Reflections

Since arriving in Thailand in February this year, I feel I have grown very much. I am feeling very comfortable here in Chiang Mai and feel I could stay for many years. I have not experienced a feeling of homesickness, nor do I miss my lifestyle in Boston. Not yet have a felt, oh I miss it.
What I do miss is my friends and family, but we are used to being apart also and it feels great to be following my dream to live in Asia and create a life here. There are many jobs here for teaching and there will never be a shortage. It is necessary to live a simple life here though, and I have no problem for doing that. I feel like everything that I have gone through before in my life has prepared me to live in Asia for a extended amount of time.

I haven't been feeling very inspired for photography lately, but recently in the past few days I have been feeling the creative urges starting to happen, so I will be having more stories and photographs of where I am living in the next few months.
Many things are changing for me here, I am moving into a new apartment beginning August 1st. It is a new apartment building and I am renting about the same size studio apartment as I have now, except everything is brand new, it is on the top floor; 8th floor, and it has an amazing view of the West sunset; the entire mountain range. So when I am on my balcony I can sit and drink tea, do my homework writing papers and doing research, and contemplate how to continue educating myself as much as possible.
There are numerous opportunities to educate myself here in Chiang Mai. They have language centers all over, cooking schools, traditional thai massage schools, and easy access to Chiang Mai University which has many opportunities to take a ny class i choose.
After living abroad for sometime now, I have realized fully just how important education is. So I am dedicating all of my time to Education and helping to educate others as well. This is my purpose here and I will succeed. I hope you all support me in my decisions.

More to come...
