That's some great feedback for Gili. I've discovered that I have a fascination for languages as well. What I've noticed about travelling a bit is the history behind it all is very captivating. I attempted to translate a Thai article about linguistic landscaping into English and utterly failed because it's beyond my depth of marketing lingo. But whilst researching the hell is linguistic landscaping, I've come to realize this is something I'm truly interested in, how did all these languages change the local society and slang? It's incredible stuff and I hope that you've made some really awesome Thai friends that help you with casual conversations :)
