JANATA HOUSING in which 100 homes were destroyed on Monday by fire. This is Alice and Dustin. We were here at the invitation of the lady who does cleaning and cooking at Dustin’s office. She invited us for a meal, and to meet her family. Her sister’s house was also destroyed. Her house was one that was destroyed!
ROZI – Alice’s Bangla language tutor. We are actually leaving with her for 5 day over the Easter Holiday to spend time in her village with her and her husband. She want’s Alice to teach her some American cooking in the morning while I go out and about with her husband. In the afternoon is rest time and then every evening we will visit in different homes. I am looking forward the the many Bengali curries that will likely await us. Several weeks ago they were without power and water for 30 hours. We’re fortunate it only goes off here for an hour every other hour during the hot days!
BEGGING One of the older lady beggars I frequently give taka to. I wonder if the economy has hit her?

CHIANG MAI LADY
LADY AT BANGKOK TRAIN STATION
One of many people waiting for the trains to leave. There were no sleeper berths available so we took the over-night bus to Chiang Mai.
Only 300 days left in 2009! Make the best of it.
