An Italian guy I met when I visited Sukhothai last month
I visited Sukhothai where is a historical town in the middle of Thailand last month.
The Buddha are quite stunning and peaceful.
There are beautiful lotuses all over the river along the temples in the historical park.
But this Italian guy I met in town impressed me the most.
I went to 7-11 to grab some cold drinks, escaping from the heat.
I was looking around to find a spot to park the bike from the hotel.
He was sitting on the bench outside the shop with a cup of espresso.
He said to me:"It's all right. You can leave it there."
So I did as he suggested, just left the bike near the entrence.
When I came out, I thanked him and we had a talk.
He told me with calmness that he was travelling alone for 3 months in Thailand.He was a professional poker-game player. He divorced with his wife after 9 years marriage. And the reason was that his wife turned out to be a lesbian. He had to respected that.
Personally, I do not judge people by their sexual orientation. I felt sorry for him because he lost his wife and family. But somehow I admired his wife's courage to find her own way. And I wished him a good journey at last.
