Photo of the Day - Day 292

Tonight I decided to stop into my little favourite thai spot to pick up takeout.  I haven't been there in a few months but they always remember me as I have really tried to get to know them when I go there.  Back when I worked in IT our team would go there every Wednesday for takeout.  They are amazing!

Anyways, Sai the owner is so wonderful, her "auntie" and "uncle" (sadly I don't know their names as that is how she refers to them) worked there with her and last year her uncle went back to Thailand as he was homesick.  I really liked him and he always remembered I liked a fork instead of chopsticks for my order. Although he couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak Thai I always made the extra effort to try to talk to him and interact with him.
His last day last year before he moved back to Thailand I made him a thai farewell card using google translator and brought him his favourite food: MacDonalds :)

Anyways recently he moved back to PEI and when I arrived tonight he had a little gift for me from Thailand. It really touched my heart.  Although we only communicated and understood a few words since we have known each other due to our language barriers, we still managed to form a great friendship this past couple of years.

His gesture really made my day - hence a perfect photo of the day!! :)
