my trip to bangkok

Do not pass anything with your left hand, and never point with one finger. hi my name is jose guerra i recently went to Bangkok i visited the wat pho temple. when i went to the temple the candles essence was like a pine tree back home. there was so many locals at the temple including tourists like me. the temple floors were clean as a crystal clear vision tv that you could see another world looking back at you. i accidently gave a local a bottle of water with my left hand and i pointed with one finger at the magnificent architecture of the buddha statue. i felt so embarrassed thinking i'm such an idiot. the local surprisingly did not get mad at me nor did he get disappointed at me. he politely thanked me like a king, i felt so shocked with his reaction that i felt more relaxed. i kept on thinking i broke one of their etiquette rules,why didn't i get a different reaction from the local. then it came to me like a lightning bolt he only acted polite because i didn't know any better. our manners are very similar in San diego and Bangkok i was only a mexican in a alien planet not knowing better. afterwards i felt like i was suffocating in space thinking about my guilt. the next time you go to Bangkok please kindly do not pass anything with your left hand,or point with one finger. if you wanted someone to know exactly what you were looking at you would point with one finger like a little child getting to excited you would do that here in San diego but never in Bangkok.
