(again, translated into English via Google Translator  - can&#39;t review due to lack of time; original version in Portuguese)   phase near the end (the middle)  Early December 2554/2011My last hours in the Thailand activated my hormones adrenaline. My &quot;father&quot; Thai, embrigado driving and refusing to stop. I had to pull the handbrake and walk away with my colleague from Poland, the project participants at a nearby school (1 hour drive on the highway).   I called to assist teachers in the middle of the road late at night. I asked a friend to transfer money to me for my Thai Card (since continued without my card and no money) and when I went out I forgot the password. The card was held at the ATM. I fled to a nearby town with my colleague and the teachers.  When I arrived in Bangkok, relieved the weight and let everything quiet. I bought presents for my &quot;family&quot; and sent a letter. What I hear is that I always cry when they talk about me with other school and community ...  Seeing the pictures of one of the teachers, I share one curious to view the issue is gender. It is pink, in a friend&#39;s wedding transvestite (center), who married the guy in white. (FIGURE 1)  ****I began to discover that during my journey in this intense semester I learned a lot to show my own feelings, which are simpler. I always had this self-criticism and difficulty of communicating what I feel (not what I think). Simple as are the Thais, they have this ability (sensitivity, spirituality?) In a unique way. &quot;I&#39;m conscious of what you said, but something inside hurts ... You should not have said that&quot; - I once heard someone and found simple and complete.  Now, I rented an apartment in Bangkok again. I have two weeks of classes and exams to pretend that I studied for one semester. Offered shelter to a Finnish friend who does not know what to do, and stayed here a few days. I was drafted to be the guest speaker for a training conference for new &quot;buddies&quot; of foreigners coming to Thailand for projects in AIESEC.  Before, with the help of military service, I visited my aparatmento still surrounded by water (80 cm). Garbage, snake, rat, dog and lots of dead destriucao. It was a war.My flat on the ground floor, completely destroyed. Do not remove the belongings were lost, including those placed in a position just above the wardrobe - I never imagined that the water level would reach almost 3 feet tall.  ***Quickly divide Rapida questions that I caught the attention these last days:  FIGURE 2 - In almost every house, building, commercial, business and even bus stations in Thailand for a little house like a temple, usually near the entrance, which is called &quot;House of the Spirits.&quot; They protect the house. The Thais also make requests and promesssas through these houses.  FIGURE 3 - &quot;Offer your seat to the monks (the train)&quot; The accents are also given preference to children (I witnessed one lady, elderly, give rise to a 10 year old)  FIGURE 4 - The adaptation of the Ronald McDonald McDoanld saluting the public with the &quot;Wai&quot;.  Video: In this video, there is a typical example of how the Thais behave every day at 8 am and 18 pm. Everyone is standing motionless, with upright and silent, the hymn respecting the flag and the monarchy. I witnessed several times going to the university at 8 am, even once looking to buy my ticket and she raised the balcony, looking at me without answering. The video is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8DCAPsGtkA&amp;feature=related  Another curious fact is the time to tell here. Several times I got information that sounded to me completely confused. I understand this week that they divide their time of day into 4 parts. Follow the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-hour_clock  *** DEC 20Singapore seems a striking example of capitalist development in a cosmopolitan society governed with authoritarianism. Recife weather conditions with twins, and the dynamics of the economy is based around the port development. The official language is English, but there is all the languages ​​come from differences faces / ethnic groups. Do not deny that it is quite strange to see oriental faces with native English. Scientific progress is valued and acclaimed by sculptures and messages.Indeed, it is the city / country (or city-state) more developed in terms of progress of the capital I have visited. In the plane, before landing, the first message I got to fill in the form of immigration was, in red capital letters: &quot;DEATH TO DRUG DEALERS UNDER THE LAW OF SINGAPORE&quot;. Smoking is prohibited on public roads, and the fines for littering are severe gum and mainline. Being small, expensive and overdeveloped, I thought it would be better to continue the trip to Malaysia. I&#39;m on a bus and get there around midnight and try to find the hostel where a friend is.
