The beginning of the end with some adventures thrown in

Dear Family and friends,

The past month has been a whirlwind--I got in a minor motorbike accident, I traveled to Northern Vietnam for a week (and came back with a stomach bug), went for my second to last time down south (to Koh Lanta) and have had a total of 5 visitors. And, last but not least, my last day of work is today, April 29th.

There have been 2 major Thai holidays (including the Thai New Year), which have given me a total of 4 days off from work this month. There have been nation-wide water fights (aka Songkran, which I experienced in the quaint beach town of Koh Lanta), anti-government protests that disrupted entire traffic patterns in Bangkok, and even Tiesto, the world's "most famous DJ" came by last week for an all-night rager.

In amidst of all this tumultuous activity, I've been preparing to wind down my Bangkok life and am getting ready to head home. With only half a suitcase full of personal belongings left and as my friends here also begin to trickle out, my return to the US is getting closer and closer. I am already so behind on my updates and blogging, but I will do my best to set things straight and good news, have finally acquired a working external hard drive so that I can upload photos again!

But, I digress, back to my impending departure. As many of you know, I would never leave without a big bang and so, tomorrow I'm headed off on a 17 adventure to India. I'm ecstatic and am anticipating great things. I'm going with 3 friends and our itinerary starts off in Calcutta, continues on to Darjeerling (taking the toy train, holla!), Varansi, Agra, Delhi, Jodhpur, Udaipur and then down south to Kerala before returing to Bangkok (with a 4 day stint in Penang, Malaysia first!).

Post-India adventure, I'll be back in Bangkok co-producing and co-directing one last play, Oleanna, before heading back to NY.

Keep eyes peeled for updates and photos.


Love
A
