Let a kid watch starcraft and you've got a nerd for the day. But teach a kid starcraft and give em pizza, you've got a nerd for life. | ||

It is currently summer break in Thailand and school is closed. This has made it very difficult for the school to reach the students and tell them about the AfreecaTV/KCM event. The student's parents do not have phones and of course they do not email. Furthermore, many families have gone back to Burma for the summer. Thankfully, my fellow teachers at the school are very enthusiastic and excited about this event. They are doing all they can to make sure the event is a success. When I thanked them for their kindness, they wouldn’t hear of it and said, “For the children.” One such teacher went above and beyond in order to bring the students news of the event. His name is Teacher Bon. Teacher Bon took me and my girlfriend on an adventure around the entire village. It took us all afternoon and one of our scooters even popped a tire, but we visited over 20 homes and spread the news of pizza and games wherever we went. When we got lost, we had a student ride shotgun and lead the way. Here are some pictures of our ride through the village. ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/EznTjqH.jpg) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/kzkdcnh.jpg) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/R8XQQz8.png) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/1HgzkSW.png) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/gtLuMfA.png) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/XOKPcMF.png) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/mNRyahe.png) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/d7OlWLH.png) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/emCFEzw.png) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/bL4NnwD.png) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/8sgmfxZ.png) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/zBU55Rf.jpg) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/UIJ6gwx.jpg) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/hgy7QCX.jpg) | ||

KCM mentioned this in his voice-only radio stream yesterday. He asked the listeners if they remember the first time that StarCraft came out and we saw that opening screen with the three faces (z/p/t). He said that same feeling that we can never truly capture again from 20 years ago, that's what these kids are experiencing right now. It's an inter-generational, international sharing of the exact same joy and wonder. What's more is that, just like children's experience with computer games was limited in 1998, the same is the case for these kids in Pong pra baht (even more so). It's a perfect opportunity for us to indirectly travel back in time through these children's eyes. | ||

The first dark templar wave, the upgrades, seeing shuttle+reaver, storms, mass carriers, and hard-countering them with scouts were all great! I hope they'll continue to play and continue to enjoy playing but even if not I'm sure this event will be with them for a lifetime! | ||
