Not the same same same

Bonjour mes amis,

Ce poste sera en français, je m’excuse à l’avance avant toute personne qui ne peut pas lire ce.
Je pars demain pour le Laos et ce de façon aussi est le dernier poste en Thaïlande.

un petit apéritif pour commencer …
ces vues sont magnifiques de la région pai, partie des photos sur ce poste sont une gracieuseté de mon cher ami, Adam Bihari … le crédit est la vôtre.

Ok… I’m kidding about the french…
But it was fun.

I am deeply indulged in a multilingual existence, the current party includes English, French, Dutch, Russian, Hungarian, Hebrew, slight touches of Flemish and Scottish slang
This reminds me of the post where I described the amount of musical instruments we were traveling with.
The days pass by filled with word-play, translation jokes and coolnesses (yes, it’s a word!), accents and abundant use of enchanting languages like Hebrish and Franglais(my personal favorite).
It amazes me to see how much happiness this brings to me, I can easily play with words all day and feel like it was a meaningful and contentious day at it’s end.

I am in Chiang Mai now, after spending a month in Pai… actually, I don’t like the word “spending”, let’s say “enjoying a month in pai”. After I came back from the Burmese border I took a bigger bike and went on exploring the seriously beautiful surroundings… Here are some more highlights:

This is my bungalow and the view from it at sunset…

This is my main evening activity:

The whole gang (except adam who is taking the picture):

I want to talk to you about dogs…
In Buddhism they talk a lot about enlightened beings… which can be roughly described as living creatures abiding in a constant state of emitting kindness towards everything and everyone around.
I believe dogs pose an inspiring example of how people could be… they express unconditioned kindness towards complete strangers, the idea of a dog being driven by prejudice or denying a person on the basis of him being different or even deformed is ridiculous. They give – simply and truly.
There is a reason to why dogs are man’s best friend, I believe with all of my heart that a dog’s company is not only an assistance in a certain task or merely an anti-loneliness measure…
There is a lot to learn from the interaction with a dog, I think it actually can help develop kindness in human beings. For me, dogs have opened the door to feeling affection towards animals and from there to any other living creature.

Tomorrow I plan to be moving on to laos, thus thailand’s chapter ends…

Explanation of the title: When I arrived to chiang mai I settled in a guesthouse called “Same Same Guesthouse” and sent adam a message with the name because he was arriving a day later… It turned out there is more than one guesthouse with the same name… and so it was – not the same same same

a tout a l’heure mes amis,
moi.
