Paths nearly crossed
Hey - you should have let me know you were in Chiang Mai!! I've been in the Burmese library there the last month and only left yesterday! Now I'm back in Oz!! We could have shared a beer and a banana pancake - although I much prefer banana Roti!!! I wonder how close our paths crossed? Have a greta Xmas and New Year!
