The Outsiders
(people you need to push out of your sacred circle)
(May 31, 2019) The world is full of magnificent lives that have enriched my life - fascinating people who make up my peoplescape as I cover ground in my travels. As a general rule, everyone is a friend I haven't met yet. But inevitably, I also come across those who need to be pushed out of my sacred space to keep my peace and bliss...more »»
Fascinating Peoplescape of Chiang Mai II
(May 22, 2019) Chiang Mai's peoplescape continues to be shaped by people who come in and out of Chiang Mai, much like a revolving door. As old people leave, new ones come in, painting a vibrant picture of this wonderful place many call home.....more »»

Movie Review: Avengers: Endgame (2019)
(May 14, 2019) The saga continues between the Avengers and Thanos' together with his/ rogues gallery. This movie is an all-star cast. Any super hero or villain worth his salt is here. I would even speculate that they were inspired by Game of Thrones. There were a few emotional tugs and pulls but the main draw was the loss of an iconic hero. Who? Watch the movie!....more »»
Movie Review: Arctic (2018)
(May 13, 2019) Arctic is such an under-rated movie that has come in the shadow of the block buster Avenger movie. But this movie was so intense from start to finish. It felt like a torsional twist that kept getting wound-up tighter and tighter unrelentingly as the movie played out. You have to see this!....more »»
Abs Yoga by Gigit

Kundalini and Vinyasa Yoga with Nicola Symons
(May 10, 2019) Odd, but I only attended 2 classes by Nicola - Kundalini and Vinyasa. But those were enough to leave a lingering impression that reminded me of the rock star yoga teachers in Ubud, Bali. No, it's not about Hollywood but being up in your game to command the stage and be globally in demand.....more »»
Secret Sunrise Interactive Dance
(May 9, 2019) Secret Sunrise is an outdoor interactive dance where people wear headphones while a DJ guides them through the session as the music plays.

(May 8, 2019) Tok Sen is an unusual massage Thai practice that uses a wooden hammer and wedge from the tamarind tree. The wedge is rhythmically tapped into energy lines of the body (Sen lines) to promode healing and restoration. I had such therapy from Ying who has been doing this for over 10 years.....more »»
