Thai Odyssey (Paperback)

In Thai Odyssey, Loretta J. Dunbar portrays the warmth of the Thai people. Written with respect and in good humor, her stories began as email essays to her family and friends back home. They are set down in chronological order and read like a novel, for there is a beginning, a middle, and an end. aThere were so many interesting things happening around me, things that most visitors donat have an opportunity to experience, that I felt an urge to share them. Simple needs required instant language acquisition. For instanceaWhere is the toilet? Hong nahm yoo tee nai? The first, most important Thai phrase I learned, a comments Dunbar. The reader gets a feel for what it is like to be a Peace Corps volunteer living in a developing country, a look at the necessary adaptations to be made in a different culture, and a portrait of the generous people of Thailand.
