I love my friends to death. They're amazing people, and I couldnt imagine going through this exchange without them. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not asking it for any other way, but from time to time, and during certain situations, it would just be reeeeally great to have a guy around. Just another dude to be able to relate to in a slightly different way than is what I'm able to do with the girls.
For instance, tonight at a festival going on in our city, a group of guys brought their modded trucks to show 'em off. I was pretty excited, seeing as how I love cars and driving and all that good stuff, but since coming here, haven't been able to really do much about that. So tonight I walked over and took some pictures, and looked around for a bit. Not surprising, my friends weren't terribly interested... as in they just started walking away after about 10 seconds, while I still had my head in one of the trucks, gawking over the work the owners had done to their vehicles. As for talking about it to someone else afterwards... not happening. That kinda thing isn't exact up their alley.
And any Thai guy friends I have, well... Thai personalities are quite different from my own, and it isn't quite the same just chatting about guys things with them.
Just another interesting circumstance that you come across while on exchange. Who woulda' thought that being surrounded by foreign girls would bum ya out sometimes. Live and learn, I guess!
Hannah, Carol, Jenni, if you are reading this, I still love you guys, and like I said, I wouldnt want it any other way, and you do understand me better than I could have ever hoped for. But just imagine it the other way around, if you were the only girl amongst 3 guys. You would really appreciate some girl time from time to time eh?
Much Love,
William Cole
