A word is worth 1,000 pictures








Sorry, no pictures today because I did not take many on the beach at Hua Hin. However, while I was there I read an abridged version of the Ramayana, a classic Hindu epic about the hero Rama who goes through many trials and battles to win back his love Sita, who was stolen by an evil giant. In the end Sita is tricked into drawing a picture of the giant, which inflames Rama's jealousy, and he banishes her. Only Shiva's intervention reconciles them. Now I ask you, what kind of moral is that? Anyway, after finishing the Ramayana, I wrote this story on the train back to Bangkok. See y'all in legendary Chiang Mai tomorrow!
