Sorry again for the lapse in making a post. This time, I have a decent reason... They confiscated my communication devices at the temple mediation center. I just stayed there for two nights. It was...ummm...interesting. That is the best way to put a positive spin on it. Other words might be: disorganized, weird or absurd. I arrived on Tuesday night and received about 20 minutes of training on the type of meditation they do there. Slightly different than what I'm used to. I then mediated for an a few hours, both walking and sitting. Yesterday, from 4 am until some time in the evening when my mind officially melted, I did about 10 or more hours of meditation, with very little supervision. Sometimes I was with a Thai meditation group, other times with another American and other times alone in some weird basement. The schedule was "interesting." Meaning that, if you are an international meditator, you might show up where they tell you and it isn't actually where you should be or there are no rooms for you to use. Things like that. Luckily, I could read most of the Thai schedule, so I was able to have some clue.

We were only allowed to eat two times a day. Not after noon. They didn't have vegetarian food at all, so I brought my own. Glad I did, since the portions for the other meditators were so meager, while the monks sat in front of us eating huge feasts, presumably telling us to not enjoy our food, but only register the action of tasting. Kind of laughable in many ways. I also witnessed a few people in authority at the center being pretty rude to the women meditators. I didn't really understand the entire interactions, but the only American woman there and a Thai woman confirmed that was the case and said it happened to them, too. These occurrances, combined with the fact that I had a roommate last night who snored like 20 elephants, caused me to seek the Buddha's 'middle path' and peace-out at my earliest convenience this morning. This also happened to be the earliest inconvenience for the monks, as I interrupted their breakfast, but so it goes. Also, as a weird aside, the one monk that was in charge of the instruction of International Meditators only wore glasses when speaking English.

This part of the trip didn't really live up to my expectations, but I still got a lot out of it. Sure, the amount of meditation and it's immediate mental effects were not ideal, but I feel like it opened my eyes to some aspects of Buddhism that I had not encountered or even pondered previously. Since, well, my only other experiences are in America, where I've been lucky to have excellent and patient teachers, who reciprocate my respect for them. This place that I just visited was more focused on dealing with personal/physical suffering and neutral mind than the converse of compassion and generosity. There was no mention of goodwill or loving-kindness in any of the teaching we received. Certainly, this is not always central to meditation, but even at meals and chanting (of which there was little of), everything seemed pretty joyless and stale. Perhaps this is a side effect of the ways of various teachers' methods clouding the original message of the Buddha, though I'm not sure. I am certain that none of my experiences of the last few days fit into the 'middle path' of Buddhism that I personally understand. I fail to see how unguided, yet still somehow authoritarian exploration of meditation is beneficial to anyone. A good teacher has been key to my success at mediation thus far, but there was no instruction in sight (wanted to write insight, as a joke....lol) at the meditation center. Definitely a disappointment, but not a waste of time. Like my first attempt at a Muay Thai gym here, I remain undeterred. Looking forward to retuning to the temple near my host family for chanting and meditation soon.

On the good side, after leaving the temple and taking a taxi home, D and J made me breakfast and also plans to visit a place called Buddha Mountain on Sunday. My friends here are seriously great. D also brought some extra food for me to the temple last night, despite the actual monsoon that was occurring. So awesome.

On the new friend front, Pat's sister took me out to lunch on Sunday with her friend, who is a photographer here in Bangkok. He lives super close to my host family and has since taken me to visit a ton of interesting temples. He grew up in Chinatown here, so he was an expert in that area. Since Sunday, he has taken me to no less than 7 temples. Some Chinese and some Thai. My favorite is Tien Fah, which is a temple dedicated to Kwan Yin in Chinatown. We were there just as Chinese language chanting was happening. It was beautiful, especially with bell accompaniment. It was also good to be with a friend familiar with Chinese and Thai customs, so I got full experiences at all the temples we visited. My new friend also took me to the flower market, the night market and a few other places. We are going to plan more trips soon. Everyone here has been so gracious, I cannot believe it! I am going to start repaying friends with English lessons at our next meetings, as all have expressed the difficulty in finding native speakers around here.

Since my last post, I've been busy...mostly riding buses around the city. At first, it was pretty excellent. Just looking out the window and actually being able to watch the world go by. Then I realized how bad the traffic here actually is. I am still trying to figure out how people get anywhere on time with the bus system. You either have to leave at 6 am, which I've done a few times and you end up at your destination really early. Or you give yourself twice as much time as you think you need and then you still end up being an hour late. Also, if you are the only person at the bus stop and you try to hail the bus, it will not stop, instead like 500 taxis, tuk-tuks and motorbikes will stop to ask you if you need a ride, which is obviously much more expensive and proportionality as dangerous.

