by now it is night time again - lets go back for the fire...
these dude was very good and his girlfriend could even sing to his songs. best of all - he wrote them himself!!
competition - very good!!
the fire!
a magic place - that was never boooooring! we had a wide range of people there. from 20 to 58 and from all over the world. so you have a wide range of views on everything and a lot of different thing to talk about. politiks, trave, food, musik, philosophy, the meaning of life, the way of life in different countries and so on and so on. the smoke makes you switch your seats randomly - so you have somebody new sitting next to you in no time and everybody talks to everybody. together with the music it was fantastic.
jews, germans and arabs and americans sit on the same fire and everybody talks to everybody - make fire not war!

now i do not know who puts this road signs up - well i did consult my trusty old roadmap. the (former) kingdom of laos is to the east and the (former) kingdom of burma to the west.
a brief survey with the locals brought nothing but smiles (mind you NOT to know means you loose face - but if you smile and pretend NOT to understand - everything is ok!)
i puzzeled a while about the repent thing but in the end ...
swinging my hammock under my bungalow - visitors!
this is well and truly the time of the digital camera - the ilife steve jobs is talking about. ipod's you see a lot - some have different mp3 players - a few have still cd-players - can you believe it - small example my 40 gig ipod hold 10.000 songs the 60 gig 15.000 songs - lets say a cd has 12 songs - that is up to 1250 cds on the big one and still over 800 cds on my little one. and the thing is a bit bigger than a pack of cigarettes. so the old school cd die-hard weirdo's carry 40 cd's in a big black pack - ehhh - not even 500 songs - what a dazzling array!
errr... what i want to say was that over 90% of farangs i meet carry digital cameras nowaday... now you know too :-)
