Hello Mrs. Suzettesp,Thank you for sharing wonderful pictures. I really enjoy look at all of those pictures that you post on Travel pod. I believe you must have a great trip and incredible experiences. I would like to make some comments on Laotian Currency. Actually, one of the currencies pictures that you post is Cambodian Currency, not Laotian Currency. I hope I did not disappointed you of making the comments.Have a nice day,
I think Thai Government are making money with the Padaung tribe. They themselves are so vulnerable. They fled to thai border cos of the political situations and brutal regime. So pitiful. What is their future? No own land, no own business for income and so on. They are managed by Thai government. Fortunately, they have some chance for education. Myanmar military Regime is so cruel and good for nothing. Stupid leader, the regime!
Each of these scarves sell for 100Bhat or about 3 dollars and take about 4 days to make. You forget the yarn cost, perhaps 50Bhat. Hard fieldwork give 10Bhat/day.<br><br>The tourist's contact by the reality in developing country , is the long neck woman.<br>
BURMA or MYANMAR You use both terms in your blogs - generally one uses BURMA if you hate the current military regime OR MYANMAR if you approve of it. Try and use just the one you stand for.
GREAT BLOG I started reading your BLOGS and they are great. I am going to Chiang Mai at the end of September 2008, I will possibly staying for 6 months. I would love to learn the name of your Hotel for $9 a night in Chiang Mai with a po ol. Joe (westbounder@yahoo.com)
From Mom Saw this note on your page. ' This is a featured travel blog! This is a top pick!' with a gold star. Your blog is so impressive, as is your courage with tigers!!! Love, Mom
Re: from Mom Yep it really was. It was at least three stories tall, and it was up on a hill so really big. I've got more pictures of it I can show you when I get home. =)
From Mom You're right, Thailand is lush + green. Nothing like India. But we truly needed the India experience in our life's journey. Take Care. Love you! Mom
Keepin' it real Hey Suz - I just got caught up on your entries, even kept the girls up a few extra minutes to show them the cool elephant shrub-sculptures or whatever you'd call them. But I love this current one the most; while I love a ll of the photos of all of the picturesque things you've seen, this entry just paints a picture of traveling in foreign lands!! It sounds like you have completely mastered this! :) So I was thinking to myself the other day that maybe we'd see you soon, maybe you'd be home for the girls birthdays but then I see you planning to 'come back to Thailand with a fresh new 30 day visa' and now I'm thinking maybe you have just become a permanent traveler!! I'm surprised that you have not secured some type of 'work on the road' job and written that you will next see us at the kids' high school graduation! ;) The girls really love your post cards, especially the one with the floating market. THanks for sending them - it is so thoughtful! Now whenever I say we have to go food shopping, Hannah without fail asks me if we can go to the floating market instead of stop and shop. I'm sure she has some image in her head of these woman daily floating down the river at the end of our road, and me dragging her to the boring store instead of the beachside-mart. I tried to explain the whole 'that's really far away' concept and had to quit after the 1000th 'but WHY Mama?' Hope your destination was worth the 6 hour bumpy ride! Just to give you some perspective, when you have kids there will be times that your week is so crazy that you look forward to the relative 'piece and quiet' of getting a cavity filled, so at that time you will look back on that 6 hour bumpy ride with crazy muzak and think that it was a little slice of heaven!!! :) Sending you a big hug!!Jana, Dave, Amanda & Hannah
Hey folks,
