“Eat, Pray and Love” in Thailand This is a story about my the biggest fail conversation in this year :) On New Year holiday I, my sister and her friend (can I say girlfriend to make sure that it was she, not he?) was in Thailand. I have been there for the first time in my life. It is a friendly country with the nicest people I’ve ever seen. The sun there is great and the sea is warm. I definitely will come back there somehow. One evening we had tasty dinner and decided to go out somewhere. I needed to change my outfit, so I went to my hotel room. Girls left to wait me by the hotel. When I came back I thought that there was some guy with them. He tried to talk with them, and when girls saw me they screamed “Here she is! She can understand you. Kate, what does he want, we can’t get it?”. It turned up that he was German guy who writes a book. And he would like to ask us some questions. I asked what the book is about. He said it is about a woman who get divorce and decided to travel to Thailand to heal her emotions. So, he would like to know why we choose Thailand and what the most incredible thing has happened to us there. He had recorder and he recordered our dialog. During all this conversation I hesitated. Should I ask or I shouldn’t. Finally I asked if he read the “Eat, Pray and Love” book. He said: “No… What is it about?”. I explained that it is about a woman who get divorce, sell all her property and go travel to Italy, India and Indonesia. And right at that moment he looked so confused. He asked me what happened then and I gave him quick explanation. In the end of our talk he asked me “What is that book name, again?...”, “Eat, Pray and Love” – answered I and he went into crowd. I felt bad after that for some reason. It was like I destroyed his idea, his goal in a life :(( I hope he’ll change just some details and will continue to write this story. I wish I could to read it someday ) Because I took a little part in it creation.

“Eat, Pray and Love” in Thailand

This is the story about my_biggest conversation fail of this year :)

On New Year's holiday, my sister, her friend and I were in Thailand. I was there for the first time in my life. It is a friendly country with the nicest people I’ve ever met. The sun there is great and the sea is warm. I definitely will go back there some day.

One evening, after having a tasty dinner, we decided to go out somewhere. I needed to change my outfit, so I went to my hotel room. The girls waited for me in the lobby. When I came back I noticed there was some guy with them. He was trying to talk with them, and when girls saw me they screamed “Here she is! She can understand you! Kate, what does he want? We can’t get what he's saying”. It turned out that he was a German guy who was writing a book. He wanted to ask us some questions. I asked what the book was about. He said it was about a woman who got a divorce and decided to travel to Thailand to heal her emotions. So, he would like to know why we had chosen Thailand and what had been the most incredible thing that had happened to us there. He had a recorder, so he recorded our dialog.

During all this conversation I hesitated. Should I ask or shouldn’t I? Finally, I asked if he had read the book “Eat, Pray and Love”. He said: “No… What is it about?”. I explained that it was about a woman who got divorced, sold all her property and went travel to Italy, India and Indonesia. And right at that moment he looked so confused. He asked me what happened then and I gave him a quick explanation. In the end of our talk he asked me “What is that book's name, again?...”, “Eat, Pray and Love” – I answered, and he disappeared into crowd.

I felt bad after that for some reason. It was like I destroyed his idea, his goal in_life :(( I hope he’ll change just some details and will continue to write his story. I wish I can read it some day ) Because I took a little part in its creation.  :)
