In response to "How do I define travel?"

Wordsmitty ✍️ I've been 'home' 6 months... 4 months too long. I applied for a new passport. Hoping to travel come December. Will make an entry of possibilities in this blog!

In response to "Ides of August "

Wordsmitty ✍️ Many people seek thrills. Boring moments are quickly forgotten. I try to look deeper... still boring. But... someone was born that day and someone died. All days matter to someone. We're all just passing through...

In response to "Ides of August "

I remember reading this. Seven months later I comment (reminder comment from "333 steps"

)

I also like watching the scenery and people as I pass through or over. The open land always says so much in its shades of green, trimmed here and there stretching across its curves and hills with man's intrusions popping up once in a while.

Never thought of what the day tastes like. Sound and smell, yeah. I'll have to think about that more and see what I come up with.

Thanks for taking us along with you, but without being in the heat.

In response to "January 2024 angst"

Wordsmitty ✍️ Forgot to check... Tokyo? I could visit you in Japan? Cherry Blossom Time. Don't miss it!

Of course, as you know, I went back to Montana for two weeks and returned via Taiwan.

In response to "Expatriation? "

Sumojo Thanks for reminding me to read this article in full. I wonder about the flip side... there's also an urge to nest in a safe cave... kinda like a hobbit.

My experiences living in Costa Rica and Thailand have remolded me.

Yet, at this moment I just want to curl up and nest.

In response to "Expatriation? "

Thanks for the link Kare. I read and agreed with every word especially This journey, sometimes difficult and lonely, is also a journey towards understanding and acceptance. It teaches us humility, patience, and open-mindedness.

In response to "Orange is a color of winter."

Lyn's a Witchy Woman Yes and no. Country people are poor. Survival is #1, not health. Think of factory towns in the Great Lakes in the 50s and 60s.

The problem last year included Laos and Myanmar. The burning is sugarcane and corn. The governments made a mistake by allowing burning in February and in Thailand there was an uproar because it affected tourism in Chiang Mai... $$$ is king.

There are solutions but local people need to be consulted and big-money corporations that buy up the products and encourage production at any cost must be regulated or reined in. Education and consequences... right now there isn't much of either.

Aren't they worried about putting all that smoke into the air, how it will affect other growth as well as the people who reside there.

In response to "Paradise has pitfalls "

💀Legerdemaim💀 I don't fit in. And yes, that's frustrating. If I'm traveling I try to act respectful but I usually don't have time to learn enough to do better. That said, I'm living in Thailand. Living in a place is an entirely different experience.

Locals don't always want needy greedy visitors that disrupt their peaceful lives. Some places are overrun by traveling hoards. Prague comes to mind.

Winter's coming

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Just thoughts:

a. I could be ready to travel come December. There's nothing keeping me here. Plenty to see and do elsewhere. Timing is crucial and nothing can be done until I receive my new passport.
b. Malaysia end of November? I should be in Cambodia next week; I won't be there. Stop in Singapore or Korea to-and-fro? That would expend a two month trip to three months.
c. Key dates in Thailand: December 5th and 10th are holidays. January 18th is a holiday in Udon Thani.

Possible trips:

1. Thailand.
2. Georgetown MY, Thailand.
3. Singapore (Georgetown), Thailand (Songkla or Phuket, Hua Hin, Bangkok, Ayuttaya)
4. Korea (no visa needed), Thailand (Bangkok).
5. Korea, Singapore, Georgetown, Thailand.

Details:

A. Ayuttaya:
Morning train is cheap. Place to stay is about $10/night.
See:
Wat Mahathat.
Wat Phra Si Sanphet.
Local Lunch spot.
Wat Chaiwatthanaram.
Ayutthaya Market.
Bang Pa-In Palace.
Wat RatchaBurana.
B.
Georgetown:
The Century Boutique Hotel George Town... about $47/3 nights.
C.
Yala:
Check Agoda.
Hat Yai:
Shi-ro-i Poshtel $34/3 nights
Prachuap Kiri Khan:
Jungle Cafe and Guesthouse $36/3 nights
