There are so many things I could write about (and maybe should have been writing about), but for now I just wanted to give a brief update and share some pictures.
For four full days now (seems like more!) I’ve been in the “Land of Smiles.” That’s a nickname that the country of Thailand has been given, and so far it has lived up to it, and I believe, with pleasure. Not only has the Campus Outreach team, with whom I am working, been warmly welcoming, but the Thai people have been quite friendly.
Maybe this is out of curiosity more than anything, but as a foreigner I don’t walk past many people without eliciting a small smile, often somewhat bashful.
As I write this, I sit at Coffee World (sipping a small frappe mocha) inside of a large mall in the middle of the city of Khon Kaen. I might be fooled into thinking that I’m in one of many large shopping establishments stateside, save for the fact that most signs are hieroglyphic to me and the surrounding chatter is similarly mysterious.
Enough writing though… Here are some of my experiences captured digitally:
