THE LAND OF SMILES

What comes across on your mind when you see the title above? Land of Smiles..... these are the word that came out when I tried to search what Thailand is known for. When we are writing this post, Zuk and I, were discussing on what should we put as the tittle for this entry. 

I would love to put our title as 'THE NEVER COLONIZED LAND' meanwhile,Zuk would love to put it as 'THE ELEPHANT LAND'.

But when we tried to google it, we have different result. So, we name our post as 'THE LAND OF SMILES'.

Sirampuj’s painting works off Thailand’s slogan “land of smiles .

But.... why would we search for Thailand information in our blog?

buffering....

Oh Yes!!! We are talking about Thailand because our international friend is from there!!!

Have you ever heard the Malay phrase "Tak Kenal Maka Tak Cinta" (You Can't Love What You Don't Know) ?

So, now we are going to introduce our international friend to you.

And...... she is a girl (same with me and Zuk). Hehehe

Let us start with her name.

Her name is Rusnanee Kareema and you may call her as Nani.


She said that the culture in Thailand is when they are greeting, they should say Sawaddika/kad.

                                         





She also added that at 6 am and 8 pm, they must stand for the National Anthem.

Now, let us talk about food.

 What do you think their famous food there?



She mentioned that the most famous food in Thailand are Somtom, Tomyam and Padthai.

Tomyam

They have interesting food and cultures, right? But.. what did she find Malaysia interesting enough which make her to further study here?

Her answer why she chose to come here because she wants to practice English and change herself and become better. She also said that she loves environment and society here.

Inshaallah, in the next entry, we will travel through the cultures of Thailand