Additionally, trying to cross the street, as earlier posted, is something that would make a Frogger champion's palms sweat. I have developed two rules for getting around town: always wait to cross the street and always wait at bus stops with Thai people. Otherwise, I feel that I would be in peril or waiting for longer that I already have been. (Mom, this is as joke, I am perfectly safe and covered in full-spectrum UV protective bubble-wrap.)

One cool thing about the bus is that music videos or 'actual reenactment' shows are shown on screens when you are in deep, soul-crushing traffic. I think I've seen a dramatic reenactment of some sort of toothbrush-related accident about 10 times so far. The volume is too low to understand what is happening, and I can't read the captions fast enough. Still, mildly amusing.

I have also received a few phone calls from host mom and D, which forced me to speak Thai on the bus. After the one call, the lady next to me actually talked to me, which seems like something people don't normally do. It was nice, she spoke to me in Thai, then we talked a bit in English. Still, speaking to strangers on the bus seems like taboo here. However, I don't blame people, since you might be sitting next to the person for an hour in traffic to go like 2 km and awkward silence is probably better that the equivalent time of awkward conversation.

Regardless, I finally have Wi-Fi on my devices. My friend Ying helped me find a pocket hotspot (get your mind out of the gutter). When we were trying to meet-up she refused to speak English with me on the phone (so I could learn), which was particularly 'helpful' when I was lost before and as a result of asking someone for directions. Additionally, my entire shopping experience in MBK Mall was in Thai. Proper respects to the patient sales-clerk at True phones store. Ying also took me out to dinner with her friend Sandy. It was great! I am hoping to see them both a lot more.

Yesterday, two of my friends from CMU took me out to lunch at Siam Paragon center. It was good to see them and very nice of them to meet me here, despite their lack of remaining time before returning to Pittsburgh in early August. I was late, but it was still really good to see my friends. I think we will meet again before they leave.

The Muay Thai gym is awesome. Fighting Spirit Gym rules. Straight-up. Great vibes and attitudes by the trainers, owner and others training there. No egos have been detected and people actually like to help. I have been working with a trainer named Awn. He is probably like 21 or so and his methods are pretty effective and simple. He asked me today how long I would be training there and has since ramped-up my conditioning and started correcting my techniques. Today was my fourth day. I've been going for 2 hours each day, because the proximity of the gym to my house is less than ideal. Still, it is a hard 2 hours. Usually 10-20 minutes of jumping rope, then 4 minute rounds of the following: 4 x heavy bag, 4 x pads, 3 - 4 x light sparring, then sit-ups and other cruel ab-work. It is awesome. This is what I get for telling my trainer that I'm never tired. He started chatting more and enjoys laughing at my mispronunciation of places in Thailand and other things. I think I'll probably be working with him most of time, which is fine by me.

Yesterday, I wondered around the National Stadium area and find the Action Zone Muay Thai shop. As advertised, it rules. Got some shorts, that I had to exchange for a smaller size and a few t-shirts, too. Good prices and selection. I went back with a friend from the gym today, and he scored some cool stuff. We ate lunch after at Siam Center, which was pretty decent. Kind of bummed that tomorrow is my friend's last day at the gym, but I think we'll hang for a bit after morning training tomorrow.

Finally, on my travels yesterday, I found a pretty interesting temple, that was seemingly a mix of Thai and Chinese Buddhism. I was invited in to look around and 'wai pra' by some random guy and was taking some photos when the monk of the temple began ringing the bell to close-up for the evening. It was pretty interesting to witness. The monk invited me into the inner part of the temple gates while he finished, so I could take some photos and pay respects. Watching a lone monk in the shrine area was a bit eerie in the waning evening light, but a nice moment to preclude the bus ride home.

This leads to my next set of observations. Buddhism, spirit-belief and daily life in Thailand are all the same thing. I mean, I've read about it before, but experiencing it is totally different. Every house, every block, every neighborhood has objects/spaces reflecting some type of spirituality or supernatural association. Buddha images are everywhere, spirit-houses, to provide shelter and offerings to homeless ghosts, and shrines dedicated to Hindu or local gods get daily attention from a huge portion of the population. It is a pretty amazing contrast to how people are actually living their lives in Bangkok's noise, pollution and traffic. I am excited to experience life at a temple next week, but in the meantime, the sheer amount of spiritual interaction that I have witnessed in a given day is staggering.

