Long Live the King

As the new semester winds up to full swing, meeting all the new exchange students, taking them around, and sharing all their “firsts” makes me really excited and a bit nostalgic.

The other day, Michael and I watched a movie with Diego. His first movie in Thailand and, yes, we had to stand up for the King’s song.

I remember the first time I watched a movie in Thailand. Standing up for the King’s song was the first time I really felt like I was in Thailand. Its lame but I still get kind teary. HA. I guess I’m turning more Thai.

The overall massive love for the King is something I still have yet to get used to though. Yellow shirts on Mondays. Stopping everything you’re doing to stand at 8am and 6pm during the National Anthem. Standing up in silence before every movie for the King’s song and little slideshow. Yellow flags EVERYWHERE.

I don’t know.
