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

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

Well I thought I was going to go to south India exclusively but, here I am In Agra. the Taj Mahal was A delight. I was sad and Calm and Amazed the environment is a host for so many world travelers.. many peoples and many culture rise to the occasion for a majestic viewing what a place.. I am glad SO GLAD I made it up here.. I am suppose to be 3000 kl south of here meeting up for the weeding party but >. WELL Plans change in INDIA... oh boy do they.

another day in the life of the sober girl

Yes, I am alright but My scratches and bruising is funny . oh well. I am delighted evermore. today I went to Moon village its a tiny spot Here I Pai that Is featuring a kind of hippie gathering .. the intent is the same but the people are ethnically Asean. Lots Of Japanese, Thai, Hong Kong, and then the old traditional whites.. from where ever they are from.. No worries or derogatory remarks just objective commenting. any way . the festival for which I am liking thus far had a special group guided mediation today .. Yes I was there and ready to meditate,, the premise was to alleviate ones suffering through vocalization of proper requests that facilitate a deeper connection to the radiant positive things in ones life thereby filling up the voided spaces with only good and harmony whilst outcasting and removing the negative .. sound terrific right.. good.. Well I was hoping it would be.. and The narrator was great and the SPACE WAS LOVELY AND THE RIVER RUSHING GENTLY BEHIND ME WAS SUP...
