... br><br>I've started getting brave enough to order and eat from the local food stalls in the evening. Tonight I tried some roast catfish! And a delicious papaya salad. You buy from the stalls then sit open air next to the lake....very chilled out. Hope my stomach copes ok. I should be hardy enough now. Food was delicious and cost less than £1.<br><br>Now sitting in my favourite cafe sipping on an ice latte. It's 8.10pm and I need to head back to the guesthouse soon. I come ...

... trek that required to be "adventurous and fit". In the end, I decided to go for it because in order to get a trek to go, at least 4 people are required and I wasn't sure I would have another chance! So I set off, feeling a little shaky...having no idea what I was in for. I will try to describe...but it's hard! The first cave was called the "fossil cave", and took about an hour to explore. I required lots of climbing skills and getting dirty and muddy...but it was quite amazing ...

Overslept with a very bad head. Got to the bus station around 11am. All the mini buses were full so i had to take the ordinary bus with a fan to Mae Hong Son, a 7 hr journey. The seats are not made for farang (forienger) and i needed both legs sticking out into the aisle. This was made even more uncomfortable when the bus became full and Thai women were sitting in the aisle. But after a gruelling 7 hours on a rickety old bus i finally made my Mae ...

From my journal: In Mae Hong Son Don't know what day it is.....but Yesterday was a full day. Woke up from a nice sleep in the Friend House. Like the guidebook said I got a nice room with a view of the lake for only 150 Bath, shared bath downstairs. The Hostess was kind and beautiful. Full of life and so playful and sweet with her equally joyous daughter. I was in Mae Hong Son. Woke up and went to the expansive Day Market North or my ...

As I said earlier, I didn't have any expectations when I arrived at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep to begin my vipassana meditation studies. But it's possible that I might have entertained one tiny little fantasy... --------------------------------------- ------------------ Bangkok Times January 8, 2008 Man Reaches Enlightenment in Under A Week!

... Some of the dreams even have end credits that roll just before I wake up. Other nights, I dream up television shows, both original programming and existing series. On back-to-back nights during my first week, I find myself asleep watching a "Law &amp; Order" episode (the original, not a spin-off version, with Jerry Orbach and Benjamin Bratt) and then the entire second series of "Charmed" on TNT, before Shannon Doherty was replaced by Rose McGowan. I ...

... make the journey of a few kilometres. We didn't mind at all! There were many hard working folks lining the river banks, waving and greeting us while digging sand and stones from the bed of the river to sell to construction projects in town. We then took off by plane for Chiang Mai and on to Phuket island where we're staying for several days at the Bangtao Beach Resort. More on that later... We hope you are all well and not too cold! Love, Zoe and Liza

... said something along the lines of "the road in front of your hotel will be closed to traffic for the market". They neglected to mention that this was only one of dozens of roads that would be closed. We hadn't brought our map with us, so after we wandered a little bit it took a while to find our way back to the hotel. Yes, we were the stupid tourists that couldn't find our hotel. For the whole two hours of walking around, we only made one purchase. There were ...
