I did grades 7-8 and 10-11 in Bangkok.
It was a great place to be a teenager.
My father was in the Foreign Service and worked at the US Embassy.
We lived in Italy for 2 years...living abroad as a kid is a real blessing.
Before we left I pitched a fit and didn’t want to go......when my parents told me were moving back I pitched a fit and didn’t want to come back. 😏
