Monkey business
•
Today I went up to Prao. This is a town about an hour and a half North of Chiang Mai. Actually it is a whole Ampoe, or district hidden behind mountains. Driving from Chiang Mai I pass Mae Jo and then later drive over some hills that leads to Prao.…

What should I write
•
There would be a thousand stories, adventures and episodes. I just can’t think of any right now. I’m sitting in bed 11.30 pm. Tomorrow is Saturday and I will drive up North to Prao to meet Mongkun. We will go to a thanksgiving service in a Lahu village. This will…

The dilemma of the news
•
Maybe I read to much, maybe I just get to much information. I just feel overwhelmed by what is happening out here in the world. Through the internet, newspaper and CNN/BBC I have access to the worlds disasters, war, genocide and latest starlet gossip. I mostly get the suffering and…

A cold and time to read
•
The last three days I went down with a cold. I felt really week and had an awful runny nose. There was not much I could do than to drink tea and wait for better days. Fortunately I found time to get into reading "the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy".…

Another day in “paradise”
•
Sunday today. I realised I haven’t written for a while. I spend some days up in the mountains with my co-workers. It’s been a good trip. Time is running short for all the things I should do. We are going to Switzerland in four weeks. I look foreward to go…

GPS

I haven’t made a wish list for donkeys years. Actually since I lost faith in Santaclaus. But of course I never really grew up and I still have a mental list of things I really want. Thinking of wish lists I realise that we only make them because we don’t…
