To think I'm landed in Chiang Mai exactly one week ago and I couldn't wait for the week to end. Now I'm sorry that Friday has arrived and I only have one day left of sessions and shouting "skillshare!" when ever the mood takes me. I've learned a lot this week, mostly from the participants but then quite a bit from my fellow-facilitator's as well. A bit of what I know about doing training has been reinforced - those things being:

- You can never be overprepared.
- You should be ready to through whatever you've prepared out the window and do what you're gut tells you to do.
- Be flexible
- Keep to schedules
- Tell people what you're going to do, do it, then remind them what you did.

Mostly though, I've been humbled by the participants. Probably the session that will stay with me the most is best recounted in Cheekay (Bab's) Cinco's blog entry found here: http://c5.livejournal.com/67117.html

Oh yeah, the other thing is having a DSL connection that cuts in and out constantly is probably worse than having none at all.

I'm definately ready for some new surroundings, but I will be sad when it comes time to leave tomorrow and this unique gathering of individuals ends.
