This is the photo of Prof. Paul BRIOT he is 87 years old.
He came to FVG sometime for teaching. it is the second time so that I can take his picture. Just look at his age, 87 years old, as i knew in Thailand, someone who is that age might not be able to teach in unversities or institute. The Belgians are quite healthy and long living even they already got retired but they would like to work. ^_^ . Some old people still have ability to work and I think that the most of them can still work even their age are reached to be gotten retired. Here in Belgium have a system for old people who relative could not looking care for them when they get old age and can not safety to living alone they have to stay at the house for old people. The payment was collect from when they were young and when they were working. Some of them still have sons and daugthers but it difference from the family system in Thailand (specific in rural area). Most of the gandfathers and grandmothers still living with sons and daugther in law or daugther and son in law . They are looking care for each other , grandpa and grandma looking for grandchildren when father and mother go to work. There are quite difference family system from Belgium also some countires in Europe.
For example last weekend ( 25 April ) I went to joy and help some work at Buddharama Temple , Sint'Niklass. There was the Songran festival or the old Thai new year. At the temple I did some help in the kitchen , did cleaning the dishes , toilet etc. And I did offering some foods for the venerable monks to make the merit. On the day we have the tradition to respect for the older people , to asking forgivness from the older people. We did give honor for the old persons and also for the monks who is like the teacher of us.
But here in Belgium do not have that traditional everybody are the same level. Sometime students do not much respect the teachers or the Professor who give us knowledge, do not give honor for older people who have much experience in life before. And sometime when Thai people do the traditional here in Belgium for other it can make viewpoint that they are sycophant for them. Then I think it good to study some background the traditional each other countries very well.
