Part 2 - My first time And when I came to Krabi, I can't find my friend, I have no a sim and no wifi here. It's very terrible. However, I have her address, I decided to rent a car around $ 25 from Krabi Airport to Ao Nang . I give a driver her address but he didn't know where is it so I gave him her phone number... "wait, I was so stupid, why I didn't borrrow Thai people's telephone number and contacted her", "ok, maybe they will not give you their mobile" I thought. The driver contacted my friends, she is waiting at the airport and asked him waited her at famous supermaket at Ao Nang. When he came there, he asked me get-off the car and wait my friend. "Please, wait until my friend come, I don't have sim, can't contact her, I can't find her" I talked. He said " I can't wait". Now, Thai people really made a bad impression on me, "I will never come back here" I thought, " Please wait 5' - 10', if she hasn't came yet, I will get off the car". P/s: I know it's too long but hope anynone can correct my mistakes. Thanks a lot

My first time This was a first time I traveled abroad and on my own. My friends asked me " Don't you feel scared?" , I said "Why, I am excited. Many interesting things are waiting me" A first time traveled by airplane toThai Land - A land of Smiles. I hoped that everything will fantastic. When I boarded the Air Asia, I coundn't put my bag on the overhead storage bins due to my height. I asked a flight attendant " Can you help me to put my bag on the storage bins?" He looked me and said " come and do together" . I was quiet upset I couldn't do that and asked his help but he was not pleasure to help in addtion the way he talked not approachable. At that time, I thought "ok, this is cheap flight brand, it can't give you good service". Actually, I have a french friend living in Krabi (Thai Land) for 1 month. I will come there and stay at her home. So, I need to buy Thai sims (telephone number) to contact her. I stoped at Bangkok airport and wait at domestic airport for connecting flight. The airport is nice and large, I went around to see and visited a store to ask if they sold the sim. "No" they replied, their face was very serious. I realized something, I visited another store and bought a smoothie drink and asked again " Do you sell the sim". They answered like the first store with no smiling even I bought the smoothie at the store. I tried to take it easy, and asked them " where can I buy the sims". " I don't know" they don't look at me and reply, her way like "Fuck off". What 's happened in the land of smiles. I wanted to come back my country now. Luckily, the wifi in Bangkok is quite good, I could contact my friend. My friends will wait at Krabi Airport and pick-up me. " Don't worry , we can't lost each other, the airport at Krabi is small" my friend talked.

Job! Job! Job! I really enjoy working in hospitality industry where I can meet new people, learn new culture, improve my English speaking, develop my skills. So, I applied some hotels with receptionist position. And I got 2 offers: + First hotel, they made a good impression to me. I like the environment in there. But this ones is new, they gave me a low salary. Because of starting up, they are not sure, they can make a profit or not. I want to work there, but it's not enough to expense for my life. + Second hotel, of course higher salary. However, I don't know why I am not enjoy atmosphere in there. Maybe I have a friend working there (Actually, I do not like working with my friends in same company) What should I do?
