After all, most, of my trips to their I want to learn Thai, or I need to know “*why’’ and ‘‘how come.’’ Michael and Ellen have been a cushion to fall back on. When. things start going and you start to fall, everyone has to have some ot fall back on to and start climbing again. In Canada, | had friends and family. In Thailand, | still have the family, but they’re a long ways away, so I turned to Michael and Ellen and they have given me the support that I needed. They gave it freely, and never asked for anything in return. Before I go home, which is still eight months away I must find some way to repay their kindness. I’m asking for ideas, My next topic is the Thai people themselves. Thais are everything — wonderful, thoughtful, caring, kind, patient, forgiving, hospitable, calm, that I’m well, and that everything is going well. The entire Thai lifestyle can be summed up in one Thai phrase mai pen lye,”’ which roughly translated means ‘‘it doesn’t matter."’ They seem to live by this phrase and their whole life revolves around it. Most Thais are very calm and collected in even the most hectic of situations. In addition, Thais will go to great lengths to make even the most tedious task exciting, so that any office or meeting is constantly filled with laughter and jokes. The Thais are so happy-go-lucky, they’re a genuine joy to be around, Next — a few words on culture. Thai and Canadian cultures are very different but it is the subtle differences which cause the greatest difficulties. My biggest difficulty to overcome is the fact that status comes with age, and nothing can be done to experience. polite, and above all, understanding. I have just describe Thais. Agais, like most things in Thailand, they defy mere words. The only true way to appreciate these people is to live among them. I personally guarantee that it will be a most rewarding The Thais msut be experienced. Short holidays don’t cut it, you have to get to know them, and it is worth the effort! Each new day brings new surprises and new revelations about Thai people and their way of life. I am continually amazed by their genuine generosity and hospitality. Every Thai family that I’ve met has done everything they could to insure speed up that process. Until a student graduates from high school and enters university he is still considered a child. A student has virtually no opinions at all. Well, that’s not true. They have them, but they’re not allowed to voice them, and this is as you can imagine caused severe problems. I have an opinion on everything, whether it concerns me or not, and when I found out that no one was even to listen to what I had to say, I was quite affronted! I have learned since that once.an ‘‘elder’’ has spoken on a matter it is virtually a law and I found this most difficult to accept. Even if an “‘elder’’ makes a statement and it is wrong or incomplete it still stands.
