i've got about a million pictures and videos to share but i imagine it'll be at least a while before i get them up... i finished my massage classes and spent three days with my step-mothers family in a small town about 5 hours out of bangkok (phimai, if you've followed the blog). i drove for hours and hours all over the place on a vespa type thing and saw all kinds of really cool, rural-like scenes (and all without a single crash). i also got to spend one day helping work. it was a type of small scale fish harvest where a pond was drained and we ran around slipping trying to grab up all the fish still working around in the mud. plus some.
after that i went on a three day meditation retreat (which was thankfully entirely free since i had about 15 bucks in my account at the time). it was all in english and pretty rad. in total, about 16 hours of meditaion, some extremely interesting dharma talks given by a very expirienced buddhist monk, and a lot of vegetarian food (although monks and people on these types of retreats dont eat after 12 in the afternoon (and yet we stayed up until 10:30 every night and woke at 5).
now im back in bangkok, wrapping things up. im sure after a few days in switzerland i'll be able to find some time to finish posting all the things from thailand. maybe 10 or so days...
