So as previously mentioned in earlier blog, for the past week or so I have been experiencing a serious case of homesickness. I suppose if I were to attempt to fit it into the culture shock chart I would have called it my 'hostile phase'. Don't get me wrong, I was not hostile--merely I missed home with such aggression that it made me resent certain things about my surrounding and made it more difficult for me to accept things around me. For lack of better language, I was in a slump.
However all of this changed when a group of Thai friends asked me if I was interested in going to Monkey Club to see Tattoo Colour! Of course I was interested....they are my favorite Thai band!!! As trivial as see a new favorite band live, it was just enough of a pick me up to lighten my recently 'slumpish' mood. The entire experience was really unique. I found myself comparing the concert to any American concert I had been to. While there were some differences, I still felt the same rush of excitement to see and hear familiar someone I had come to admire and listen to nearly every day. In addition to see a rocking band, I got to know the group of people I went with pretty well too. Sadly I still don't own their CD, despite my desperate efforts!!! However I have hope for the future that I can obtain it someday.
