... bright and interested, which makes my job all the more easy. <br><br> The house I live in, which is on the school's campus has its ups and downs. Ants and spiders are always wandering about, but they're honestly not bothersome. At night though, mosquitoes manage to sneak in and are an issue in the common areas. But if I stay in my room, as I usually do in the evenings, they don't bother me in there. I also have my OWN room for the first<br>time in my life ...

... no me lo esperaba pero debo reconocer que fue extraniamente agradable.<br><br>Tras las orejas agarro unas tijeras mas grandes que las de la costura de mi madre y sujetandome la cabeza empezo a cortarme los pelos de dentro de la nariz!!!<br><br>Por ultimo, me planto una toalla caliente con olor a nenuco en la cara y me dio un masaje facial, capilar y que acabo (como no) con un profundo frotamiento del interior de las orejas.<br><br>Todo el proceso duro ...

Paikallisen miehen kertomaa <br> Chiang Maissa polahdettiin rautatieasemalle ja saatiin kuin saatiinkin paljonpuhutut, puoli-ilmaiset junaliput kolmosluokassa Keski-Thaimaaseen Phitsanulokiin. Mentiin odottelemaan junaa rautatieaseman viereiseen muovimestaan. Ravintoloitsija oli mukava, nelikymppinen ex-tuk-tuk -kuski, joka puhui kohtuu hyvaa englantia. Keskustelu alkoi perinteisella "Where are you from" -kysymyksella, mutta ...

After my knee obviously needing a solid break from riding, we decided to get to Chiang Mai (2nd largest city in Thailand) where we could spend a few days and still be entertained. We knew there was a train that went to chiang mai from a town 60km east of sukhothai, and as every second car in thailand are utes we figured we'd hitchhike to the town (Phitsanulok). So we rode out of town a few km and after ...

... pool and accommodation is provided in comfortable cabins with en-suite bathrooms. The following day we were picked up by a songthaew and taken to the bike hire centre outside the historical park of the old city. Cycling is the best way of getting around the historic park and thankfully everyone in our group knew how to ride a bike. The old city of Sukhothai, meaning dawn of happiness, comprises some 45 ...

We spent a day in Phitsanulok visiting the Folklore Museum, a very random collection of Thai artefacts, a Buddha-making factory to provide background for the many, many statues we had seen so far and Wat Phra Si Mahathat. Thailand, being the slightly strange collection of ...

Today we visited the Sargent Major Thawee Folk Museum which was very interesting. There was a small section on San Yant (sacred tattoos) explaining the designs and what powers they would give their recipient. I would really love to get one, but alas, they are given by monks to men only. We also checked out the Buranathai Buddha Image Foundry where we learned about the lost wax casting technique they ...

... third class one (no free food and maybe no seats) and it left at an unreasonably early hour, whereas the bus left at 9.30 and was air-conditioned. The trip to Chiangmai was fine. It took about six hours and we stopped for breakfast at a service station (chicken and rice). We sat behind a monk for most of the way, who was reading a book. There was a video on the bus which showed some dreadful American movie dubbed into Thai ...

... was clean and simple and only 150 baht (about $5), the vinyl covered mattress and pillows were as hard as rocks, and lumpy at that, so it was a tough sleep. PEOPLE/ANIMALS: In the night market, we were approached by 3 students for whom we filled in a research survey in English. Though we didn't understand about half of it, we weren't sure if they wanted us to mention that, and it was a good effort anyway. While filling them out ...

... on the highway as road people had forgotten to put a sign to let us know they were using this lane for the cars coming !!! Then we met this beautiful family on this small petrol station on the side of the highway, they were so nice to us, they offered some pineapple and started to chat & laugh with us. Finally reached Lampang to spend the night in a beautiful hotel to rest properly after a big day out...
