Bai Yoke Chalet Mae Hong Son

... Wood, der uns heil wieder zurueck gebracht hat! ;) Gerade mal 15 min unterwegs, hatte ich ein date mit einem "Leche"/Blutegel..... jaja.... diese dinger kleben an einen schlimmer wie sekundenkleber ;)<br>Nachdem wir ein paar Stunden unterwegs waren, wurden wir freundlichst von elefanten begruesst, auf denen wir natuerlich reiten durften! Ich hatte dann auch noch die Ehre auf dem Nacken sitzten zu duerfen (ach ja... frueher taten das die Koenige... von daher die ehre :)<br><br ...

... takes awhile to get use to..an equired taste if you will....from bus wrecks at the bottom of cliffs, swerving from oncoming traffic etc...the double yellow line that indicates no overtaking is a mere suggestion, which no one would follow so therefore adds to the satire of life in Asia. <br><br>Back in Mae Hong Son I stayed with Astra, in her house in the jungle where occasionally you get a fright from a mango or a coconut landing on the roof with a shattering thud. In between going ...

... the Queen&#8217;s birthday on 12, so a public holiday. Khamchuen is organising a party at the orphanage, so that should be fun &#8211; I&#8217;m yet to meet the kids. Everything happens a lot slower here. I feel at a bit of a loose end, am keen to be helpful, but also thankful to have a bit of time to myself. I also need to start planning some lessons. Again that is tricky as it was hard to gage from the teacher at ...

Arrrrived in Mae Hong Song after yet another seemingly long drive, wasn't that long a drive but it was up hill and down dale again. Sometimes, especially on the ridge one half of the road remained and the other half had slid down the mouintain. The views were spectacular when I opened my eyes long enough to appreciate them. The hotel was in the midddle of the night market facing a lake. Had a good meal in a local ...

... Guides nicht so recht was sie jetzt machen sollen. Irgenwann kommt dann jedoch der aeltere Guide (vermutlich DER mit der 15 jaehrigen Erfahrung mit dem das Unternehmen wirbt) eines anderen Bootes ueber die Felsen geklettert und sondiert die Lage. Zurueckpaddeln fuer den Idealweg ist aufgrund der Stoemung unmoeglich. Also muessen wir wieder alle ins Boot und dann einen etwa 2 Meter hohen Wasserfall hinunterpaddeln...fuer Sekunden verschwindet das ...

I arrived at Ban Pang Term (Pang Term Village) 9 days ago. I've been staying at Secong Home, a place for vistiors to stay that is cared for by a Buddhist monk named Chinnaworn. Right now there is only one other visitor, a man from Germany, here and me. There were more people here earlier in the week, from Belgium, from France, and from Brazil, but they left to continue their travels. I sleep in a bungalow on the hillside where the chirping insects and croaking frogs keep me company ...

... and when I did, I was able to acknowledge those feelings and move on. But being compassionate with myself is not my strongest quality- I am ********* myself than anyone has ever been, and it scares the hell out of me sometimes. Every day, I meet with Teacher and he asks me how "practicimitation" is going, inadvertently combining the words "practice" and "meditation." On my bad days, he sees the look on my face and breaks into ...

... einem Eisstand als nach einem Grenzposten aus. Zum schreien. Die Bootsfahrt danach war auch ein Highlight, da weder Kapitaen, noch Helfer eine Lampe hatten. Ich stand also mit meiner Taschenlampe und dem Helfer ganz vorne und wir diskutierten, was wir dachten erkennen zu koennen und teilten selbiges dem Kapitaen mit ... oderso. Egal, wir sind trocken und heil angekommen. Auf den Inseln im Mekong erhohlte ich mich dann fuer die naechsten Tage und genoss die Atmosphaere. Ich fuehlte ...

... cars in the garage. They then would board the monorail and take that from station to station. It appears that the parking garage is still a little ways from complete, but the monorail looks as if it's pretty close to ready. With the distances involved and the number of hills, walking the zoo would be pretty much impossible. Instead, we had Supat drop us off at a point and then drive ahead to the next break of exhibits and wait there for the next drive. This worked ...
