This is the first real post here in my new blog.

The day started fine, got out of bed at 15.30

Got a good breakfast and went back to sleep, woke up again, took a shower and went down to a small restaurant located a few blocks away. Pad Thai and ice water. Really good and spicy, finished with a blueberry smoothie at a cafe few blocks away.

Yesterday night put my stomach out of order, had to sit most of the night on the toilet. But what the hell, you get used at most things in life. I'm happy as long as I do not have a fever, chills or any other crap that requires medical attention.

I have lived a nomadic lifestyle like in 29 years, and the last two years as a real nomad, "31 years". The difference is. If you have a fixed point in the country you live, that is an address you can return to. Then it's just a lifestyle. If you do not have a home and moving around in the world or large part of it. Well then, you are a real nomad. A nomad lives and works where one puts down her things. In my case, I try to find a place to stay for 3 months at a time. A visa usually allow it. But for me, I can stay a little everywhere in the world from 90 to 180 days without a visa. In Europe, I do not really need to care about this. But it will probably be a while before I return there.

Before I came to Chiang Mai, I lived in Bangkok for 6 months and Kuala Lumpur 1 month. On the way to Chiang Mai became Krabbi and a secret place where many artists tend to hide. And before I fell down in Asia as I slid around in europe, as usual,...

I writing a list of cities and countries I've been in my life. A completely impossible task. Coming soon to present the last two years, the list of cities and countries.

Today was Sunday Market, as every Sunday.

This is a night market here in Chiang Mai. Absolutely wonderful. They shut down a large part of the old city center and all go out and sell their stuff. The music is very important. Blind and disabled people sitting on the streets of the part and plays. The disabled take their legitimate place. No begging, just hard work. It plays basically uninterrupted throughout the market over time. People also give them the money they need, good to see.

I bought two gifts for my wonderful mother, it probably costs more to send things than what I paid for them. Sorry, can not say what I bought, my sisters talk too much. But I bought a nice piece of jewelry for myself, it does not happen very often.

Now it will be some tea and rest.

Glad you took the time to read.

Please ask about things, I will try to answer as best I can.
