Today in class we were doing family introductions and stuff in Chinese. When the teacher called on one of the Thai guys she suddenly said something like, “I have a Thai girl as one of my students in one of my classes and she told me its very very hard to get a good boyfriend in Thailand. She said that there are a lot of girls but not that many guys.” Then she went on to say that some guys there are just so so beautiful that they are prettier than the girls and that a lot of guys become girls or that there are a lot of those people who aren’t neither male or female. Then she goes, “It is a culture thing” and all 3 of the Thai guys go, “Bu shi culture! Bu shi culture!” (not culture!). The class was cracking up lol. I guess they didn’t want their culture to be known for that haha.
It’s the 3rd week of classes this week and I’m kind of amazed at the amount of people who cut. Only maybe half or less of the class has been showing up for both sections today my teacher said the class next door only had one student show up. I just don’t get how people will pay so much to come here and not even attend the classes. I’m even more surprised that it’s the Asian kids who are cutting since I figured Asian cultures always put a lot more emphasis on education and attendance than we do lol.
