Waiting for the rot-dtangs (red car taxis) to pick me and my classmates up for our day of rock climbing. Everyday here is another adventure. Every minute, really. The Center for International Programs staff introduced us to the W curve that one experiences while abroad. I think i experience the ups and downs of the w curve every five minutes here. In a good way, though, at least, so far.
same same but different- something that thais say to farang (white people/tourists) when they ask a question and they feel the answer is not exact. I’ve only heard it a few times, but i’ve seen several ex-pat farang wearing shirts that say it. I think it describes my experience well, people are people but the everything that surrounds them and produces them makes them so different. Watching my host mother laugh at dinner last night, she reminded of my mother at home. Same same, but different.
