Hello to YOU! My name is Shrimp (real one Srinthip Prajom!). I come from a place called Ban Pong in Thailand. Can I be your best pen friend for a short bite? In my letters I will tell you all about the fun I am having here. You can: - find out how deliciious beetles are and why disco prawns dance on your spoon - come on holiday with me and meet some turtles and sea gypsies - learn why you must never point your feet at a Thai person! There are some very nice pictures by my big brother, Frog. And my funny Uncle Boon has some stories to tell you too. You will have fun reading about me and the Land of Smiles!. Love, Shrimp!
