Hello, People of Thailand!

Whatever country we come from, whatever colour our skin is, we all have one thing in common: we are all people of the
world.
Thailand is a beautiful country with a rich culture, just south of China. People call it the jewel of south-east Asia for a good
reason. Its tropical climate, white sandy beaches and ancient temples make it a perfect holiday destination. What makes it
really special, though, is its people.

Thai people are good-looking. They are short with delicate features. They have got black hair, dark eyes and light brown
skin. The Thais are friendly people who are well known for being generous and kind. „We are happy people who have
strong wills and are especially proud of our history,“ says Kasem from Bangkok.
Most people in Thailand live in villages. A typical Thai village consists of wooden houses, a school and a Buddhist temple.
Most of the people in the villages are farmers and fishermen. The men usually work in the fields or catch fish in the
rivers, and the women plant the crops.

Family life is very important in Thailand, and families often eat together. Thai food is very spicy and includes curries,
fish, seafood, soups and noodles. „We eat rice with our meals and use a lot of strong spices in our cooking,“ explains
Kasem.

Thai people love to enjoy themselves. Popular free-time activities include Thai boxing and watching traditional dance
shows. Thais also celebrate many festivals throughout the year. „My favourite holiday is Surin, in November, when we
always have elephant football matches,“ says Kasem.

Thailand is a wonderful country. Its fascinating sights, rich cultural history and warm-hearted people make it unique.

Dear Terry,

Greetings from Cairo! The weather is very hot here and I’m having a wonderful time. I’m staying with my friend, Abdullah. He
lives in the centre of Cairo.

I’ve been here since Monday and I’ve already done lots of things! I’ve already visited the Khan al-Khalili bazaar. We visited it
on Tuesday. You can’t imagine how noisy and crowded it was! I bought some lovely handmade souvenirs there. I have also
seen the Pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza. I saw them yesterday. They were amazing. I even rode a camel. It was fun! I’ve
been to a traditional restaurant. Abudllah took me there last night. I tried couscous and falafel. The place was fantastic and
the food was just delicious.

There are a lot of things I haven’t done yet. I haven’t been on a boat trip down the River Nile yet, and I haven’t visited the
Egyptian Museum. We are going on a boat trip tomorrow and we are going to visit the museum one of these days to see the
exhibits. We are also going to visit Luxor. The place is famous for its huge temples and statues.

Cairo is a fascinating city – you must visit it one day! Anyway, I’m returning to England on Sunday next week, so I’ll call
you then.

Best wishes, Jack
