Just like home
Let’s color the streets like our own
Let’s make this place feel like our own
It’s just you and me,
It’s alright
‘Cause tonight
We’re gonna paint the town green

*****************

Paint the Town Green by The Script can describe that night well, because the song is about someone who is missing home but they are far away from it, however they can make any place like their home somehow. 

The Script is Irish band and green colour is symbolized to Irish Christianity. So, they paint the town they live with green colour.

After meeting Thai students on Saturday at Losari beach, it turned out they invited us to having dinner at their place on Sunday.

At 3.30 p.m. on Sunday, we were picked up by P’Sum one of Thai students and we all took pete-pete to their place. When we got there, there are more 10 Thai students. Some are studying master degree and some are studying undergraduate at Universtas Islam Negeri (UIN) Alauddin Makassar. They are from the south of Thailand.

Before having dinner we talked about our program, education, Thai news, Indonesian culture, and they gave us useful information for living in Indonesia. We kept talking until one topic that impressed me the most. It was when they tried to find us. They said, they heard the news that there were other Thai students at Makassar and would live for 6 months. So, they found the news on the website of UNM and printed the picture. Then, they went out and showed the picture to everyone as if they were looking for missing person. Finally, their efforts have been paid off, they met us at Losari Beach.  

The time that I’ve been waiting for has come, dinner time! But our group must’ve separated the girls went to girls’ house and the boys went to boys’ house. It’s fine with us; as long as we had Thai food and it’s free we could go anywhere.

Even though, we only had Thai-style omelet and fried chicken with chili paste. That was my best meal so far in Indonesia.
