The day a dream came true: My first trip abroad - Thailand

 It is hard to describe the feeling of flying to another country away from my homeland for the first time. It was a wonderful experience filled with fear, joy, and curiosity. To mark this unforgettable 'first foreign trip' of my life, I chose Thailand—one of the most beautiful destinations in Asia.

I felt so relaxed the moment I landed in Thailand. People were very kind. When they greeted us with a smile and said 'Sawadee-ka,' I didn't feel scared of being in a new country anymore.

Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is a place where skyscrapers on one side and ancient history on the other are blended together.

Tuk-Tuk Ride: Although similar to a three-wheeler in our country, it is a different experience to travel on different roads in a Tuk-Tuk decorated with colorful lights.

When I visited temples like Wat Arun and Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok, I couldn't believe my eyes. The intricate carvings and gold color were amazing.

A trip to Thailand is not complete without eating from a street stall! Thai street food is like a whole different world. My favorite was 'Pad Thai' (Thai noodles). Also, the 'Mango Sticky Rice' dessert was amazing—it just melts in your mouth! There are so many other street foods to try. The fruits on the streets are very cheap, so I ate a lot of them.

Shopping and Entertainment

This is a place where you can buy a lot of things without burdening your pocket. Especially at weekend markets like Chatuchak, there is nothing missing. You can buy beautiful clothes and souvenirs at low prices.

One of the best highlights of my trip was the Dinner Cruise on the Chao Phraya River. The view of the city at night was breathtaking, with illuminated temples and buildings reflecting on the water. Enjoying a delicious meal with live music while cruising through the heart of Bangkok was truly a magical experience.

I'm still happy to this day that I chose Thailand as my first foreign trip. It wasn't just a fun trip, it was a lesson in a different culture, different people, and a way to see the world through new eyes.

  Our year connected to nature: Sinhala and Hindu New Year celebration As the environment is renewed with the sound of the Bak Mahe Koho, the most beautiful time of the year for us in Sri Lanka is the Sinhala and Hindu New Year. This is a wonderful cultural festival that shows the inseparable bond between nature and man to the world. The Sun and the New Year According to astrological beliefs, this festival is celebrated to mark the transition of the Sun from the sign of Pisces to the sign of Aries. This can also be called a festival of gratitude, which is celebrated by the farmers after the arrival of spring and the completion of the harvest, seeking the blessings of the gods. The most unique feature of our year is that the entire country performs auspicious rituals at the same time. • Nonagatya: A time spent giving priority to religious rituals. • Cooking and eating: This is when milk is poured into a new pot, and the whole family sits down to eat. • Working and making deals: This...

The happiest day of my life

Image
  The day I got accepted to the University of Fine Arts. T here are days in our lives that are forever remembered. Some days bring happiness, some days bring triumph. But the happiest day of my life was the day I found out I had been accepted to the University of Fine Arts. I had a higher z-score than I needed for the University of Fine Arts. I was worried about whether I would pass the practical interview. But I was confident that I would pass. A lthough this achievement was my personal dream, it was even more the greatest hope of my mother and father. They sacrificed their happiness and comfort to pave the way for me for many years. They believed in my abilities even when I lost confidence in myself. I will never forget the relief and boundless joy in their eyes when I told them that I had been accepted to the university. Their smiles are more precious to me than any award. I won not only for myself, but also for my mother and father, who sacrificed everything to bring me to th...

When I look back on my school days, the image that stands out among those fond memories is that of Sakunthala Miss. She was not just a teacher to me; she was the second mother in my life.                 We encounter many teachers in our lives. But there are very few teachers who speak to our hearts. Miss Sakunthala is the special person who directed my life in a different direction. If I am where I am today, the foundation for that journey was laid because of the immense guidance I received from her.                  ,A love beyond a teacher.I received from her the same love, care and advice that a mother would give me. She taught me lessons about life that went beyond the school curriculu...
