Cyclone Nargis touching Chiang Mai

Cyclone alert
"Sixteen provinces in upper Thailand went on alert on Saturday as tropical cyclone Nargis moved so close to Thailand it ripped off Burmese roofs and closed down Rangoon airport and broadcasting stations." (Bangkok Post)

Since Wednesday we get hit with high winds and heavy rains. It comes and goes. My plans to go to Hui Ba Rai to drive building material into the jungle had to be post-boned. I am planing to go on Monday, but doubt that I will be able to go. The beginning of the dirt road into the valley has an extreme steep incline.
I am also waiting for spare parts for the truck. (I have no clue how they are called, but has to do with the front wheels)

Friday and Saturday I have been teaching English at Lanna International Church in the English camp they are going to have every month. It was fun! I did my first "official" simultaneous translation from Thai to English. It was exciting to see that my Thai studies are really paying off.
