This morning we were pleasantly surprised not to wake up to the heavy rain of the previous two mornings. But this morning was an early start, as we had a seven Kilometre walk to attempt before reaching the elephant camp on the other side of the Mae Kok river. Despite the scorching heat and epic trek, we kept ourselves amused by making jokes about Mae Kok. The walk seemed like it would never end, but Freddie and Flick led the pack, setting a pace that was grueling for ...

Barnaby and his friends travelled to Chiang Rai, on a Green Bus (very luxurious). Barnaby nicknamed the bus the Carlsberg bus, as if Carlsberg made buses..... They were collected in a pick-up and taken into the jungle to stay with the Akha Hill Tribe.

... in between 700 - 2400 Baht per day (before costs). We think that will make us 10 000 - 20 000 Baht per month or sometimes more, which is very good. It cost us 240 000 Baht to buy that business. Guest house - one of the things I have been doing lately is helping Mirror Foundation buy and set up a guest house. Called Mirror Guest House, it has a website: http://www.mirrorartgroup.org/guesthous e/ Mirror Foundation relies on ...

Tuesday 6 January 2009 Today after the morning meeting I did the orientation training for the 2 new volunteers from Antipodeans (Casey and Toni) and for the group of RMIT student teachers. About 3 hours of me talking! Somehow they survived. Then I drove the RMIT students with Daow and Chai (a Thai intern) to Pakhaodam School which is almost an hour away. They met the teachers, had a look around and observed some of the classes to get a feel for the level of the ...

We've been on a one day/night trek organised through the guesthouse. It was laughably bad! Here's the story... Slimy John sold us and led us on a trek to a Lahu village. It's a funny old day. For a start I'm full of the cold and don't feel that I should go, but John says we'd lose all the money, so we walk. The walk up the hillside is really nice, going up the side of a stream and waterfall. When we get to a village at 1pm we're shown to ...

... that was chartered for the day we arrived there. But it only fly's when it was full. So we had a feed in a decent café and boarded this local bus which was an experience in its self. A bus with locals and packages everywhere. All the windows and doors not closed. Clive and Conor sat with the luggage and had huge leg space. We arrived safe and sound in Chiang Kong.

... had to be done in wet, manageable soil. Or in the case of the sticky rice, we had to plough the soil a bit to make it manageable. Some thoughts on all this. It relies a lot on the weather. If there isn't enough water the whole thing won't work and the plants won't survive replanting. This is a concern as we are now heading into an era of unpredictable weather due to human caused climate change. Second thought - at one stage just before ...

... you'll not get it back". however she tried calling our number and managed to get a response but the person who answered said nothing and hung up. I explained that I was certain it must have fallen out of my pocket in the tuk-tuk and that I believed it would be easy to trace the driver as he was clearly known to the doorman at the Wangcombe Hotel; she thought that unlikely so I suggested we try the tourist police. It's amazing how far Thais will go to avoid involving ...

... deserved beer as there were bamboo decks all along the river with bars/restaurants. It was a few kms from the city so again no tourists, just locals. So i was happy once again!! I returned my bike this morning and proceeded to the bus station for the 2 1/2 hr bus journey to here, Chiang Khong. I'm not sure what to expect with Laos but i'm excited to experience a new country, new culture, new people...i never know what's gonna come my way so just gotta take it as it comes!!
