Almost two months

Written by Mix

It was just around 2 months after I came back, I feel like this is a long long time. I think, I can adjust everything back about cultures, not completely do but almost. I still walk across roads in Bangkok without looking around well *ENOUGH* I’m starting to get a little bit fatter. I found out Thai people eat everything on anytime when their hands are free.

This one month, I did try to study, did exams and read some books. I wasn’t that good in the mid-term exam like I have been but the results didn’t that bad too. My brother and I now use the same room. (my home owns enough rooms) My parents said, I have slept in the same room with Isak. Why couldn’t I sleep in the same room with my brother? (This is their reason to save money for electricity bill!) = = Anyway, I don’t have enough time for Internet or computer as usual. I go to school in the morning 6 o’clock and come back with my dad’s lift around 6 or 7 o’clock in the evening. My routine was changed. I cannot go out from my home by myself, because the bus stop is far from my home around 1.5 kilometer with out a walkway, the metro? It haven’t been here yet. Addition, there aren’t bus time tables. Just wait there until it comes, if it doesn’t? Wait there until it comes!

I’m still working hard to find my dream job… haven’t yet hope it will come soon. There is a medical exam for doctor entrance this October. I think I would try it anyway.

This week, our inkjet printer died, so we couldn’t print anything out. We had this topic to discuss in our family’s dinning table (It is always a good time and place for discuss something) My mother, my brother and I did a chart to show how expensive a maintenance and ink toners cost in 1000 pages compared with 1000 pages by laser printer. Finally my father (was forced to) agreed with us and brought a brand new LED color printer from Brother, LH-3040CN. It is so expensive but hopefully it isn’t that expensive while we are using. The quality is just fine but sharp. It comes with Ethernet port, 300 MHz processor and 32 MB of RAM (That’s a bit too little).

I found out IT produces in Thailand are very very inexpensive! There were a lot of foreigners who are interested by our cheap produces was shopping in the biggest IT mall of Thailand while I shopped with my dad last weekend. But if something is imported from US or Europe it is so expensive for us. (Well, with the same price as it is in US) I feel no surprise why many foreigners design to live here… with money they can get outside but pay for the price here… heaven…

Ó, I suppose to study, see ya! :)
PS. There is many problems between Thailand and Cambodia, if I have time, I will show how does Thailand say.

Difficult Weeks

Written by Mix

I’m here, Thailand, for almost two weeks now. I still cannot adjust or adapt myself, my body or my feeling with this country.

At school, my friends are very nice to me. They teach and help me almost every subjects. Some of my teachers are helping me, some are not. Also with the Thai education system, I had to do one of university exams last weekend. I even haven’t known about the exams. Just came in to the class, ramdom answers, waited or slept until the exams was ended. I have to do next university exams in October, those are the last one and most important one. I have three months for preparing my LIFE exams… Gosh.

Hot weather… very hot, extremely hot and so wet. I cannot stand too long outside air condition room. My parents told me, I will be fine and will be adjust with it soon… I hope they are correct.

Food; liked my last entry, I’m missing cheese, pizza and lasagna. I found one supermarket close to my house sold it. But it was too expensive to buy. So, I just backed home and eat more Thai food… I feel it is so hot and spicy than I had.

With my family… My brother, he has more responsibility than he was. My sister… she is very talkative as usual. At first, I felt so strange, liked I was an exchange student in their house, liked started a new life. Now, my parents, they took my opinions and talked to me much about my year… my story that I cannot finish to tell, that I can rerun in my brain everytime I want. My story, that cannot be forgotten by me.

Hope my mothers, my fathers, my sisters and my brothers are fine. I’m not fine but will be soon. :)
