Don't try to take me to a Disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In 10 minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock and roll

Hi yawares,

Yes, I'd love to see Thailand one day. So far I have only been to India, Nepal, and the Middle East, in the continent of Asia.

No, I prefer just tea, discussion, and meditation, too geeky I guess.

In my case, it might be more like 10 seconds I'll be late for the door.

Dear David,
Thai Classical Dance is NO DISCO...no need for you to be on the dance floor....just watch!

And very enjoyable and interesting. I could have stayed all day discussing more and more points of Dhamma .

If there are any Buddhists around the 3 counties (Herts, Beds & Bucks) in the UK, I'd love to meet some of you

Try Amaravati Buddhist Monastery just outside Hemel Hempstead.

Do you like my new hairstyle? I thought you looked good in the stair-climbing race so copied you (well you and another 10,000 men).

Yes there are friends in that room who flew in from Sri lanka, Australia, USA, and Hong kong as well as Vietnamese ( and Nina from Holland and me from the Middle east). Dhammafollower on this thread is in the photo too, sitting on floor. During the day Sujin would talk to a large group of Vietnamese monks and nuns and laypeople in a hall.

It's all great fun and all of the people there are pretty seasoned travelers, especially the Europeans. But then it's so easy these days to get on plane and arrive the next day in a new country.
Ivan, a Dhamma friend who died a couple of years ago in bangkok, told me when he first came to Thailand, circa 1971, he took a boat to Indonesia and island hopped all the way to Singapore before spending days in a train to get to Thailand (must have being worth it as he lived there for the rest of his life).

Let us know if you are planning to be in the east anytime and there is a good chance of meeting in one of the Asian countries-
