Hi! My
name is Ailin Accorinti. I am from Argentina! and I have been in
Thailand for six months. The first weeks I had a cultural shock…the
culture was strange compare I used to in my country. I was scared to
crush the car when my host parents drive in the left. Fortunately it
is so common for me now!
The food which I
saw so rare and spicy, and fruits I have never eaten before, are now
very delicious! I like somtam (papaya salad), Thai melon (orange
color), seafood, noodles and a long list of delicious foods.
In spite of
missing eating with a knife, I’ve learned how to use just a spoon
and fork and sometimes chopsticks too. I have to continue
practicing the last one in order not to be ashamed.
In Argentina, I
used to eat 4 meals not too much for breakfast and dinner so early.
As a result, I always had stomachache the first month.
Even though I
had some problems with the electrical system and with my cell phone,
my host family has helped to solve them and I had to buy a new one!
I have had the
opportunity to visit cities and beaches in the South. I have been in
Krabi, Phuket, Tha sala, Lansaka and some more. I think there are so
wonderful beaches! When I changed to my present family, they took me
to the zoo where I touched and rode an elephant what I’d never done
in Argentina before.
Thai people have
been so nice and friendly to me! Although we can’t always understand
each other, one smile solves all problems!
In spite of
feeling alone and like a stranger the first time at a new school, I
have made a lot of friends and I wish I could make more! They are so
friendly and helpful so that they make me feel comfortable!
I’ve been
studying the Thai language very hard and I want to improve it still.
If I knew their language, the relationship building would be easier
and better.
I would like to
stay more time in Thailand or come back some day!
Gracias por todo,
********************************************
I’m leaving
Thailand today, so I want to say good bye and thank you to everyone
I’ve met!
I got so
many new experiences living in this city for six months! I came to
school every day and made good friends!
The first days at school I enjoyed an English camp! I
danced and acted! It was funny! And I met the friendly students of M1
English Program. SANOOK MAK MAK!
I also
participated in two parades: sport’s day and mother’s day! It was
interesting! I learnt that Thai people had to prepare so many hours
before! And I understood how difficult it is walking with Thai
clothes on - 'ha-ha'
.
In the last
time I had the opportunity of visiting a school near Nakhon Si
Thammarat. I concluded that Thai students are friendly in every
school where I’ve been
:-)
I enjoyed
very much Nakhon Si Thammarat and specially Kanlayanee Si Thammarat
J
.
Thanks to
everyone who made me feel so comfortable in this school, especially
thanks to the M510 students, the M1 students, the English Program
teachers, my host family and of course Aj. Mayuree, the Head of the
EP.
I hope I
come back again someday and see you again! I will miss all of you!
See you the next time!
Sawadii Kha! Khopkun ka!
