Yoga and Luxury
This week has been filled with both. We decided to hang around Chiang Mai and take a Yoga intensive course. I definitely feel more centered and aligned and am hungry for more.

We have really felt honeymoonish by treating ourselves to the amazing luxury of a 5 star stay at Le Meridien Chiang Mai. I know, we could almost not believe it ourselves. Nothing much more to say about it than a slight upgrade from $8/night hostels.

This week has been interesting, as we had an hour long talk with a defected Syrian activist currently living in Sweden, and spent time with Chiang Mike - an EIE alum and human rights worker living here working with the Burmese community.

We are now off to a quiet hippy-artsy town called Pai an then on to a two-day stay with the Lisu HillTribe to learn their crafts and culture. I will write more next weekend from the Islands!

Shavua Tov.

Ok, yeah, sounds good. Anyone else mildly concerned about this?!?!?
