| What inspired your move to the U.S.? |
| | I move to the US with my Family after Tsunami took my small art gallery away. |
| |
| Could you tell me more about the tsunami? What was it like and was
it difficult to pack up and move to the U.S. after? |
| | I have 3 sisters who live in Phuket, at the time I lived in the village ( far from the beach ) but my shop and my sister's restaurant is near the beach.
My older and younger sister they have to run for her life when the water come. Imagine when you sleeping and just like a dreams that you sleep on the water everything flowing up.and then you just know that it's something bad happening you have to run and find the safe place even the height wall that you don't think that you can jump and clamp up there, but we can do in this time.and thank God that my sisters were both ok. Good thing that she had her cell phone she told me how and what happen on the beach that day.
After that happen it's all about tear we're don't know what to do and what can we are going to do next.
I'm move hear because my husband bring me here and we were married in the US. |