To follow-up my last post, the owner of the company invited me back to take photos of his Buddha collection. I was instructed to ask for permission from the Buddha and other images to take their photos, then I could proceed. The collection is amazing. Truly beautiful and well cared-for. I hope to go back and spend some more time there. The entire place, despite the standard Thai florescent lighting, feels comfortable in a really unexplainable way. On the way to the bus this morning at 6 am, the owner invited me to help he and some employees give food to the monks that walk each morning, exchanging food and other goods for blessings and teachings . It made me feel pretty grounded, actually. I hope to help again. Since my bus to the gym leaves around that time each day, that shouldn't be a problem.

ขี้เกียจเขียน

ขอโทษครับ ดังแต่ 2 ว้นที่แล้วแอนดี้ยุ่งมากๆ ตอนวันอาทิตย์ผมเจอเพี่อนของครอบครัว เขาใจดีมากๆ เขาพุทแค่ภาษาไทยแต่เข้าใจมากๆ เขาพาแอนดี้ไปเที่ยววัดระฆังและยิมมวยไทยครับ ที่วัดนั้นมีคนเยอะแต่ชอบมากเพราะว่าเสียงของระฆังสวยๆ ไม่ชอบยิมเลยครับ เมื่อวานผมมั่งรถบัสไปสีลมเพือหายิมอืน แอนดี้ชอบนั่งรถบัสเพรอะว่าเห็นที่เที่ยวเยอะๆ วันนี้แอนดี้ไป Fighting Spirit Gym ฝึกมวยครับ ชอบมากๆนะครับ มั่งรถบัสไปยิมนานมาก แอนดี้ถึงยิมสายนิดหน่อยแต่ไม่เป็นไร ตื่นเตินไปยิมพรุงนี้

The past few days have been insane. I can't really put into words some of the amazing/unplanned things that have happened on trip so far. On Sunday, a friend of family I am staying with joined me for lunch and then took me in a cab to see Wat Rakang, which means Temple of the Bells. It was so crowded with people and the sound of bells, that it almost reached sensory overload. However, like my previous trips, amounts the chaos, there was some semblance of underlying peace.

After that, my new friend D and the taxi driver took me to see a gym I wanted to train at. They let me train a bit when I got there and after the session, I realized that the gym was a bust. Not into it at all. Regardless, my new friend is awesome and I've seen her a times since, as she is older and generally concerned for my well-being in a motherly kind of way. At this point I should mention that she speaks very little English and our interactions are entirely in Thai. The weird thing is, is that this has forced me to actually think in Thai, since I can't translate in my head now at all, or I don't know what's happening. D is super patient when I don't understand and is all around an excellent accidental teacher. She has also introduced me to some of her friends as her 'son,' which causes some laughter from all parties. I also met another one of her friends, named J for the purposes of my writing, that is more or less completely fluent in English and learned simply by working with English speakers, have never taken a class or formal lesson. Amazing. I hope I can talk to her more about it.

Yesterday, I took the bus to Silom to find Fighting Spirit Gym and it was a cool experience. I got to see a lot of the city and found the gym with no problem, though I had to ask for directions a few times. It is actually located inside an old Chinese Cemetery, when is pretty insane when I really think about it. I'll take some photos tomorrow. I then took the bus home, after accidentally finding the right stop. All told, I spent less than one dollar to ride both ways. The night was finished with some host family-related activities and an accidental 9 hours of sleep.

Today was one for the ages. I woke up and ran and then hung out until leaving for the gym around 12:30 pm. Like most well-planned things, a wrench got thrown into the gears. However, this was a pretty amazing wrench. I saw D and J before getting on the bus, since they both work near the bus stop as food vendors. They gave me some food and beverages, and then D decided to introduce me to the owner of the building they vend in front of. He is a tycoon in some sort of rare metals business and invited me to see his personal shrine of Buddha statutes and ephemera of Thailand's history. It was completely insane. A collection that actually puts most museums and Buddhist temples to shame. He even pulled an employee who speaks English into our tour, so I could understand everything he was telling me. I 'waied' at most of the altars and then told him I was going to practice Muay Thai, when I think made him like me more. In fact, he invited me back tomorrow to meditate there as well as take photos of the collection. So stoked. Before I left, he showed me a security camera that apparently detects supernatural beings that protect his collection and building, which, honestly, I might believe myself, since the camera was moving in really weird ways. Finally, he told my friend D that if I ever need help in Thailand or come across any problems, to call him and he'll help me. At this point, I actually believe in the invisible protectors that his camera is finding, because I have so many people looking out for me here. It is awesome.

