New Project

I'm planing about my new project about web site for sharing the language knowledge.

Actually I want to learn about how to built website via cms things because my work is about using cms for build website (well not that much so i want to learn more). So I think about sharing something so i can write blog and share them. My friend said website about language was more interested so it decided to build it! :D

Site plan

• sharing knowledge about language (blog)
  
• lesson for language
• keep track of user by using badges (actually i really need this function, so i started to learn about using website hehe)
• using cms (might be wordpress or drupal)
• word book (picture and vocabulary)
  

but wait,
one of my friends, he work on html5 and he told me it was realllllllyyyy cool you have to try!!!! Well, now i'm thinking about html5 might be better hehe.

The other problem is my language is not that good! So I think, now I'm learning Spanish, then my site might be teach Spanish for Thai online... How was it? Then I can share everything I have learn from University and share them online. (woooo, even you can watch them via university e-learning hehe) But, Hey! it's just for improve my computer skill, I don't care if no one know my site. (for now)

I still have no idea about the site name, site layout or theme. I hope I'll get some cool name for my Spanish site soon.

Video things

Hola!
Now my main responsibility in this period is making promote video for LMS.
Wait! what is LMS?
LMS is Learning Management System which can help student and teacher manage their study things via internet. Look pretty cool hah?

I'm not sure how long was LMS found but I used it since i was in university. Then i can't tell the different if have and no have would effect but I'm pretty sure that it's very useful because while i was a student, I always sent homework, test, exercise and so on via internet. As I just heard someone talk about online lecture, and it's mean LMS is one of the alternative way to learn. I didn't tell you like stay home and just watch the lecher via internet. But in case of when you want to study again before your exam or something.

Well but my work about LMS is just making video, not thing technical. So I just know how to use, how good is it. Actually I want to do something technical but seem like it's nothing in this period. But I'm happy with my work.... it's better than nothing. :)

Now I'm drawing storyboard, it's quite confuse me. I can't draw and my skill about art was terrible. Did you know? I used to be the camera man when i was in high school. At that time in my high school, it's really hard to find someone who can do camera, edit video or doing something with computer. Seem like in my class, it's only 3 or 4 people who can do it. And I'm the only one in the class who's join the student reporter(TYN) for technical team which has only 4 people from the whole student in school! I remember that time, I did camera, edit video, building website, record sound and including technical support for school audiovisual things. O_o That 's why I'm so popular for girl (well not really; but I did a lot like boy but wait i'm in school which as lots of girl. So they need some girl who can did lots of things boy can do) and lots of teacher always asked me for help for technical things even just turn on the video for student. O_o

Here is my picture from high school, quite...... nerd hehe

Anti-drug campaign, perform music from my own song :)

While I was camera man :) how was it?

And the last picture, you might not believe. I am athlete and make you have more surprise with the golden medal!!!

Well, I just wonder, how this blog is in this blog. It might be in my life style blog na. - -"

Germany Journey - St malo

Straßenverkehr(1)

Hi again! Last week me and my friends was talking about our experience about transportation and I think it might be fun if we share. :)

I heard lots of IAESTE student said that they had experience about missing the train. That's funny, because I also have that experience (several time). That wasn't fun at all at that time, but when we shared it's always fun.

The biggest experience for me was when I have to catch the bahn (train) to St.Malo to see my friends. Yeah from Germany to France alone, I'm crazy!

Firstly, I had to take the ICE train from Erlangen to Ausberg. Then I heard some German announcement, honestly, I didn't even know what happen. So I still waiting at the platform! It's cancellation announcement of my train! Oh my Gosh! Fortunately, the German man told me and help me finding the next train to Ausberg. It's in next hour. He told me "German train wasn't come when you need". That's Ok! I hope I can catch the next train in Ausberg. After that, I had to catch the next train to u but my train wasn't stop at Augsburg, Ohhh Myyy Goshhh number two! It's stop at Munchen (Munich). Screaming!! It's about one hour before my next train from Augsburg to France! What should I do! Then I was quickly find any train which the word "Ausgburg", then I found one and for make sure, I asked the staff there like "Das train go to Ausgburg, right?" Then she was doing like knot the head but she try to said yes in English but she couldn't. She said "Ja, ganau, arrrrr, exactly!" Thanks god, finally i got the train to Ausgburg! (finish for the first chapter)

