... first saw her she was topless and swiftly covered herself with a rice bag. When she did get dressed, her clothes were covered in holes and she looked so haggered. She had been walking up and down the hills all morning with huge bags of newly harvested rice - solo. Her husband, who I didn't meet in 2005, was not around. Our guide found out though that he was just out the back of the house and was of little use to the wife since he was high on opium. I knew this was a ...

... Fridays. They seem to be responding well to the games so I&#8217;ve been making all sorts of silly things to keep things interesting. It&#8217;s such a joy to hear &#8216;Look, a monkey!&#8217; in an overly-excited giggly Thai accent. <br><br>Yesterday I started two more: the head nurse at the Chiang Rai hospital and her daughter. They were mad keen and now want a half-day ...

... and go to a land God would show him. Then God said that He would bless Abram so that all peoples on earth will be blessed through him. God told the leader that He would bless the center to be a blessing to others. We have learned so much from the leader about giving to and blessing others. The land that the center is on was beautiful, but no one wanted to settle here because there was no water. The center ...

... synes det er relevant), og vi dermed vil få et mere levende forum.

... these days). i did venture out for a long.long walk into the counrtyside and some waterfalls that were promised to be nice. with the map being of a 5 year old sketch quality, the walk ended up being 6-8km, one way!! forever being the optimist when it comes to trekking, i rested at the other end and started my walk back to pai. just to point out the fact that nobody,or very few people (especially locals) doesn't seem to walk anywhere. so when i passed ...

... from Dec 27th, 2008 until Jan 3rd, 2009 and was designed to help support tourism and exposure of the Chiang Rai area. It highlights Lanna cultures and traditions and also presents local groups to an opportunity to sell their goods to domestic and foreign tourists. The only part of the festivities that I managed to see was part of the flower parade that we happened to discover during our last hour in Chiang Rai. I ran and grabbed my camera and ended up taking 250 ...

... into Chiang Rai in the torrential rain which hadn't really eased up from the night before, turning the roads into mini rivers. I don't know if Chiang Rai would be pretty in the sunshine, i doubt it, but it certainly isn't in the rain. Maybe we have been slightly spoilt after the beauty of Laos. We wandered around but ended up back at the internet cafe for several hours, sorting photos and the blog and catching up on email. Deciding then to head to ...

... Doi Tung Royal Villa. A very tasteful home with stunning views, the tourist is able to get a first hand view of how the Princess Mother lived such a humble life surrounded by the thing she loved most - nature. Peeping I really appreciated the Princess Mother Commemorative Hall too. Sadly though, most tourists seemed to be more interested in just seeing the Royal Villa and Gardens and it looked liked me and the wife were the only ...

... everything. In a way they were more ahead then the rest of the world. They had a couple of solar panels (given to them by the Thai government), and that is their only electricity source. The next day we joined with another group with two Danes and a guide that knew everything about the plants in the forest and where every tree was ("We will turn left at the jack fruit tree 250 meter ahead"). It was like walking around with an Asian Gandalf ...
