:: Someone said I've been Westernized
Yesterday in the class, my Thai friend asked me whether he'll see me next semester in school. Then I said yes, because I don't think 4 months would be enough to learn a language. And since I'm here anyway, I'll finish what I've started in oder to fulfill the purpose of my existance in this country.
Then he said, "But it seems hard for you for being here. " And I gleefully answered, "It's not I don't like it to be here. But I just found it hard to get adapted in this country, everything is so completely different." And then he quickly replied, "I think you've been Westernized already."
Regardless of what people saying, I am, however, still an Asian.

Hi Vin,
I know exactly how you feel... I lived in the Philippines for 9 months in 2000 - and I just found it sooo hard - culture, food, transport, weather (either very hot or very hot and wet), way of life - everything!
Now though, I regard the Phils as my second home - how I *miss* that country, most of all Melai... hehe!
Some good news, shes going for her interview at the Embassy on Monday... here's hoping it goes well :-)
How's your Cantonese coming along? :-)
