The Thai temple for which I was named

My favorite fruit:

Rambutan: The rambutan is a small, globe-shaped, red-skinned fruit with hairlike protrusions. It is a close relative of the lychee, and its flesh is translucent, sweet, and succulent. The rambutan is still best known in Southeast Asia, and most production and trade are concentrated there.

My trip to Thailand

I returned to the States in March of 1998 after spending about 6 months with my father's family in Thailand. I met many relatives. All of them were very kind to me. The language barrier was frustrating at times. I would like to have a better handle on the language before I go again, but even if I don't it would be worth it to see my aunt, uncle and cousins again as well as the other Thai relatives and the friends I made while I was there. This trip made me feel very American. There's nothing like spending time outside your own country to make you realize how much you are a product of your home.
