i spent an entire day on the back of uncle nikons scooter, exploring sangkampeng (a horrible romanization of the town i live in) we stopped by a house of one particular friend who lived far in the country side in a completely bare wood house on stilts. i sat on the concrete stoop, in the sun, sipping (my favorite) mystery orange drink in a bag of ice, watching the thai cows graze in the field in front of the mountains. this was it. i may or may not have teared up. purely unbelieveably majestic and it hit me like a ton of sticky rice. im in love.
oh my goodness. every time i read this i die thinking about what you are doing. this is perfect for you. exactly what you need. i hope you are soaking it all in.
