Bangkok and I : The meeting





I am Here, Thailand
So clean so fresh , so fast the taxi drove. I sat in the front I watched him is the seemingly souped up Toyota corolla -fly balls .. 150 k/h shit.. a few times it was a bit hairy but.. I really liked it.. complete contrast to the putt putt of the diesel spewing rickshaw and taxis in India.. ok .. I had some breakfast and am staying in a very very fancy hotel.. one I can actually take a bath in.. with hot water and privacy and clean and a big room, the same size as a house I stayed in .. damn what a world of difference only a hop away by plane but a world apart in ideology and well that's the biggest difference I see now .. so .. that is my theme word for this excerpt.
I am scheduling tours, floating market, and other huge markets.. kind of like the old flee markets my folks and I loved to go to.. but these have a bit more exotic things like. old mason jars full of critters. bugs, and a plethora of edibles.. like tarantulas, crickets, worms and the such, I will say that my mom probably would skip this flee market.. even though she loves a good bargain and there are so many here.

The Chinese new year is April 13Th.. And I am in for a wonderful celebration millions upon millions will be celebrating and festivals will be rampant.. all in good fun and harmonious communing of the celestial bodies and the ethereal word that bring the physical realm into tactile means.. whoo. whoo. I can still write a run on sentence and wax poetically about things in my head.. enough with that. thanks be happy and try not to disturb the earth and its sleeping inhabitants. til then. love meli

It sounds like you're having a wonderful time on your unique journey. You've seen a side of India that few Westerners get to see, and now Thailand will receive the Melisa approach. I look forward to your future gleanings.

Hello to all: MAT called Saturday night 3/31/07 and she is fine. Thailand is clean and fast - good for Melisa. She is in a great motel and getting to take a bath that she has not had for while. Still hot but things are cleaner there and a good contrast from India. Chinese New Year April 13 so big celebration. Will try to get her to post some pictures. Melisa's MOM

Hi, Missy,
Glad you made it Thailand. I got a really neat Atlas, BIG, so I can keep track of you. Saw where the Adman Islands were and where you were in India. Your Mom and I had to search and search but finally found it. My new account from India says the Adman (particularly) Fort Blair use to be British colony and that is where they sold and shipped the slaves from way way back when things like went on. They have told me quite alot about their country and it fun to talk with them about where you were. Have a great time in Thailand. As always be careful and safe. Take care of yourself and bring us your travel news more often.
Love You, Love Us, Uncle Gary and Aunt Vicki

wake up and smell the coffee

Cold winds a blowin, sing songs a howlin. The weather is raw the weather is king. Shorter days knocking at the door. remembrances of yesteryear, the good old days, realizing they are permanently gone and that it will never be the same state again. Its a hard world to swallow sometimes, and especially as the time progresses and with that the expectations of adaption and evolution are ever present.. But it's easier to reflect than pro actively predict.! I am faced with the harsh reality that the place in the world that I am from , the magical all possible place that I come from is vanishing, slipping away and turning into a place of sour milk and no longer that rich golden land of milk and honey...... no dwelling but really dwelling. that is the state I sit in. the longing and desperation of knowing exactly how things would turn out. its gone its gone so gone gone gone... not hopeless just placeless spaceless danceless joyless empty outta wack adaptive acceptance

I am Teaching and they love me..

Ok, so the rivers of Earth Were formed from large collections of rain from many many clouds after the great fireball earth cooled, millions of years ago, and it took man a mere 5000 years to putrefy them.. nice work man........ ok Yep my new job is great. I live doing something productive. the slow pace of settled India is to slow, I went on a walk with some elder women in my home upstairs, they take one step then the next and so on and I usually wait for the 12th step before I take my first one.. SLOW man I MEAN SLOW...its interesting for me.. I am a running dashing dancing prancer,, I can really move it... hah ha.. so this new speed of life .. I am glad I am a visitor.. any whoo.. blessing and peace. Auntie

4th week of goodness and English lessons

As the last few days of September are approaching, the winter chill is permeating the air again. I like Autumn I like Fall but the rain and chill proves I am not as cop-able as I was when I was a child. The bitter chill cramps my legs and causes tingles in my toes. Stay warm stay dry and drink plenty of soup, avoid catching cold and don't forget to wash your hands often. These are simple things I can recall from the youth that lingered by. best of wishes as the seasons change and we reveal the autumn of our lives. love M
