Book: The Plague, Albert Camus
After a 7hr jet ride up the Mekong from Luang Prabang to Chang Mai (wearing a dodgey go-cart helmet on a canoe with a farrei engine), a one day cook course which involved learning how to lash together a divine Thai green curry, how to tell the difference between Jasmine rice and sticky rice, a dunedin and a jack fruit and the three different forms of Basil, i've found myself exhausted after just finishing a 3 day intensive traditional Thai massage course (or lazy man's yoga as they call it in Thailand) which focused on pulling, rubbing, kneading, smacking, squeezing, poking, walking, and kicking, in one form or other almost every part of the body.
This last week there's been more wonderful experiences as there are words in the opening sentence of this blog!
From here i'll be catching the night train down to Bangkok were i've decided to put myself up for a couple of days in a nice hotel with a pool and breakfast, as a treat, for a few days before i head do a little rambling with the dogs over in Hong Kong.
When i get home around the end of March i'll be looking for some brave volunteers with the constitution of a horse and high pain thresholds for me to perfect my new skills!
BTW: Have uploaded a few photos from Laos. More to come. Check out their equivalent to Toni and Guy!
