… since I last wrote.
Meditation: Last
Saturday I went to the “Forest Wat” (I can’t remember what it’s called in Lao).
Monks lead a meditation every week at 4 pm. We did a 20 minute sitting
meditation, a 20 minute walking meditation, and then we finished with another
20 minute sitting meditation. It was pretty cool! I think I’ll head back there
this week.
Bowling and Checkers:
I’m referring to actual bowling this time. It was Sareeta’s birthday last
weekend so we went out for drinks and finished off the evening with a little late night bowling. Some of the
guys working there were playing checkers. They decided to make their own board!
Waterfalls: This
Sunday I went for a nice bike ride to visit Kristine, Nyah, and Ricky. After a
delicious lunch, Ricky and I went for a motorbike ride. We saw a sign for a
waterfall 9 km away so we went to find it! We made it there. Eventually. Let me
tell ya, it wasn’t 9 km away. By the time we got back it was pitch black out so
I stayed the night and biked back in the morning! 
Weird Fruit: Ricky
gave me some fruit to take home. Nobody knows what it’s called but we decided
that it’s probably in the tamarind family. It has a hard shell and a pit, and
is kind of powdery on the inside. It tastes very tarty. It’s super bizarre, but
quite good actually.
Doodles: I
finally started learning to read and write. Look at my page of doodles! It’s
all starting to make sense now!
Until next time,
