Learning Curve

As we began to explore the neighborhood around our apartment, we are experiencing a sharp learning curve in Thai language and culture. Thankfully, they are very gracious people and everyone seems to be tickled pink at our efforts to communicate. We bought some of these oranges ("som" in Thai) at the local market.



This is a house shrine at the neighbor's place. They seem to be big fans of their ancestors. Even left them a glass of water. These little shrines are ALL OVER the place.










This is really interesting to us. They really have no separation between business and religion. This is Nissan's shrine area in the parking lot.
