Chaiprakarn Trip

There were 2 main areas of Mango supply during my last week visit to Fang.

1^st was at Chaiprakarn and 2^nd was Wianghaer.

I had the opportunity to visit the Chaiprakarn site. Beside the fact of being born and lived in Chiangmai for almost half of my life as much as I could recall this was my 3^rd or 4^th visit to Fang

Chaiprakarn is small and compact town. There were 2 things really surprise me.

1^st Most people I saw used a more advance computer than I and Facebook was on every screen!!

2^nd Most people speak Chinese! This really puzzle me so I really had to search for more info when I got back and found out that Chaiprakarn was a strong hold for a division for the Kuomingtang Army (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuomintang.)

And also found their descendants point of view. http://chiangmaibusinessnews.blogspot.com/2009/06/blog-post_4774.html

So I learnt that lots of people knew this fact about Chaiprakarn.

It is also amazing how they pass on the culture, language also housing style; it really reminds me of China’s suburb. I shown these pictures to my Chinese teacher and she was really amazed.    

What I realize to myself is how narrow my experience and view are, I never knew there was such a place like this only 2-3 hours drive from my home. It shaken my confidents of what I think I really know it also reminds me that you can discover new things every day. You just have to accept being a fool and accept new things which are hard and it gets harder and harder when you get older.

I hope myself could maintain accepting new things as long as possible.
