สวัสดีค่ะ

My new address is:
2/1 Soy Prachasuksan
Muang Nakhon Phanom City
Nakhon Phanom Province
48000 THAILAND
If you would like to look at videos from my trip I am uploading them at www.youtube.com/user/emma1elizabeth

"The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for. "

"See things as they are and write about them. Don’t waste your creative energy trying to make things up. Even if you are writing fiction, write the things you see and know."

Sometimes my weeks are full of adventure,
And sometimes my weeks are relaxing and slow.
So please be patient with updates,
You want to read them as much as I want to write them.
Peace and Love.

PS. As this is an imperfect world and as this adventure I am on is full of unexpected surprises, I would like to apologise in advance for any comments that may seem offensive or full of frusteration. This whole experience is new and exciting for me, but there are things that I find different and frusterating. I'm not writing about them to complain, but to write the truth of my exchange, the people I meet and all of the places I go to. Because if everything were perfect, it wouldn't be an adventure... it would be a vacation.

Down the Drain

You know that feeling when a bucket of cold water is dumped on you, freezing your inner core and sending a shock through your whole body? That's my shower in a nutshell. I have been living with my new family for 4 days now; of these 4 days, three of them the water has not been working. Therefore the toilets don't flush, the sink doesn't run, and I shower by pouring pails and pails of cold water on myself. Every once in a while the slow trickle of water in the sink downstairs will pour enough water to wash a few dishes. I've given up hope on my own personal bathroom. The water hasn't worked since I've moved in.
