สะบายดี หลวงพระบาง Sabai dee Luang Prabang : Take I

We left the office (at Sathorn Road) at 5 pm to Mochit Bus Satation. Armelle made her bag quickly and easy! I brought my both Carry-All for this trip! They are my buddy J Madame Alamsri (my aunt adopted or the landlady) prepared us a bag of provision.

We promised each other not to talk about work cos now we are on holidays since we left the office. This is maybe my last vacations as a bag pack. I might take this occasion to think about what I’m going to do in next two months. I’ve reached to the point where I call the end. I need some inspiration. I need some change! Moreover I need more encouragement to tell some people that I want to leave! Be brave Ou! Anyway we reached to Mochit around 6 pm I went directly to buy the ticket from 999 companies. I forgot that there is the also Sombat Tour’s company which the seat is more comfortable than 999 companies. We pay each other 727 baht for BKK-Chiang Khong with the fist class (Po.1) which leaves at 7 pm.

So we have one hour for diner. The bus is not full tonight. Beside us there were two children. They were so quiet! I got some sleep tonight. We arrived at Chiang Khong about 6:40 am. We took a tuktuk to the port. (30 bht /person) The border will open at 8 am between that we went to the toilet to make our-self fresh by washing our face and brushing hairs and teeth.

Now we are ready to cross the River, the river of life, Mekong River

Blowin' In the Wind

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man?

Yes, n' how many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes, n' how many times must the cannon balls fly

Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin'in the wind,

The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea?

Yes, n' how many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free?

Yes, n' how many times can a man turn his head

Pretending he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin'in the wind

How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky?

Yes, n' how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry?

Yes, n' how many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

love love love Greatest LOVE of all

Be happy with what you have and are be generous with both,

and you won't have to hunt for happiness.

Mother's day

In Thailand, we think of two mothers today; one is a mother who gave us a birth and our Queen’s mom. August 12, is a holiday (Mother’s day and Queen’s anniversary). A son who lives in a small village near the border Thai-Burma, he works in the center of the city. He comes home not very often. He takes this chance to come back home to visit her mom. He brought a bag of rice for her mom. “I don’t know what I should bring her as a present today, so I brought a bag of rice” he said. So cute!!!

Thai people are very shy to show their love even for the parents. Kissing and hugging are not our culture. Many people wait for today to say “I love you mom!” Then, kiss her two cheeks J she replies quickly “I love you too my dear!” Why we don’t do this often??? I don’t have no more my mom, now it’s too late for me to do this all! For you who still have mom, Please don’t forget that she’s the one who love you the most and care for you every minute.

On the roadside, there are villagers; are removing grass and weeds. This is the project development. It’s a present for our Queen’s mom. The villagers look very happy to make this up. Don’t wonder! The queen works very hard for Thai people. We love the queen as we love the king! Long live the Queen !

A drawing from Mercy Centre

As I saw George W. Bush on TV, between his visits at Mercy Center Klong Toey district,(a Bangkok's biggest slum) August 6, 2008.

He is blissful to participate in drawing activities with the children. It was a lovely time for him and for the children.

Me, I’ve receiving their drawings and their letters very often. Drawing is a talent for not all the children. We teach them to hold a pencil since they was 2.5 years old to exercise their tiny muscles after that they could create and imagine their world even make a copy of cartoon network them self. I was hit by this drawing because I love so much the Pooh and his friends. This child has done a good job! Look at the color she made! It’s living! The talent is a natural ability to do something well, some other children haven’t had it. But all the children can make their drawing beautiful and living by putting their heart.

Drawing by Oraya Ketchaisri, she made it for her godparents CHMPEIL's family
