Today was our last full day in Musagee. We went to the center's morning devotions and then to church. In the evening, some of us went back to the church to see some children perform 2 traditional Karen dances: the bamboo dance and the blessing dance. It was really interesting.

Then, we went back to the center where we had our last night w...

From leaving Heathrow and landing in Chiang Rai, I can't have slep more that 5 hours; drinks in Fram for my fareweell seemed an age ago, despite only leaving yesterday. The flight was actaully quite alright, good films and aswome Inidan cuisine inflight. Flying over Europe, Iran and Pakistan I watched the amazing landscapes fly past a thousand f...

We drank one of every Thai beer we could find. We wandered around the only part of the city that had anything going on. We listened to some live music and announced to one ...

Christmas was obviously very different than previous years. I've only been out of the country once during the holidays, and that was in England where they too celebrate the festivities. So that was odd because I was away from my family, but it still felt like Christmas; it was cold, there were trees everywhere, lots of lights, general merriment....

Chiang Rai seemed a little bit boring, We got there all the guest houses were full but they wasn't any around. We went on a tour to see the Ahka, Karen (long neck) and Yao hill tribe people who live in the mountains. They all live in a little community and speak there own language. The Karen long neck people were by far the best the women were g...

The elephant ride was great fun - we went through a village, the jungle and through a big river. We were perched on top of the elephant in a creaky wooden basket type thing and when we were going down steep and muddy sections we pretty concerned about falling out- a very bumpy ride to say the least! The elephant trainer sat on the elephant's hea...
