They don't speak english ...

Ok, so yesterday I wasn't sure but now I am : most of the Thai of course don't speak or understand english !!! It makes sense.. why should they speak english when nobody does in my own country, especially in my country :D

I didn't take the exchange in Mexico because I was scared not to understand spanish good enough, I think it wouldn't have been worse lol

It will make things quite funny !

We went to buy bikes today but then we had to come back and it was too far and too dangerous to bike back to the campus ... so we had to ask a taxi ! But when he doesn't speak english how to explain that he has to wait for us until we get the bike ... we eventually met a girl who explained him in Thai and when we came back there were 5 people waiting for us taking the bikes and everything ... we were the big attraction of the moment .. sehr peinlich ;)

But at least we now have bikes to go around the campus, which is really huge but beautiful .. no photo to provide, but soon !!!

oh dit donc ma julie comme tu débrouille bien, moi ça m'aurait fait tellement peur que j'aurais compulsivement écouté tous mes cds de weezer. Et sinon on mange bien car la nourriture c'est que ce qui m'intéresse.
