Hello from the Land of Smile – Thailand!
I am Andrei, proud LCP of AIESEC TEAMisoara for 2010-2011 and now I am in the national team of AIESEC Thailand responsible for talent management and local committee development.
So I must tell you that the experience of me being here it is by far the most exciting and challenging thing I have done until so far. Imagine that it was my first time to fly, my first time in Asia, my first time for a lot of things. Imagine Romania with all its traditions, with the way people talk, behave, drive, use public transportation, react when you smile at them, react when something bad happens – imagine Romania with all the stereotypes…and now… Imagine the opposite!
So If you are very good at this exercise you can imagine a little bit of Thailand. Everything here is different from what I was used to. People here smile when you smile at them, people here are very calm and nobody is using the horn of the car, you can find food everywhere here – and a lot of it, you can find fish in small recipients on the side of the streets, you can find skyscrapers, you can find a highway in the middle of the city, all of this in a city of 12 million people!
It is still my 22nd day here, and I had a little taste of what Bangkok and Thailand is, and I am sure there is more to come. My only advice for you is to find and take advantage of any opportunity that you can find to challenge your comfort zone, to challenge everything you were used to, because it is the best way to grow in a better person!
Take a leap of faith!
