Belgium and Poland


My suite mates name is Dama Dhumakupt and he is from Thailand but he has lived all over the world.Dama's father is a Diplomat for the Thai government which is the reason for the fact that Dama has moved across the globe. For this blog I plan on interviewing him and getting a better understanding of the different nations he has lived in. I will cover one nation he has lived in per blog.

He was born in Brussels, Belgium which is the capital and is the largest city population wise in all of Belgium. It is in Northwest Europe and is one of the founding member states of the European Union. The language of Belgium is Flemish which is a variation of Dutch that is only spoken in Belgium.

Dama moved from Belgium to Poland when he was three where he lived in Warsaw which is the capital of Poland. He attended a French speaking, Damas first spoken language, school for Kindergarten which was a multinational school with students from France, Italy, and Poland. His favorite word in Polish is ziloti which means green and is interestingly also the word for green in Russian. Dama's favorite memory of Poland was the home that the Thai government paid for for his family that was an enormous 4 story home.
