I'm finally back after a whirlwind two weeks in khon kaen then bangkok. It feels a little odd to be home. Most of all i really really miss the owls and all the stupid fun we had. I'll always remember our second day in bangkok. And the blackout at nongrua. And the village life, the bak so, basil chicken and the endless pocky, the freedom and the crazy tuk tuk rides, freezing at the back of the pickup, the beautiful night sky, clubbing in bangkok and cramming ourselves with food. I miss our room at piman garden and working on our mural and the library. I don't miss the deplorable and dodgy toilets, having to wash and rewear my clothes all the time, the stinky streets of bangkok and the crazy weather. But i truly truly truly enjoyed this trip, especially the time in khon kaen. I just feel that bangkok or its shopping wasn't as amazing as what everybody made it out to be. How i wish i could capture all the memories we created, savour and relive them again.
I feel a little nolstalgic, a little sad that project nok hook has come to an end. Looking back i still remember the first meeting in a tiny gsr, when our project was nameless, all details unsorted, everything in a state of flux. I remember the let downs, the disappointments we had in the process of creating this project, worrying that plans wouldn't come through, waiting fruitlessly for replies and confirmation, racing against time to get the important details all ironed out in the last one week. We worked with what we had and from nothing, I really can't believe that we've achieved so much and come so far in this. Now that the fruit of our labour has materialised, i see that it really is better than anything i could have imagined. The hard work and resourcefulness from the owls paid off, and i know its sounds so corny (i never thought i would feel this way) but i believe that nongrue and ban haad have benefitted richly from project nok hook (i really hope the library is a stable table and the mural takes a million years to wash off). It was not a painless process but it honestly was a million times more rewarding than i could have believed at the start. I will never regret my decision to be part of this project, with the experience i've had, the people i met and the friendships we created. We successfully carried through with project nok hook and i really hope that there're be continuation next year and in the years to come..
