10 things I like about this country

By ellisgang

One of my friends encouraged me in the midst of cultural shock to find the things that you like about your country. So since we have been here a short time here are a few:

  1. The people in the Isaan area are so friendly
  2. I love every-time I walk out of my gate, I here the words, “Pay Saaay”  Where are you going?
  3. Som Tom, Som Tom, did I mention som tom, oh and sticky rice.
  4. Everything is so cheap here, the three of us can eat dinner for about $1.25.
  5. The cows that eat in the open lot next door to our house.
  6. Pineapple
  7. There are flowers year round.
  8. The transportation system, you can go by car, taxi, van, songtow, tuk-tuk, subway, skytrain.
  9.  I love how you can get everything in menthol…. shaving cream, shampoo.
  10. The markets here. Basically you can find most anything you need.  From fruits, to raw meat, to shoes.
