Today, I did this...

I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here from "Annie" PCV Thailand Style

Host: Now, farang, what would you like to do first?

PCV: The English, then the social inequities, that way if my Thai is sub-par...

Host: No, no, no, you don't understand! You don't have to work while you're here with us! 

PCV: I won't?!? But isn't that sort of the point?

Host: Why, you're our guest!

Host: You wear the color of the day

Yai: Today is yellow, why are you wearing green?

Host: The bucket shower has some frogs 

PCV: I get to have pets in the bathroom? Oh, boy!

Host: We hung the mosquito net already

Nong: If you're afraid of ghosts, I can sleep with you

PCV: I think I'm gonna like it here!

(Dance sequence where PCV is squeezed and prodded by every member of the host family, then force fed a ridiculous amount of food)

Host: The rice fields are all around 

PCV: I get to eat rice? Oh, boy!

Host: The kanom wan is always here 

PCV: You mean I can eat all I want?

Host: We have a million more for you (These Americans are so fat!)

PCV: I think I'm gonna like it here!

(More food and mosquito attacks commence)

Pii: When you wake, take a shower, you have to take a shower!

Nong: When you come home, take a shower, you have to take another shower!

(PCV spins around in wonder as the host family shouts...)

Host family: Did you take a shower yet? Did you eat rice yet? Go to bed!

Host: And geckos chirp upon your walls 

PCV: They'll sing me to sleep at night!

Host: Mosquitos come out around 6 

Host family: We have but one request, please eat some more kanomes!

PCV: I know I'm gonna like it here!

(Montage of freezing bucket showers and overeating)

PCV: Used to live in a state where I'd eat some cheese

        Get me now, holy cow! Could someone pass a kanom please!

(Thousands of kanoms are handed to PCV at once)

Host: Gin yert yert!

PCV: I didn't mean it!

(Still more eating of kanoms)

Host: We've never had an American 

Host family: Farang, farang, farang, farang, farang, farang, farang, farang, farang!

PCV: I'll be you first volunteer!

Host family: We have but one request, please eat some more kanomes!

PCV & Host family: I/We know I'm/your gonna like it here!
