After the first few hours of stumbling through daily life, you quickly come to terms with the fact that you will not do anything right, ever, and that, yes, those 4-year-old Thai girls are laughing at you. Once you make that realization, the rest of the stay is infinitely easier. This is not to say that the Thai people are mean or condescending, it is rather a demonstration of their zest for life, as they find humor and joy in nearly any situation. Rowan Cornell-Brown MHS Class of 2005 Went on to Emerson in Boston ~~~~~ I know from my reading that Thais hate conflict and love to laugh. Believing that laughter can defuse pain and embarrassment, they see humor in situations that westerners would not. Something about our dancing is apparently pretty funny, and we are now laughing, too. Irene Racz Chaperone |