After this, D made sure I got on the bus safely and I ended up getting to the gym later than planned, but it wasn't a big deal. The gym ruled and the vibe is chill and great. The trainers were all really good and knew when to push and when to work on skill. I will be returning tomorrow, for sure. I gotta go to sleep now as writing the part in Thai was a bit time consuming. It post more about the gym and hopefully my next excursion to the secret shrine tomorrow.

Pictured below: A shot of Wat Rakang and the laundry detergent that I need to buy tomorrow. I cannot, for the life of me, read that font on it. It does not say 'USA' even though I keep thinking that.

P.s. - Thai Mom #1 is a wonderful cook and is going to teach me about gardening in Thailand soon.
P.p.s. - In Thailand there are no traffic laws and toilet paper is used everywhere except where one would think it is used.

วัดโพธิ์และวัดพระแก้ว

เมือวันนี้คุณแม่พาแอนดี้ไปเที่ยววัดโพธิ์และวัดพระแก้วครับ ทั้งสองวัดสวยมากๆ ที่วัดโพธิ์แอนดี้ซื้อตอกไม้เพื่อเราจะไหว้พระที่วัดครับ ที่วัดพระแก้วเรวนั้งสมาธิครับ ตอนนั้นรู้สึกใจเย็นและหัวใจเงียบมาก ชอบมากๆครับ แอนดี้ถ่ายรูปเยอะๆแต่อยากจะไปเที่ยวทั้งสองวัดอีกทีนะครับ วันนี่ผมดื่นนอนแต่เช้า หลังจากนั้นไปวิ่งและกระโดดเชือก อากาศที่ที้ดีมากครับ ไม่ร้อนแต่ชื้นนิดหน่อย ชอบมากครับ

Yesterday, Salisa's mom brought me to visit Wat Pho (with the giant Recalling Buddha) and Wat Pra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), as well as a quick jaunt past the Royal Palace, due to some heavy rains for a few minutes. Both temples were amazing. Despite the opulent and ornate appearance, their beauty was somehow transcendent of the mere visual realm. They are places of peace and serenity, even in the face of large crowds. At the direction of my friend's mom, I bought some flowers so we could both make offerings at the various shrines along our travels. Each of the temples houses many different shrines with places to 'wai pra,' or make offerings to the Buddha. Wat Pra Kaew was the more ornate of the two, with 'yaks,' or giants, guarding all the entrances. The Thai epic the Ramakien is also depicted, along with many image of Hanuman in the form of murals throughout the temple. The eaves of all the buildings have bells hung from them. Since we were graced with a slight breeze yesterday, our mediation in the main temple was accompanied by an ethereal chorus of ringing. I want to go back again before I leave! Pictured in this post are a view of me at the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho and a 'yak' and roofline of Wat Pra Kaew.

I went running last night and this morning to get ready to start training tomorrow. I am excited. While running near my friend's house, I met some neighbors and they talked to me about Muay Thai for a bit and complimented my speaking in Thai, though there were points where I was pretty clueless, it was a small victory.

Also, Salisa's mom is an excellent cook. Last night, she made me some delicious vegetarian dishes. So great! I also tried taro ice cream. I will try it again, too :)

ถึงกรุงเทพแล้ว

เมื่อคืนนี้แอนดี้ถึงกรุงเทพครับ Flight จาก Beijing ออกจากสายเพราะว่าอากอศเสีย เมื่อวานนี้บนflight ผมเจอคนที่น่าสนใจครับ จาก Chicago ถึง Beijing เจอวาณิชคน Philippine และบน flight จาก Beijing เจอผู้ชายเกษียณที่มาจาก Philadelphia แต่ตอนนี้อยู่ที่กรุงเทพ ที่สนามบินกรุงเทพคุมแน่และน้องชายเพื่อนไปรับแอนดี้ ผมดีใจมากๆเจอพวกเขาครับ หลังจากนั้นพวกเขาพาแอนดี้ทานอาหารที่ร้าน Foodland เพราะว่าตอนดึกและหลายร้านปิดแลวครับ อาหารอร่อยมากๆ ผมทานพัดไทยถ่ายรูปครับ ครอบครัวเพื่อนใจดีมากๆและบ้านเพื่อนน่าอยู่มากครับ

The trip yesterday was pretty brutal, no thanks to Beijing. I met some interesting people on the plane, including a businessman from the Philippines, who lives in the States now, and a retiree from Philly, who lives in Bangkok now. I also ate three vegetarian meals of Indian food on the flights which were surprisingly pretty tasty. I arrived late in Bangkok and had no issues with customs. My friend's mom and younger brother picked me up and immediately took me out to eat. I was so happy to see them!  We went to a place called Foodland, which is like a 24-hour grocery store with a diner inside. I ate Pad Thai, which was really good (see photo)...better than some restaurants in the USA. Then my friend's mom bought some food and other things for me for my stay. My Thai speaking was good enough that I could communicate with some workers in the store to get shaving cream that was locked-up. I was definitely stoked. After that, we arrived at my friend's house and I met her father, who was also super nice. Finally, I Skyped with my parents, showered and went to sleep, since I think I only slept 2 hours on the flights yesterday. Woke up early this morning, feeling good!

