We celebrated the end of the two week American Culture class in the most American way possible. A pizza party! But even something as familiar as a pizza party is different in Thailand. What type of pizza does every pizza party have? Pepperoni and cheese, right? Not in Thailand. We had Hawaiian pizza (with fresh pineapples, of course) and seafood pizza. Yes, seafood pizza. Pizza with crab, fish and shrimp. It wasn’t bad. We didn’t have packets of parmesan cheese or crushed red peppers. The condiment of choice for pizza in Thailand is ketchup. You heard me right. I delicately explained to the Thai teens that Americans will find it very strange if you put ketchup on you pizza. And don’t ask for seafood pizza either.
