Well, here goes.
I have been gone from Kathmandu now for about 2 weeks but it seems like another universe here in Thailand. The energy, for starters, is so much better than in Thamel it is almost hard to believe. Maybe it is the obvious comfort securities that Thailand has to offer that makes you think everything is OK. In Thamel, it is gray and rainy; people are angry and depressed; there is very little building going on; people have been brainwashed into thinking that some stupid ideology like Maoism is God's gift to the poverty suffering world. Unbelievable to me because I know it to be another form of rip off of the political kind. The Nepalese will all be broke and bent and old and still be believing that some stupid ideology is their ticket to the 21st Century. They will never go through some rigorous kind of consciousness changing so they can see reality correctly because the Dalai Lama owns this idea and they do not like him. Too bad.
Anyway, since being here in Thailand I went to Koh Samui for about 10 days and had a really nice time sitting right on the beach. It was such a surprise and such a find. Bang Po/Bantai Beach is the name of the beach and it is on the other side of the island from all the parties. The place was pretty busy with mostly family tourism, but I liked it because I was right on the beach. I am going back there in about 3 months time after some renovations have been done to the Resort and I think I am going to stay there for awhile. I met somebody in Bhoudinath who had ended up staying on Bang Po for 7 years and when he first told me I could not believe it, but after visitng the place, I could believe it. Good place to unload all of the anxiety about the future and do some positive meditation.
Now, I am back in Bangkok and on my way to Phomh Penh for awhile to visit with Harry and find out what is happening.
These are my thoughts for today.
