Okay here’s the skivvy as it stands today. Wait a moment I just looked and it is taking me a bit over 3 hours to upload a 8MB file. Welcome to Isaan Y’all. Did you know here in Isaan you have to pay extra for “express” email service.
Thursday, tomorrow, the 22tooth of December I am heading back up to Wat Pa Kanchanaphiek to try to get some updates about the New Year retreat and to take some photos for you.
 Then I will continue to try to check out the Vipassana Center.
Today I stopped by the meditation center in Khon Kaen, it is Dhammacaiya and they have meditation every eveining at 6PM. They also have a retreat center near Phua Reua in Loei, that I will try to get more info about.
Then some of this and some of that till the 29th\30th when I will be at Wat Pa Ban Tad, for the 1 year anniversary of Luangta Maha Boowa death.
New years day I will photograph the observance in a small village, in contrast to this year’s New year morning in Khon Kaen.
Then back to Khon Kaen to finish the truck rehab and then off to Mukdahan and Ubon, finishing this seasons Mekhong River Survey.
That’s enough for now, I am making myself thirsty- Oh by the way be sure to follow me on twitter where you can see my #wordsofwisdom.
Merry Cristmas or whatever you celebrate and a happy New Year #1 for 2012
