There are places i'll remember...

So this is really random but I had this Thailand memory today that I wanted to share with you.

We were all on a train. I forget where we were headed, but it was a full train so we all had to sit scattered around and sitting by strangers. I was sitting by a young Thai woman, and at first she seemed uncomfortable sitting by me. We sat a good 30 minutes staring in opposite directions and not making a sound. I started to feel hungry so when one of the food sellers on the train walked by I bought a bag of chips. I started eating and noticed that the Thai woman was staring at them, so I offered her some. She shook her head with a smile and turned to look out the window again.

Later in the train ride a person with fruit for sale walked by and the woman I was sitting by bought this weird looking fruit I had never seen before. It looked like it would be difficult to open but she had no problem with it. I turned to look around for people I knew on the train, when I felt her tap my shoulder. She had cut the fruit in half and was offering me half of it. I felt so happy in that moment. I shook my head and smiled the same as she did, and we both giggled and started communicating in hand gestures and objects.

The rest of the train ride was really neat and I showed her pictures in my Thailand book of places we were going and places we had been. She was really sweet and I loved sharing the ride with her.

That is one of my very favorite memories.
