Dinner for the thai people

This post is about the dinner we did long time ago (in October).Last 13th october we had an intercultural dinner, but this time we were the ones who had to cook for the other. My corridormates Carmen and Hubsi, and me cooked the food for the thai people. But there were not only Thai, also Chinese, French, Germany and Japonese people.

We established a Swedish buffet: all the food in the desks of the living room and therefore the people can get the food, but eating stand up.


At the beginning, we did not know if we were going to have enough food for everybody. Hubsi did a German soup, Carmen chicken in the oven and also a delicious salmon with potatoes and me ham, Spanish meet in sauce and the maxican nachos. Surprisingly the first dish in being eaten was the nachos and not the cured ham as I expected -even it left. They don't appreciate the spanish food!!

Despite of being the entruster of the dinner (Hubsi, Carmen and me), the asiatic people also brought some dishes. Suddenly, asiatic people started coming to the living room, everyone with a dish and, of course, the desks were totally occupied. And we were before worried about having or not enough food for everybody!


Here I attach the video with the explanation of the different dishes . When I said to them that the nachos were going to be really spicy for them, they nearly wrested my eyes. Because is very known for all of us the spicy food of these people. Yet, at least that dinner, they were considerate with us, they only brought one spicy dish! But it was truly spicy!!

It was the birthday of one of the Thais, so we sang "Happy Birthday", everyone in his own language, and, as Oli said, it sounded like a crying cat.

How are the Thai people? They are more polite and more considerate than western people, and also shier but they have always a smile for you. They are happy and grateful. As Tanabut says (my Thai corridormate), Thailand is the smile of the world.
