spoke to my thai friend today and found out many sad things.
he's been suffering here and it's partly 'cause he can't speak english very well.
many americans think they know it all.
like the world is only america?
they think we're the frog in the well.
but here's the newsflash -
they are the ones who've been living in a cave.
typical conversation with an american...
me: it's a hot day, huh?
american: yeah. where are you from?
me: singapore.
american: oh singapore!
me: do you know where that is?
american: yeah, it's near China right?
me: no! we're nearer to indonesia than China.
american: oh! but what language do you speak back home? Chinese?
me: we speak english. that's our 1st language.
american: no! really? you speak english?!
it surprises them that there is an asian country that speaks english as their first language.
so tell me who's been living in their own world.
then again,
there are some who are really nice too.
well,
well,
actually the really nice ones i've met are from puerto rico and venezuela.
so they don't really count as americans either.
LOL.
i just hope my thai friend is finally happy now that it is already his last day.
no more suffering from the racist bunch.
haix.
tt's life for you.
then again,
you always gotta look at the bright side of things.
otherwise, u'd prob be miserable all ur life. ;)
