We are back from where we started 4 and 1/2 months ago - in the sweltering heat of Bangkok and going through our last day in South East Asia with mixed feelings.
Was it worth it? Definitely!
Are we happy to go back to Europe? Looking greatly forward!
Will we do this again? Cannot wait for our next destination!
Although in the land of the Buddha, we did not find Nirvana and we again have far more questions than answers. What we did find though is warm and smiling people, great friends, free spirits and little acts of kindness. We met people that had lost their illusions, but had kept their faith in the small person. We saw poverty, sickness and pain and we saw happiness, faith and thousands of little children and how little it sometimes takes to make a difference. We saw annoyed shopkeepers tired of stingy backpackers asking for discount and we saw boatmen looking forward to the next season when all the tourists will come back, because it means he will be able to support his family. We saw again, one cannot change the world, but can change someone else's life and we are developing some ideas about that and will let you know soon so stay with us.
Well we are off to the airport but if you are ever in Bangkok on the weekend you DEFINITELY have to go to the big Weekend market at Jatujak :))))
