Thursday

There are times when you are walking around town and see such dirt and poverty and ugly, then all of a sudden walk past a garden or a temple or a riot of flowers that are so incredibly beautiful it just takes your breath away.

Anyway, thinking about ways to take what i'm learning here and find out something to do with it. It seems I have a bit of ability in this area. While I'm not super excited about only doing Thai massage, it makes me want to learn more about how to incorporate other alternative therapies. We'll see.

I'm fighting falling into the traveling hippy/massage student wardrobe - as in, asking myself "will I really wear this in real life?" And how many pairs of thai pants does a girl need? Or bags with sparkles (living in Korea has done nothing to curb my magpie tendencies - "Look! Shiny!!" -but at least I've been able to focus most of that. I bought the most incredibly embroidered patchwork tapestry. Okay, just reading that sounds like it is hideous, but really, it was so beautiful I almost hyperventilated when I saw it.
