culture clash

so i'm realzing some of the differences in our culture vs. thai culture.. thai culture is a relational culture... where more of a difference is made by hanging out and making connections.. i come from a goal oriented culture.. where i want to see goals met.. the two are not meshing well.. i'm only here for three more weeks.. and i want to see results.. projects completed.. thai people want to take us to lunch.. it's all very interesting...
holly is super sick today... ryan has taken her to the hospital.. so ben and i are on our own to find projects to do.. we are on way to kao lok to volunteer with a progam called step ahead.. so much to do.
