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... 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...
Tonight, I attended my Tuesday group meeting. There were the usual crew...myself and four others, plus two new guys. When there are seven people, it's a struggle to get around to everyone twice and so, getting two chances to speak becomes almost impossible. This is where a strong facilitator is important. To make sure the session moves along at a constant pace and nobody uses up too much time. Despite the numbers, the session went well and everyone had a short, but fair turn.
Ash and Tamara (the couple from group) are coming over again tomorrow to do another weights session. I've been getting to sleep earlier and waking earlier in the morning, which is allowing me to get through more work throughout the day. I'm getting more things done around the house...one job at a time. I'll know in a couple of weeks if my application to access my 401k will be granted. I am confident about it, but we shall see. All is well and I am happy.