อยู่ที่ Chicago

Flight ที่แรกดีๆครับ แอนดี้มีที่นั่งใกล้ที่หน้าต่างครับ ตอนเข้าใกล้ chicago มองเห็น Lake Michigan และ Wrigley Field วันนี้อากาศที่นี้ดีมากๆครอบ เมือง Chicago คูสวยมากๆ แอนดี้ต้องรอ 2 ชั่วโมงออกจากครับ มีคนหลายคนก็กำลังรอ คิดว่าเครื่องบินใหญ่มากๆครับ ตอนนี้แอนดี้ไม่ตื่นเต้นมากแต่รู้สุกใจเย็นครับ ใน post นี่มีรูปแสดงลูกไข่และแม่ขดง Pat

I am in Chicago right now. On the way in, Lake Michigan looked amazing. Perfect weather today, too. I wanted to type more, but I've been talking to a really interesting French-Canadian carpenter for the last hour. His wife is in Beijing and he is going to visit her because she can't move to Canada yet. He showed me a ton of pictures of fishing, his work and some beautiful places in China. Hope things work out for he and his wife. I'll wrap this up with an unrelated photo of when I was running yesterday and saw Pat and her mom.

p.s. - I had to publish this from Bangkok, due to an all-around miserable travel experience in Beijing.

ออกจาก Pittsburgh

ตอนนี้แอนดี้รอที่สนามบิน pittsburgh ครับ flight ที่แรกจะไป chicago จากที่นั้นจะไป beijing ในที่สุดจะไปกรุงเทพครับ แอนดี้จะถึงเมืองไทยพรุ่งนี่เย็น ตื่นเต้นเจอคุณแม่อีกทีครับ เขาใจดีมากๆ แอนดี้เสียใจนิดหน่อยเพราะว่าตองฝากไลก้า แต่นัมจะพักที่บ้านเพื่อนครับ ผมจะคิดถึงไลก้าแต่คิดว่านัมจะมีลาหยุดพักดีมากกับเพื่อนและหมาของเพื่อนครับ

I am waiting at the Pittsburgh Airport for my first flight to Chicago, then on to Beijing and finally to Bangkok. I will arrive tomorrow night. I am excited to meet my friend's mom again. She is really nice and has some great things planned for us to do. I am bummed about leaving Laika, but she is in great hands/paws with my friends and and their pack of lovable hounds. I'll miss Laika, but I think she is going to have a great vacation. I'll try to write more on the flight to Chicago, which is probably boarding pretty soon.

สวัสดีครับ

สวัสดีครับ ผมชื่อแอนดี้ หวังว่าใช้บล็อกนี้เพื่อฝึกเขียนภาษาไทยครับ แอนดี้เรียนภาษาไทยประมาณ 2 ปีครึ่งแล้ว แต่เขียนและอ่านแค่ 1 ปี เดือนนี้จะไปเทียวเมืองไทยครั้งแรกนะครับ ตื่นเต้นมากๆ ตอนผมอยุ่ที่เมืองไทยอยากจะเขียนเกี่ยวกับเดินทางและการฝึกมวยไทยครับ

Hi! My name is Andy. I study Thai language with my friend Salisa, two great online teachers Kru Mod and Kru Pear (learnthaiwithmod.com) and some other friends. I have studied for about 2.5 years, but in the last year or so just started reading and writing. With the help of all my Thai friends and Aajaan Piya and Aajaan Sayan at Wat Thai Pittsburgh, I’ve also learned a ton about Buddhism and Thai culture over the past several years. Next week, I will travel to Thailand for the first time and spend a month with Salisa’s family. Her mother has graciously offered to host me and also be my tour guide. I hope to visit many other friends in Bangkok and keep a blog of photos and activities. I will be training Muay Thai daily, but have many other adventures planned. Please feel free to comment on my posts or correct my mistakes in Thai writing.

เจอกันนะครับ
