Hello! This is going to be my first post ^^
On the evening of 9 April 2010, a French artist and his German friend came to my host's house to sell some paintings. I didn't really know who he was until my host mom came and told me to meet him because he had a painting he did from Thailand!!! So I went to see the picture; it was a painting of two took-tooks (very beautiful). But that's not what surprised me, what surprised me was that he spoke Thai!!!! He told me ‘Sawadee krub, pud pasa Thai dai mai?’ it was amazing, we talked for a while; he was incredibly good in Thai; as if he had mastered it! He said he had learned Thai in Chiang mai for only 3 months!!! 3 months!!! Only a short time, he can speak fluently in Thai. After that, the artist went home; he couldn’t sell any of his paintings (my host house has paintings everywhere, there’s even more in the basement). It was getting late so I had a shower, dressed up and went to bed.
At first I thought that was the end of meeting him until the next day, he and his friend came and invited me to go to the city of Landshut!!! It was incredibly fun; I was mostly talking Thai all the time with the French artist (haha), I haven’t speak Thai for so long (after the LOC; Late Orientation Camp). He is actually the first foreigner here that I met that can speak Thai and the first friend that is an artist (painter), so many things I got in Germany, AFS is amazing! ^^
P.S. I’m typing in English because AFS is an international program, so use English! Hahahahahahahahaha
