That's clearly where I am!
Baan Hom Samunphrai (the land and place I am staying on currently) is so lovely. Wake up and do Thai Yoga at 7, 3 delicious healthy meals a day, herbal steam bath at 5:30pm with ginger tea. And thai dessert after every dinner! I smell so incredible, it is ridiculous. After 4 days of the steam bath, my skin is so soft and I smell like sweet herbs.
Every night we can hear the monks doing their evening prayers.
Today I went into town with Homprang (the owner) and James (my petite frere!). We went to a shopping mall that was just crazyness upon crazyness. Every sense is completely overwhelmed (happily).
Everything is cheap, it is hard not to want everything.. especially clothes :\ I did buy some thai fisherman pants (220 baht=$7) that I am very happy about! And I was given beautiful pants and a light hoodie by another student. It is interesting though, feeling "I want, I want, I want" when I normally don't care so much, and giving up that feeling of want because for now, I don't need. I'm sure as my trip progresses, I will buy a few more things. Everything is just so BEAUTIFUL! And in the states, all of these clothes would go for $20-40+, easily.
Speaking of clothes, I just washed my clothes in the shower with some Lavender Bronner's I found in there.. I hope they dry sometime within the next few days!
The only thing I am having a hard time with is finding a place to live. I'm just trying to remain in a place of trust, knowing I will be taken care of and end up exactly where I am supposed to.
I'm finding I am shy and quiet here but I am enjoying not talking. I love listening.
I miss hugging though.
I love speaking Thai.
I have a feeling my English is going to become poor.

Thai money, Baht
Nice space for meditation
