Benjamin and I chasing people with laser beams last night from daniel's18 th fl apt- big change from sleeping on the floor at the hostel. His cute fluffy white kitten is chewing on toes.

Btw idon' t recommend Thai massage on a full stomach -unless your into that kind of thing- in that case it should cost about 10$ or less. For the food and the massage.

I had burma tacked on to the end of my trip but if I can find enough perfectly crisp 100$ bills I may go there in a week or two. I had planned on linear travel --now may do some hoping around as flights are pretty cheap -but first I will go to ajahn buddhadasa's suan moukke monastery south of Bangkok. There's a ten day silent meditation retreat I am looking forward to!
