    Omg I remember when I was in Bangkok and riding a tuktuk, the driver was legit breaking every traffic law in the book and driving on the opposite side too 😂 I was ready for death y'all

    As an Australian, I have spent SO MUCH time holidaying in Thailand - such a great place. Never studied/lived long term there though - so great insights!

    No way, I thought it was only in South Africa where taxis drive in the opposite lane, That's wild! It's really cool to see you guys wore uniforms. Thailand seems like such an amazing place and one I should visit in the near future.

    i love the way you talk about your experience as an exchange student in Thailand. My sisters and i visited last summer for vacation and fell in love with everything. The food, the people, the market, the temples. I wanted to go back this summer but you know.
    I find it so cute that even University students where uniforms. i am also wondering how this outside campus thing works cause Thailand is hot af. Which University did you transfer from, not a lot has partnerships with Thailand or non east Asian countries.
    The TTC can't compare to anything ugh. when i see the "best subway in North America" sticker i scoff.
    I am really loving your content and vibe! Post all your vlogs please, the little snippets of them was really fun to watch.

    • @xoReni
      @xoReni  3 роки тому

      So happy you got to visit before Covid! I wish I went back before everything started 😭
      I went to Schulich @ York U, they have a great exchange program but you’re right most schools don’t have a connection to S.E.A. There were students from Queens, UBC, U Ottawa and McGill who were there tho 😊
      LOOOL the TTC is a joke. That sticker makes me chuckle too.
      I’m glad you enjoyed, I’m going to post my Kigali vlog soon - just need to edit it xx

    I'm soiled the traffic in China isn't that bad, I really expected it to be horrible.
    And you're right, the subways are so quiet and peaceful, Asians really value their travel time (because they just sleep in the subway anyway lol)

      Jorimi hellen yes they did recommend it! I don’t recommend it because you can get a way better residence for the same price. The location is pretty bad too. The only good thing is that you’re surrounded by other exchange students

    4:10 this one is quite rare here actually, my fam would curse if they see someone road behaviour like that 🤣 You are so lucky for experiencing chula! heard that BBA is one of the best its location is the best tbh🤩 /im from another uni its in suburb and yea nothing much here, not at all😭
    I think the elite one is prob international programme? since their tuition is quite high but their thai programme is on average and affordable (its very competitive tho so most ppl there are pretty talented!)

    Do I still have that opportunity are they some school that can accept me ? Or all my hopes to see the university life are vain😔?
