One day he took a trip to the Laos with some guys. And he impressed with taste of French bread. But the fact that low literacy rates and level of living surprised him.
Another day he took a trip to the New Zealand for studying English. it's the first time he has stayed with another family. Fortunately they cultivated apples at their garden he was able to bring it to the school whenever he wanted.
