Good morning; good afternoon; good evening. Whichever one of the three it may be for you. For us here in Thailand it is currently a good morning).
In this entry, my main focus will be to some extent introduce myself to you. Since my aim here is to create a friendly, informal space, we’ll set up a cheery, first name basis. In other words, I’m Ksenia). Although, the ‘K’ is pronounced in Russian, I prefer it to be left silent in English, as everyone I know whom I communicate with in English, all call me Senia. It’s almost as if it’s a nice nickname everyone calls me, really. For the time being, I’ve chosen to refrain from disclosing my age, since I find that age often provokes bias, and trust me, we don’t want that. My age shall be whatever you chose it to be. Almost like you’re creating your own character here, eh? As tacitly inferred earlier, I’m a Russian who’s resided in Pattaya, Thailand for a large chunk of my life (just about 10 years now). I see Pattaya as a home, as this is the place I grew up in, a place I feel most welcome at, and a place I long for every time I depart from it.
Alright, looks like our very brief introduction’s completed! I am going to get on with my day, and hopefully be back in a few hours to write an entry about...the coronavirus! How very exciting? But I mean, what better is there to discuss at this very moment, when the whole world seems to be plummeting into an imminent apocalypse?
