( we went toTramline's festival )
First time in 25 years of my Thai(ago) life. I have never ever thought, I will move away from my family, my hometown and Thai food! Now, I wanna go homeee. Too cold, food blend, different language, totally opposite culture and believed. Well, I can’t really complaint cos I already become one like you guy.
Trying to find a job was horrible. I had no job experience in UK. But,I have an English degree from Thailand. I have been work as a tour guide. My speaking and listening was alright at that time. I used to have an American accent. British said “Why you have that accent”. I have no idea. As my university hire so many random English teachers to teach at the univesity. It wasn’t my choice. Now, “Who’s this Yorkshire woman”. I can tell you now, it wan’t my choice neither.
Anyway, I started my first job as a cleaner. My boy friend/husband(Long story)'s friend, told me to take it. I have no choice(again). I worked for 2-3 weeks and one of my friend’s bf/hb said “They need chef in the kitchen”. I went back to work next day and said, “I can use knive!”. At that time, I don’t care, I don’t wanna clean, I wanna cook (Huge mistake, Massive!). They told me to follow some recipe. From then, I did cleaning and then stay on afterward to training to become a line chef.
I remembered, my first day as a line chef. I worn a uniform to shown my bf/hb. I look so proud (Trust me!) I wasn’t speak much. I trying to listen what they say (Sound so weird), too short of word, some of a word not even a word, a lot of swearing (Chef knows) and mainly men. I finally become friend with a few of people there. They starting to interested in me (mostly thought I’m Chinese). For a while, this guy (become my best friend) asking ” What your real name?” I said, ” Palmy Lee”. He said, ” That isn’t on your passport wasn’t it! What is your real name? (He’s trying so hard to speaking not Yorkshire). I said’ ” Hrinyaphorn”. He said, ” A WHAT?!?!”. ” Hrinyaphorn”. He looks at me for a second and said, ” I can’t pronouce your name. I’ll call you Happy Thai Porn”. And walked off!