Next, I catched the night train from Ausgburg to Paris, France. And, Ohhhhh Myyyy Goshhhh number 3! Euro night train, wooooohhh, didn't expect that. How could you say night train! Night train suppose to have bed or comfortable chair. But what I had see is the room with 6 seats, 3 seat in a row and face each other! Big screaming! Anyway, I'm to tired for screaming thing, so I slept all the way to France (some where in Paris). I woke up once when the officer asked me for the ticket and passport. I had to stamp another day ticket for night train! Oh gosh! I woke up again when the train stop, then I had to take the train to Paris but the officer told me that this train will go to Paris, If you have time you can wait. Ok, I'll wait. Finally, the train arrived Paris! Then I had to catch another train to St.Malo. Then, I couldn't find any terminal to St.Malo! What should I do!!?!?!?!! (Finish for second chapter)

Then I asked the officer how to go there, he told me that I have to catch the train from another station!!! What! Another station! Ohhhhhhhh Myyyyyyyy Goshhhhhh Number 4! Bigger screamimg! Then I quickly went to Metro and find the ticket to catch the metro. Oh! dear, I hadn't any euro coin for vending machine. Then I have to buy at the counter! T^T Oh God the line is very long and very slow. Then I notice that I already missed the train to St. Malo. I was really really mad! Then I ask my friends how to go there, he told me that I have to buy another ticket. Ok! it was about 11am, the next train to St. Malo was 3pm!!! Ok, it was only way to go there. I had to buy a new ticket. After that, another problem was the ticket for Metro! I told you that I hadn't got any coin, so there was a man ofter me a ticket. It's 1.6 Euro, the same price as the machine. So I bought the ticket from him but he had no change for me, he offer me 5 Euro for 3 tickets. (Crying) Ok! I had no choice again, I bought 3 tickets for 5 Euro. Finally, I got the train to St. Malo no matter I had to wait another 3 hours. Yeah! Finally I arrived St.Malo!!! Hell! Yeah!

Ask me for how long for the trip? It's about 24 HOURS! 1 DAY! from Erlangen to St.Malo. Wanna see how far, check it out from google map! Thank you EURail. I don't need to pay any extra money for the ticket, just extra money for reservation.

Germany Journey - Culture shock

Brief von Deutschland. (Kulturschock)
(Kulturschock - Culture shock)

Hi! Now I'm in Thailand. Sorry for stop writing blog for long time. Anyway, I started blogging again.

While I was in Germany, there are many things that I have to get used to such as food, languages, transportation and including culture.

First, greeting, actually, it's not my first time for foreign country but I still shock for greeting things. Yeah, I'm from Thailand, we just do Wai(ไหว้) and say sawaddee(สวัสดี) for greeting. We don't shaking hands, hugging or kissing that's why i always shock (but not much as the first time). Some of my friends know that I always surprise for foreign greeting, then, they tried to freaking me, hugging, lifting,,,,, anyway, if you want to freak me just hug me is freak enough. And again, somebody they don't know, anyway I don't mind but i just fell a little bit panic. Yeah, actually I think now i already get used to hug. (but not kissing or lifting, please) In my home town, I just do something like sniff kiss with my family (and with my close friend) that is the most thing i did. Sometime I just wonder, why guy do hugging with girl, why don't guy and guy. Just wonder. ('cause I'm girl, you know)

Then everybody know that if you were in Germany, you have to drink beer. Honestly, I never use alcohol before. (Nah, Just a little bit not even more than a gulp of 5% alcohol.) One reason is I was in Student Buddhist Club so it's immoral to drink alcohol. But just only a week, I had drink like 3 or more glass of beer (Oh my god!) I don't want my parents to know that but Hey! mom and dad, I was in Germany, how can I decline, isn't it? (hehe) But in Thailand, I can't even drink a glass of schnapps. It's not so good for girl to drink here. (Actually, I need just a glass of cocktail, can I?)

While I was there, when I have to stay at the hostel with other it's so shock. They naked in the room! Oh my god! And everybody with top less. I might say this is my first time for that, kind of shock ha? Not more than that, ..... I can't tell you in the detail, sorry. When I am here, I just saw girl with underwear, it was very embarrassed. Here, I don't even wear the armless shirt!

Somebody has notice that I always bow my head when I walk pass someone. I never notice that, it's automatically. It's one thing for pay respect for the other. And other thing, they told me that I always avoid to look at the eyes. Yeah! I know it's rude there to don't look at the eyes because it's mean I don't pay attention to them. But lots of Asian believe that if you look at your pair eyes, it's rude to them. So I automatically avoid to look at the eyes, sometime I didn't notice. Fortunately, my friends understand me, they know that is my nature. Actually i know that's rude and I try to look at my pair eyes but sometime I think, "Oh my god! I look at his eyes for so long, it might be not good." or "Oh my god! I'm afraid for staring for so long." I didn't mean to rude you but I was so afraid to staring, it's something I try to get used to.

