For those that don't know exactly where Singapore and Thailand are... don't worry, I wasn't 100%!b(MISSING)efore I started this course, either. Singapore is at the tip of Malaysia and is a City-State. It has an incredible, booming economy and is a thriving, 1st world economy. Think skyskrapers on a small island with zero traffic, and English is one of the many official languages.

Thailand is the only southeast asian country that was never colonized by Europe. Thais take great pride in that. We'll be in Bangkok, then we're heading north to Chiang Mai, then south to the beautiful Thai beaches on an island near Phuket. The Thai language is very difficult - one word can mean many things based on the inflection. For example, maa could be dog, horse, come, or mom. You certainly don't want to say to your mom "dog, come here."

Sawa dee ka (goodbye)!
