"Oh! Tell me more!"
Ruediger's words piqued Lariette's curiosity. She couldn't resist from hearing more about his trip to Thailand. Surely, he experienced new wonders there.
Ruediger took a bite of his pad Thai and slowly chewed it. He answered after swallowing, "It was a spontaneous trip. I followed a friend from uni there. I think it was during our summer break."
Almost a decade had passed, but Ruediger still remembered the trip vividly. Under Lariette's eyes, sparkling with interest, he continued.
"We spent two weeks exploring Bangkok, Chiang Mai and some of the islands. I loved every bit of it. The food, the culture and the people there."
"Wow~ That sounds amazing," Lariette mused, already thinking of the promotional videos of Thailand she had seen before, "What was your favorite part?"
Ruediger leaned back slightly, thinking, "It's hard to choose, actually. Bangkok was chaotic but exhilarating. Their street food scene was really something else."
