This is it! I'm leaving Bangkok tomorrow morning. My journey isn't done yet though, because I'm going to Vietnam for a few days as well. This past month has been a big learning experience for me. I've learned how to get outside of my comfort zone and immerse myself in Thai culture. My tolerance for spicy food has definitely gone up, and I can't wait to cook using my new Thai cookbook!
I definitely learned that we don't need as many material things to be happy in life. I saw a lot of people who didn't have much, but they were surrounded by their families and they were happy. With more money you get more problems.
One big thing I've enjoyed here is how polite everybody is. People are very patient here and don't lose their cool easily; this is something that I think Americans need to work on a little bit. Patience will definitely come in handy as a pharmacist.
The people here in Thailand are awesome and I'll always remember my time here!
