Didn't you know?

Didn't you know that I have been deceiving people all my life? Yes, it is true I admit it!
I am not Salvadoran, I have just been pretending to be one. You think I am kidding? Think again, if you don't believe me I invite you to come to Thailand and ask the now more than seven people who have addressed me in Thai (seven and counting). Yep! Thai people think I am Thai. I have learned how to say yes, I am Thai just for fun: "chan-pen-kon-thai". Today for example I was observing a biology class and a group of teachers from a different school were also observing. One of them approached me and asked me: How long have been teaching here? I had no idea what he was saying so I smiled (hey give a break what else can I do). Thank god the grad student who helps me with translation immediately told him that I am not Thai. Malaysians think I am malaysian, Thais think I am Thai, and Egyptians think I am Egyptian and the list goes on. But what can I do, I can't help it I owe it to my pretty face (hahahahaha).

De ahora en adelante dejo de ser salvadorena para convertirme en ciudadana universal. Despues de pasar cinco dias en Tailandia me he dejado convencer. Desde mi llegada a Tailandia me he encontrado con el mismo fenomeno dondequiera que vaya. Por alguna razon cuando la gente tailandesa piensa que soy de aca y me hablan en tailandes y lo chistoso es ver la cara de sorpresa cuando me ven pedir ayuda a los estudiantes tailandeses que andan con nosotros para que me traduzcan lo que dicen. Es super divertido! El dia que fuimos a visitar el palacio del rey despues de haber pagado la entrada los estudiantes tailandeses me dijeron que no hubiese pagado, que hubiese entrado con ellos y nadie se hubiese dado cuenta. Lastima que me lo dijeron demasiado tarde. Creo que esta confusion se la debo a mi hermoso y transparente rostro (jajajajajaja).
