Yes. You need to support each other.

It might rain today or tomorrow in Udon Thani. Next Sunday they may have thunderstorms in time for Songkran. Last year it went over 40°... hopefully not this year. Very hot at night though; it's definitely summer in Isaan.

I'm glad you are doing well.

In response to "Stories from the Village"

We don't know the stories tucked into the pages of an unopened book. Slowly... we learn them. Pan has stories about his family and growing up that he has only eluded to. I suspect they are the source of much pain.

I could've predicted it. Not the details... but a dictator with no empathy? That was a foreseen disaster.

Learn Mandarin.

Let's hope the worst doesn't really happen. It's not the US that will suffer. It's the whole world (except those with lots and lots of money).

In response to "Life in the Slow Lane"

One day at a time ... in the present ... more peaceful.

Selling your big bike may be interesting as I haven't seen Thais riding them. Perhaps another ex-pat would appreciate it though.

I was there for Songkran last year. I can see why it's a popular festival. April is a difficult month until the rains start up.

In response to "Isaan Part II...The Reality of Rural Life in Thailand"

I should visit Suwannaphum but being smaller than Roi Et I doubt that it's as advanced. They have some old ruins and there's a place I could stay.

I hope to get back to Roi Et whenever I return.

In response to "This Boring Life"

You'll be in bed soon. It's 23:49. (9 a.m. here; cold, cloudy)

I would try to be up by 8 a.m. in Udon Thani as I exercised in the morning and it usually was "warm" by 10.

I would watch TV at 20:30 and go to bed whenever.

Boring? Yes.

I would walk through the neighborhoods and sometimes take notes or photos. I noticed the small things.

In response to "Three Out of Five Ain't Bad"

I... haven't gone back and rated the places I stayed. But... mixed reviews. I'd gladly stay in the same place in Khon Kaen and Phimai again. I'd consider the place in Korat. I would rather not stay in either place in Mukdahan.

Honesty is important in relationships, as is communication. That said, you've crossed a few lines in Thailand. Culture is only one of them. Personally, I crossed more than a few...

In response to "Life Imitating Art"

Two very different worlds.

I used white chalk sticks against the ants. Mosquitoes?

Bang Saphan is a ways south of where I want to visit. Quieter than Hua Hin? Have fun!

A Better Day

I've had a better day today. I did weights and went for a ride. I also got the glass door lock changed after a lot of mucking around.

I can't bring myself to book a holiday yet. There's too much going on and I don't want to regret making plans only to have them come to nothing but disappointment. I'll hang in there and wait until I am more confident about how things are going before following through with a firm booking for flights and accommodation. It sucks, but I can't see any other way around it right now.

I know I need a break, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. One foot in front of the other and don't use drugs.
