Working my way into the culture one step at a time.

There is something about living in a foreign country that takes a toll on your spirit.  I’m not saying that I hate living in Thailand, I’m just stating that it takes getting used to.  Back home everyone uses the term “Foreigner” very losely, Now I am on the other side of that term, I am a foreigner.  I have a new found respect for people who immigrate into a totally different environment, because it is not easy at all. Everyday tasks, such as checking out at the gas station turns into a 4 hour ordeal, due to the language barrier. Trying to get from one place to the other using the road signs is borderline impossible, and don’t even get me started on trying to order a meal.  At the end of the day I am still thankful for this opportunity and the chance to grow from this experience.
