jasmine Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 Hi, There was TV and we read the "Seventeen" magazines. The culture was conservative but fashion was fashion, period. A few of us had American and British freinds. You have got to see the Thai magazines of that period, the skirts were short. Well, because the culture was conservative, that was why we were scolded and the ruler was used to smack us a few times (I've got to be careful how I said this here, don't want to make some men cross their legs reading it) . We didn't care really and the teachers knew that we were just kids (teenagers) and the punishment was not really serious, got to do what we got to do, you know what I mean? Most of us now hold at least a Masters, some Doctorate degrees and we turned out fine. Careful with the kids, When I was in Thammasart, some friends were in Chula wore white socks for the 1st year, I don't know whether they are still doing it. We have lived and learned, hopefully we will be wiser as we grow older. My pleasure sharing the viewpoints with you. Cheers! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
