I haz it.
For life. For food. For music. For freedom. For a very amicable divorce. For not having to show an identity card at police controls on the Burmese/Thai border.
For friends, old and new, and family.
For the internet and it’s many applications for being able to share this journey with you all, and I’m not just talking this southeast asia trip.
I arrived in Bangkok late last night, and it’s quite the culture shock after being in North Thailand for the past 3.5 weeks and being on the remote border with Burma the past week and hardly no tourists.
I spent 2 hrs at a bus station and then 9 hours in 3 different busses yesterday, and I spent the whole time reading one book, start to finish. It was good, usually I fall asleep really quickly.
It made me think a lot about the past, present and future, and about how happy I am in the present. I have vague plans/ideas for the future, but mostly I am just very happy right now.
Anyway, enough of this babble, back to crazy Bangkok, Khao San Road even. Blog and photos about my trek in the Um Phang Wilderness area maybe later. Was good.
…and I have gratitude that you’re blogging about your travels, and I can read them!
Off for five days in Ubud, Bali next week – looking forward to the break. Hope you’re going well, Simone. :)
Thanks Miles, going very well!
I didn’t stay in Bali long, but Ubud was definitely my favourite. Especially the rice paddy walk. But even in Ubud I was only 1/2 days. Later realised I couldn’t keep travelling that fast!
