25-August-1945, to: mom

pp.12-16

Kim and TSU arrive at Thailand (at night im assuming)

• stayed at the Lo Nguan Thong house hold

• in a chinese neighborhood called Sampheng Leng

(I think TSU is talking abt the morning when ot torn arrived at the LNT house)

Seng is still made at TSU and Kim

Kim is afraid that he wont be able to find a job under Seng’s uncle

TSU told kim not to worry cz he will talk to his Father for him

Kim also want to provide his wife and family meat

TSU dir kim that he will get a new Thai wife and kim didnt like that and went silent

• Kim is married to his wife for a year

They arrived at Bangkok Harbor

people អ៊ូរអរពេញនឹង

The boat they rode on name is Hai Wang

TSU talking abt ppl leaving country for their dream blah blahblah starting new life ey jgjg

TSU reminiscing abt the time he left in secret from Po Leng away from his mom

Father is off for the day and says he will bring them ot LNT by himself

TSU ask dad for a job for kim at his cousins (LNT)

Dad say okay he will recommend

Seng expects the 2 to apologize and begged him (still on boat)

Uncle Tae Lim arrived and it seems like Seng is embarrassing him by shouting abt Kim and TSU

They finally landed on Thai soil

KIm is afraid and TSU is fed up with his cowardice and just ignored it

TSU hopes to find peace in this buddhist land
