chillin in nakhon pathom with my frined Yo -staying with her mom in a big teak house outside of town. talk about peaceful compared to india. nobody honks. public pissing is not such the national passtime. the food is great (although i confess to have cheated and eaten fish and had pork literally put in my mouth by her mom! well... when in Rome;b. the temp is great and humid. and most of all the company makes it feel like home. Yo is one of those people i will always know and connect with no matter how much time has gone between us. she's super into Buddhism and is very wise and soothing to be around.
presently i can hear the monks chanting prayers from the temple on the rise across the street -tallest standing buddha in thailand. he's absolutely beautiful. and so few people know or think to come to this place. although otherwise it's just a bustling typical thai town of several 100 thou.
followed Yo to her IT classes the last couple of days. now i gotta look for the bus sched to Khao lak... looking forward to being in the water... oneness...

but will also have to backtrack to tell of my last days in Kolkata -the city of Kali, Shiva's dark consort -the godess of mortality, the ancient banyan tree and endless people. pictures too! tomorrow...

off to teach with Yo and her EFL students -she'll be wondering what happened to me.
