The Smiling Buddha [antikvár]

1 My first day in Thailand: ji't; I like Thailand. It's different. I like the country. I like the people. I like the temples too. There are temples everywhere. They're quiet, peaceful places. And they're full of beautiful things. On my first day in Thailand I visited a temple. A temple on a hill. I met a Thai girl there. She was very friendly. She asked me a lot of questions about myself. 'What's your name?' she asked. 'My name's Gordon - Gordon Taylor,' I said. 'But my friends call me Tinker.' 'Where are you from, Tinker?' 'I'm from Austraha.' 'What do you do there?' 'I'm a writer. I'm an artist too,' I told the girl. 'I write stories and I draw the pictures for them.' ^ 'That's interesting,' she - said. 'I studied art at university. Now I work ^ J^ for the Thai government. - I work for the Fine Arts Department.' 'What's your name?' I asked her. 'Supaporn,'the girl said. 'Can I call you Sue?' 'Yes. Of course.'
