Prompts = Literate, Passive, Form
I stand in front of the roadside food stall: little more than a basic form with a couple of side tables with ingredients stacked, hanging, crowding the space. Tucked behind all that is a friendly smile and amused eyes; she knows I’m not literate. Hell, I can’t speak or understand a word of her language.
I point, she nods. I hope it’s good.
She holds up six chilies. I indicate one. She laughs.
‘See Sip Baht.’, her hand out with the other holding my food.
Learning language passively, I hand her one hundred baht.
Sixty baht change.
See Sip = forty!
