Gone East, Back in 5

Monday, October 10, 2005

Right here, right now.


There is a twenty-something woman sitting in the internet booth beside me right now, and she is wearing clothes a few sizes too small. Her headset is on, the live camera too, and she is laughing and laughing and laughing at all the right times in a sultry and smoky way. I sneak a peak at her monitor, on which sits the image a of a pasty guy in dire need of a shave. His pixels look deep into her eyes. The picture is glitchy, but their emotions are not. Cyber-sparks are flying right here, right now, Chiang Mai, Thailand. A city full of love.

The real thrust of this post is to inform you I'm going trekking at tomorrow's break of dawn.

I'll be back in 5.

    You really are seeing the world in all it's glory - good, bad and indiffferent. Hope the trekking went well today, and remember never take life seriously - nobody gets out alive anyway!

    Also, Mark. I'll have a picture of "your" room shortly. Please tell us how the trekking went.