It's good that lots of people understand asian girl like me. They are so kind especially my roommate she knows our culture and so kind to me. Miss everyone :D I know that something I don't need to get used to. Something Thai is the best for me. (hehe)

Germany Journey - Paris

Brief von Deutschland. (Paris)

Hi, I'm Patama Ramchune. I'm currently in Erlangen, Germany for taking the training program here.

Before I came to Germany, my first country that i have to stop in EU is France on 25 June 2010. I decided to visit my friends,Eve Pop and Louis, at Paris for 3-4 days and then take the train to Erlangen. The flight from Bangkok was so so so nice. I met such a good flight mate, he's so nice and help me everything that i need to know. But the only thing that i don't like is his girlfriend. (Booooo, just kidding) Then I have to wait for the flight to Paris at Abu Dhabi, there was very super dupler high technology, free wifi, free computer. I can stay overnight there actually. By the way, I arrived Paris around 7 o'clock more or less, then called my friends. Everything seem to be nice, unfortunately, the train from there place to the Airport was stop working!!! What?!? Yes, they are strike for something. Ok, so they take the bus instead and we met around 11 o'clock. (Oh! god) This was what i just heard from Thailand that Paris seem to have strike everyweek. Oh! ok, this was what I have to see once in Paris. Then, I have to spend all evening in the bed 'cuz i was very tired from the plain. There place was very nice, they have there own bathrooom and share kitchen with 2 other guys, not so bad.

Next day, we had city tour in Paris to visit the most popular place you have to see like Eiffel Tower, Champs-Élysées, the gate somewhere, Louvre etc. That was so nice, actually, i'm not the one who love to travel to see the popular place and take a picture to say like "Hey! i'm here", otherwise if i was with friends is alright. Then we stop at somewhere like the garden around Eiffel tower, that was so nice and relax, we taking a lot of funny picture. After that, everybody was so tired, so we stay in front of computer and do everythink like you do in thailand. (You know, you're the same, doing this routine.) Then we have a dinner at midnight (more or less). Oh! my god, I never have dinner at midnight since i was graduated! It made me feel like in the uni again. (oh common, it's just 3 or 4 month) Anyway, Pop and Louis was the good cook, i sware.(Hey! Louis do you need housewife.)

Next, I can't remember exactly what we were do, but we did something like shopping :) and I had a nice Paris desert. wow, i'll gain a lot of weight from that one. Then we went home and there was a projector in there room (for the project) and Louis just got the movie "Kick ass" so we stay at Louis room and watch the movie together. It was so cool, he projected the screen on the wall and we all lie down and watch the movie. (nice guys)

Nextday, we got up and went out so late. I could say like CPE time or something. Then I had to buy the ticket to Germany for the next day. I know that it was so late but what should I do? So we went to the train station office and bought the ticket. Unfortunately, it's no seat to go to Germany. Oh common, then I decided to stay longer of a day and it was good. Then we went to Château de Versailles. (It's a castle) but we didn't go inside because it was close. (yes, we went late) anyway, we stay at the garden for a while and made some funny video that someone might seen it already. (but there are more than that.... we are so "Grean"!) After that, Pop Eve and Loius have to finish there report and submit to there professor tomorrow, so they are in hurry and had to work over night, all i can do is just prepare the meal (but most of the meal was from pop, actually). Then I went to bed around 2 or 3 am. And when I woke up in the morning, I was surprised, why Eve's snore so lound, then I got up and see,,, Oh! goddddd Jezzzz, Loise was sleep on Eve bed!!! what should i do, what should i do? (well, do i need to do something, he was sleeping - -") Then I stared to turn on my computer and doing the same routine. I don't know why but the sound of his breath make my mind blow up for sure. So I need to listen to the music to stop thinking about the sound....

Then after they woke up, we went to there school (or University) It didn't seem like university at all from my view but that was nice. Then we tried to find some French meal, and I have Cruz cruz with big sausage (or something - -") anyway, i don't like cruz cruz now. That evening, the internet was down, so we can't to our routine thing. Then me and Loise went to the music room. Wow! how coooooooool was that place! It was all I need to have all the time. There are a lot of instrument (yeah! except Guitar) and we were there such a long time, I can't remember how long but that was so coooool. You can see me using the DJ. thing here >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE5Cae91poU

Then, it's time to say goodbye guys, see you next time. I have to catch my train From Paris to Stuttgart and Stuttgart to Nuremburg and Nuremburg to Erlangen. Cooool! man I am with 28-kilo-bag here! with 3 connection but it was fine. Not so bad than I expect.(well i didn't expect for the bad things just in case) And It was nice to see my friends there before my huge journey in Germany.
