Thank you for bringing me to this great restaurant
You’re welcome. So, tell me, Mike, are you
getting used to living Thailand?
Yeah. I haven’t had a lot of trouble adjusting
to life here so far.
Really? What was the easiest thing?
I would say the people. They’re so easy to relate to.
They are kind, friendly, and willing to help.
Don’t you find the traffic in Bangkok stressful?
It doesn’t bother me in the least. I lived in Sao
Paulo before I moved here, so I’m used to heavy
traffic. Also I prefer taking the subway to driving a car.
And what things aren’t you used to yet?
I’m not used to the spicy food and the hot
weather. Those are going to take a while.
What about the Thai language?
I’m able to communicate the basic things, but
I still find speaking Thai very hard. You see,
I’m a slow learner, and Thai has all these
different tones, which is difficult for Westerners.
Are you taking language classes?
No, I was thinking of hiring a really good
teacher. Would you be interested in teaching me?
OK. If you help me with my reports in English.
