I'm in Singapore

Back for 2 days already. Love Thailand, but don't miss it that much, it's just 2 hours away anyway, we can always go back.

Continuing the previous entry which ended at the internet cafe, we went back to feed the mosquitoes at the hotel lobby. Slumped into a sofa that was not too comfortable and breeds mozzies. Gawd, I thought I would die. Went back to Ayutthaya and had many many nodes of nostalgia running through my little body. Seeing the kids, learning that these kids remember my name (and all you Aegiers out there, erm maybe some), realising that they remember all the songs we taught them, and the line dance too. It's great to see the villagers, and it is a great difference how villagers live their lives and how they treat us as compared to the people in the city. All the pushing and cursing can never be found in the village. If given a choice to live in Ayutthaya or Bangkok, I'd choose Ayu. anytime. BTW, the kids were pestering the principal everyday, asking him when we are going back. Awww!



Thinking back, just wanna laugh at ourselves. I mean, it's quite right to do it, but it's kinda funny. 1st thing we ask the cabbie is "meter"? Once he start saying funny things like "I drive you to XXX, very cheap, only 10b", the next thing he turns around, we are all gone. Hands always on the doorknob ready to jump off the cab.

Some Thai lingo

"cheep, cheep, no charge expensib, wholesale pri"
"i no make money"
"give me more, give me one more pri"
"same same locals, i sell you"

our lingo

"too expensive"
"paeng la"
"what is your best price"
"sell cheaper la, we buy more"
"don't sell cheap we don't buy"

Anyway, now it's time to move on in life and adapt to the Nan-Da lifestyle.
