Bangkok!

Last April 5-12, Netty and I had a blessing to go to Bangkok, Thailand. We were invited to participate in APYL (pronounced "apple" Asia Pacific Youth Leaders Consultation) as coordinators of Chi Alpha Philippines. That was from 6th-8th. We extended our stay to go around the city and spend time with friends Ptr. Rodel, Ate Alice, Ptr. Abe, Ptr. Sur, Ptr. Chad, Ate Renz and Nav). Thank God for giving us an opportunity of visiting this beautiful city.

This was the last night of the consultation. We went to a dining compound that had cultural shows. These two girls were on their way to the performance. We stopped them for a quick snapshot.
