So, getting back to my first ESL experience from the start. My adaptation was running smoothly as I was given a warm welcome right in the airport by the school head teacher of the English department, a sunshine girl. As we left the airport, the first thing I remember was an intense wave of heat and humidity that poured onto me out of the blue. Never before had I experienced such a climate, but it doesn’t take much to get accustomed to it — no worries, AC, sunscreen and spicy food will make a difference. The school helped me with finding a high standard accommodation with great facilities so that I could feel at ease at any moment. This type of accommodation in Thailand is usually referred to as condominium shorten for condo which has a set of facilities such as reception, cleaning services, study rooms, swimming pools, gyms, conference rooms and what not. It took me some time to start using them while I was adapting to a completely new environment.
