I’m leaving Thailand!

I’m leaving.
Saying my last goodbye to Thailand.
To a country that has been nothing but a joy to me.
The country that no matter where I go, I want to return to.
Saying my last goodbye to nice people.
Saying my last goodbye to the smiling people.
Saying my last goodbye to the amazing people I met.
Saying my last goodbye to the Ajarn’s (professors) and staffs.
Saying my last goodbye to my fellow classmates whether its the Thai students or the USAC students.
Its been a great pleasure meeting everyone.
Each and everyone will have a place in my heart.
Everything and everyone has been a great memory.
Whether its…
The difficulties of understanding each others languages
The first time meeting my fellow Thai students in class.
The first time meeting my fellow USAC students in class.
The first time taking Thai Language which has been one the easiest class I have ever taken without studying or memorizing a thing.
The first time forcefully to be a representative of my nationality in International Day.
The first time representing my culture without the cultural main dishes.
Let’s have club sandwiches and fruit salad! It was a great success!
Surprise by how much Thai people love fruits with whipped cream.
The first time I celebrated Songkran Festival in Thailand.
The first time I was sung Happy Birthday to by the whole class).
The unorganized group projects that we never met up.
The unprepared presentations.
The fun school trips.
The nonsense class trips.
The goofiness in class.
The laughters.
The giggles.
The shyness.
The secret smiles
My many events attendants.
The many cheap things that also made me become cheap.
The many stares I give my friends when I spot a cute guy.
My understanding but cannot speak the language.
Having others in confusion when someone speaks in Thai and I reply in English.
This will forever be a memory of mines.
I am leaving my home. My actual real own home!
Bye bye Thailand! Until next time!
