hey siobhann!! hmm well the culture, is very different, they dont really show enotion, when u greet some1 u hold your hands like your praying( its called the "wai") and say hello"sawatde-ka(women)-krup(men) when i first got here i tryd shaking peoples hands and stuff and nobody knew what i was doing. like at school, when i was introduced to people in my class i tryed to shaked thier hands, they looked at me funny, and one guy turned really red when i did, you usualy dont touch a guys hund unless your dating him. so oak finally told me to not do it and jus say hello. like i really miss hugging some1 when i see them:( umm as for the food its awesome, very spicy ,and in thailand they have more than one banana, one u bake it, another is is very small, like a fake one or something, and another is green, and one that looks like ours but a bit smaller, theres alot more that i havnt seen , but ill take pictures so u can see!! and oranges here arnt orange, thier green on the outside!! haha but orange on the inside. driving, everywhere these little scooter motorcycles, and the drives is on the right side, instead of the left. and as for the roads too
