1) To say hello to someone you know
2) To say hello to someone you'd like to know

Onto Thailand where the roads seem a little less ...

... monks and everyone else wearing white – it looked beautiful, and is something not many foreigners get to experience.

We also took some time to visit the ancient city of Ayuthaya and the temple ruins of the war between Thailand and Burma many years ago. The city is beautiful and well worth a visit.

The next day Noy (laundry lady) took me to a Buddhist meditation ceremony ...

We flew to Bangkok & were picked up by pastors of a church from there. They drove us to Pattaya a few hours away & we met up that night with a church that works in this town. The sexual exploitation here is more than unbelievable. I felt quite sickened by it all.

... taalaa tiskiin ja niinkin huikealla summalla kuin 1000THB (20€) saatiin oma kuljettaja heittämään meidät Pattayalta Bangkokiin. No okei, näytti sille, että tämä kuljettaja on saanut ajokortin noin 5 minuuttia sitten ja todellakin pelotti välillä Bangkokin liikenteessä, mutta hengissä päästiin perille :-) Niin Bangkok... Käytiin hoitamassa lippuasiat kuntoon Finnairin toimistossa ja kävellessä minun mittari näytti asteiksi lähemmäs 40c ...

This is someone that I have had a crush on for years and I recently told him I was gay (when I was 19). He says, "I have a crush on you ...

... Samet. We stopped for snorkelling. I thought I saw a clownfish in an anemone but it was different species... I did see boxfish though. For lunch we stopped the boat and fished over the side of the boat for our own barbeque lunch. I caught the first fish! There were only 5 fish caught in total. Thankfully there was plenty of fried rice to go around... The guide caught one fish which was that poisonous one that kills within minutes if eaten without the poison gland removed by specially ...
