First week survived. First school day, speach in front of ALL the students, first time I was homesick, first visit to China Town.
Everything went surprisingly well. Bangkok is still overwhelming. I wouldn't find our house, if I was more than 200m away. But I have the feeling everything is getting better.
I found some friends in school. Even if their names are still giving me a hard time. Everyone is friendly and taking care of me and Ele. I hope I will never forget (that's why I write it) the moment when ten or more Thai students stood around me. And holding the sports uniform in front of my body to see if it fits. Sometimes I feel like a baby but I get feed A LOT and they take me to the toilet and show me around. I think being a baby has its advantages.
My home sick almost disappeared. Right now all I desire from time to time is German food. Thai food is sweet and spicy and they eat a lot of fish and I like each of that. But I would give all I have for a good Currywurst Pommes. This is a plead to Mum and Dad. When I am back please prepare Currywurst or Rotkohl. Anyway most important MEAT. I miss meat.
I know this was a lot about food. Maybe I start thinking a little Thai because really. Food is number 1 on the What-Matters-List.
In order to tell something more interesting. Chinatown. Chinatown is overcrowded and it smells. Not as bad as you would think it would when you see all that food lying outside. Our visit was quite short, but it was hot so... Well actually it is hot everyday.
Tomorrow is Monday again. And Midterm Exams start. I will write my first English exam about a few chapters of a book which I still have to finish. Nothing I couldn't do tomorrow.
I think I'll post every Sunday. It is the most relaxed day. And I am really too lazy to post more often.
