And it begins once again

So my adventures start again tomorrow morning as i will be taking a bus a few hours west of bangkok to a city called kanchanaburi, which for you history buffs is where the bridge over river kwai is. And in case your a movie lover i recommend seeing the 1957 film Bridge Over River Kwai (Khwae in thai). Its a stretch of railway that the japanese made POWs and thai, chinese, burmese prisoners build including serveral bridges and khwae inparticular was bombed repeatedly by allie forces. So!!!... anyway im sure after visiting i will have more historic info on it. It sounds like a sleepy town a bit off the tourist track since there are no beaches or big cities. Sounds like a perfect place to relax and get some world perspective. After that i come back to bangkok and will head south to meet my friend chantelle off the coast around Kho Pha-ngan where the next leg of the trip will begin as we blaze thru the islands ( and maybe a route or two back in tonsai!!) Anywho hope all is well. And ry and sky enjoy some awesome food for me. i will still be on the asia weight loss diet. Boy im gonna need some fatty foods when i get home.

  1. ryan's right...you have to live YOUR life...and it does go pretty fast. and you never know when life will take a drastic turn and you are no longer ABLE to go to asia for three months.
    the trick is finding a place to live and work to do that IS living your life...that is an expression of who you are...because, in the end, it's not what we DID...or even the places we went...it's whether or not we were an authentic expression of the Self.

    and i second the part where ryan also said, "be careful"! enjoy your adventure...make good use of your moments of solitude and silence...and take care of yourself.
    your mother loves you.
