Back Home
Got home four days ago. I think I was walking around in a daze the
first couple days back. Everyone around me looks like me and is speaking my
native language. This is very different... I also noticed everything
seemed to get a lot bigger here. The SUV's, the people, houses, etc.
After being the only white student in a school of 3,000 Thais, why do I
feel so out of place here? It might just take a while to adjust.
What I miss most from Thailand:
- Thai cuisine. All of it. It's not the same in America.
- Somtam, Kow neeow, Nam Prick, Pad Thai, Gai Pat Met Mamooang, Kow Man Gai, Kow Pad Moo, etc.
- Outdoor noodle shops open until 4am
- Going out to eat being an everday (if not every meal) event
- The fruit smoothie stands around almost every corner
- Staying at hotels for $5/night
- Buying a whole meal for less than a dollar
- Being able to find literally anything at the night markets
- Driving my motorcycle with three friends piled on the back
- The incredibly relaxed driving rules. The maximum fine for any kind of 'driving error' (no license, helmet, or any idea how to drive) is $7.00
- The fake brandname clothing, watches, and ripoff DVD's you can find at the markets
- The friendly Thai people
- My host family and friends
- and my school
