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).

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!

What's That Knocking Sound? It's Just My Knees.

Reality can be a scary thing to face. For many years, it's been my dream to move to Thailand and begin a new life. But now things are becoming irreversible as a matter of course, I am shitting my pants in fear. Ideally (plan A), would have been to keep my home, rent it out and then, if things go awry, that home becomes plan B. Unfortunately, this isn't possible, so I am just going to have to face my fear and allow the future to be a little less structured than I would like...I think they call it winging it.

I have time before the inevitable sale of the house and my relocation. I need to use the time wisely, whilst remaining committed and on track because this isn't the one where I want to drop the ball. There is too much at stake (a roof over my head) to even consider.

I know I will be OK. I know there will be days when I will question my decisions I know how much hard work lies ahead...but, I also know that once I achieve my goals, I will look back and be proud...and hopefully, happy.
