Experiences in Life
We’re in Bangkok, in the back of a taxi. It took us three tries to find a driver who’d take us to our hotel for 100 baht, or about $3. The first asked for 650.
“Too much!” we cried. He let us walk away. We were outside Wat Pho, the oldest and biggest temple in Bangkok. It’s a cabbie’s market.
Our driver has the radio on, and my ears perk up when the music stops.
Learn English in 1 minute.
I’m intrigued. One minute? The proposal is both absurd and magnetic, like teasers in women’s magazines. Become Your Best Self in 17 Days. Get Fit in 5 Minutes. I’m curious to hear what handy phrases the radio voice imparts. Most Thais we encounter understand a smidgen of English. Their mistakes amuse us. A yellow bottle is labeled "musturd." A roadside sign reads "Drink Don't Drive."
Currencies
There’s a Thai translation, and then: Experiences in life cannot be bought by currencies.
Currencies
Remember to practice your English every day because practice makes perfect.
The minute ends, and so does the segment. Experiences in life, indeed.
