Farangs
Yesterday at Thai class we were discussing who is a 'farang', or foreigner. According to Thai standards, farang really just means big nose. So myself and Laura, who is also a European mutt of sorts, are definitely farangs. Sam, however, being Philipino, is not a farang. We asked about Africans, and they are farangs because they have curly hair. It was quite an amusing discussion!
Hello. We are a family coming out at the end of Dec to teach at GIS, PE. Just wanted to say that we discovered this blog a few weeks ago and have enjoyed seeing all your photos and reading your comments. Our kids were especially glad to see your photos as it gives them a real insight. So thank you and look forward to meeting you.
