many stairs and I was tired very much. In addition, I prayed along a style of Thailand in the temple and pulled a lottery. I gave prayer to Buddha to be able to return home safely. Influence of the coronavirus is serious now in my mother country, Japan. False news was broadcasted, and a major theme park closed it. Japan follows a course of the confusion. I hope strongly that this situation calms down and the world returns peacefully earlier.
from the top! 
very cute students from Indonesia!
Then, we entered the cafe to kill time until night market have begun. One of the students from Indonesia said that she always drink green tea to be relaxed in the morning of the test period, when it comes to tea. She seems to add honey to green tea. A Japanese may noever add sugar and honey to green tea. However, I was glad to hear that Indonesian people also enjoy Japanese green tea anyway.
After that, we went to Ton Tann market. Not only a lot of kinds of food but also many clothes and the sunglasses were sold. As the illuminations were beautiful, I took a lot of photographs. I tried takoyaki made in Thailand for the first time here. It was hot from and delicious, but sauce was sweeter than a Japanese takoyaki. In addition, they used the normal black laver cut thinly in substitution for a green laver in the Thai shop. I was surprised at the big supermarket of the scale in Khon Kaen so much.
From today, our elementary school is in a test period. Classrooms are very quiet even so far they are filled libely voice of the many students . And a certain people died due to the coronavirus just recently in Thailand. It is the first case here. Under the influence, today has been the last day we can come to the school unfortunately. Now I regret a little because I think I should have taken more communication with students, as well as teachers. It does not seem to be able to have an oppotunity to say good-bye to all students formally with a sudden event properly. I want to express the feeling of thanks to a lot of everybodies before today is over.
