My Scholarship entry - A local encounter that changed my life

WORLDWIDE | Tuesday, 21 February 2012 | Views [229] | Scholarship Entry

When I first arrived in Thailand I could not believe it happened finally!
Before I had thai friends and knew a lot about Thailand, about country, about rules, about peoples live there.. And finally I saw it with my eyes, in real, touched it!
I found a whole beautiful country, not a man or two, not a group of people, but a WHOLE COUNTRY of people which are living with the rules which I always assumed people should live with!
I was travelling around country with a tours, alone with a buses, walking, talking with people, looking everywhere, behind an every corner... I was looking how people live, play, work, what they eat, try and taste some local meals I could get...
Travelling in Dubai gave me other challenge, I found some things common, and some very different.. Cousine, common spicy and different same time, especially!
Later travelling across VietNam was unforgettable, and again, I was digging inside peoples live...
Next, when I visited Sri Lanka I had very good opportunity to compare, travelling across country, what is common and what is different...
And I am looking forward to visit Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines... Visit and see thir changes on my life.
