P' First does America

P’First is Nuch’s 17 year old cousin; her father who is a Policeman in Song Klah is Nuch’s Mum’s Brother.

P’First as been lucky to get on a project for her to go and live with an American family for a year, the main reason being she is Muslim and the US is keen to tell the rest of the world it’s not so bad.

Last week P’First left for the US, she is going to stay with a family in Washington State in North West US. She is in for some major shocks, whilst I can only compare P’First with girls of that age in the UK, I’ve listed below a few differences she will find.

The weather, Washington is going to be cold and bear in mind when the temperature goes below 25C, most Thai’s break out the thermals; she is in for a big shock.

P’First main goal is her education, boys, drinking, drugs, shopping have hardly touched her life, I recently took her to buy some clothes and found out her Mother still buys her clothes.

Food in the US whilst being fantastic for my taste will be a source of a few problems. Getting original Thai food and ingredients will be a problem.

Lastly, the Thai’s are so family orientated, being away from her family is going to be a huge problem, and technically she want speak Thai now for a year.

I hope everything goes well for her, which I’m sure it will, I just hope she remembers she is Thai.

In the piture below, the people are moving round from Nuch, Uncle, Elder Brother, Kuking, Nuch's Mum and her younger Brother.
