Today we decided to meet back at Starbucks. Our conversation was somewhat all over the
place today. We touched on several topics one being the steps to become a
doctor in America. My conversational
partner was unsure about the steps one had to take so I explained the process
to him. We then compared it to the
process of becoming a doctor in Turkey.
They weren’t much different. We
talked about his plans to return to Turkey after completing his doctorate
here. He hopes to find a teaching position
at the university level once he returns.
After that conversation, we started discussing my plans of going to
teach in a foreign country and I mentioned Thailand. He then shared with me that the King of
Thailand had recently passed away and the people were grieving intensely. He showed me a picture of the king’s son saluting
military men in uniform upon arriving at the airport. We both got a good laugh out of the photo
because the king’s son was wearing nothing but ripped blue jeans and a vest
that barely covered his giant back tattoo. I was in awe. It’s so recent that I’m not sure what will
become of Thailand now that their king has passed, but I’m very curious to see.
