I decided to take a healthy walk in the park while it was still quiet. As I was strolling, I noticed a girl sitting alone taking selfies. I approached her and was struck by how vibrant she looked, so I said "hello." She responded positively, which sparked a friendly conversation. Her name is Mei, a 24-year-old who works as a saleslady in Bangkok. After chatting and using my translator to bridge the language gap, she agreed to join me for more pictures at my place. We walked together, and as we chatted, I feel a sense of ease about the day ahead.
