Chiang Mai

Bangkok experience -same same. Everything went smooth, or at least in the typical Bangkokway, with all that comes with it. I know my way around all the, for me, important places and my stay at the 4 star hotel in Sukumvhit turned out to be a 2-days treatment instead of one. As it turned out, the monsunrain had destroyed the railway up north, so my plan of taking the nighttrain was not longer an option. I chose to stay an extra night at the awesome hotel, enjoying all the facilities, to then fly up to Chiang Mai the next day instead. So not just another time in Bangkok, also another couple of hours on Suvarnabhumi -international airport. But this time, I was at the domestic part which was a bit of a new experience, so as much as you can enjoy airports, I did.
I then boarded my flight number 26 (?) (starting to lose the number).

Since this spontanious extend of my stay in Bkk turned out to happen on my exact birthday I couldn't more than enjoy it even more. I started the day with the gym, steamroom and an amazing hotelbreakfast to finish up with a thaimassage at my favourite Spa-place. For you who hasn't been in Thailand, you should know that an hour Thaimassage doesn't cost more than 300 baht (which is 60 sek ish..).
Being alone was pefect in terms of the realisation of how much Love that surrounds me regardless the physical presence of loved ones. I recieved so many genuine birthdaywishes full of grace -Thank you. I belong to you.

I met my first "friend" already on the plain. I had found a hostel on the internet already, close to my massageschool, which turned out to be ok so it saved me the effort of walking around searching for a decent place to stay for, what could take, hours.

There is a tiny, soulfull little Yogaplace/cafe on the way to school from my place which I was lucky to find already on my first morning. That is also where I met Michi that same day, a beatiuful soul that was taking the same class as me. We have a lot of fun together, and mostly, a wicked exchange of experiences and knowledge. This cafe is my ashram at the moment. A couple of Yogis and hippiepeople, all sharing a moment together every morning befor the day starts.

We just finished Thai Yoga massage Level 1 today with 10 other people and I have decided to stay for another 2 weeks to get to the advanced level. I enjoy it a lot and it is a good part for me to get mor in touch with healingwork.

I am staying a bit outside the city center (also called "old town") where there are no tourists (except the massagstudents). All the food you can buy here is the typical thai street-food and no signs or nothing is in english. Hello thailanguage! niit nitt  noi noi!

Not much to do here except focusing on school and live simple life. I enjoy every second. It is around 30degrees, half rainy, half sunny. I welcome and embrace the weather in all it's shapes. But if sunny tomorrow when I have a day off, I will try to find a pool and recieve the energy of life in the sun.

All for now,
Nite Nite
