Thailand, my new home away from home...

How could I not go to Thailand when its only 400.00 round trip to Bangkok... Hell yeah.. Winning.... One reason why I took the job in China just so I can travel. Thailand is beyond amazing. The place is beautiful and so peaceful. There I became centered and even closer to God. I went to Buddha temples where I just sat there and mediated. I'm actually Catholic but mediation has helped me TREMENDOUSLY. Just sit there and listen to my higher power's voice has led me to where I am. Not to mention parties in Bangkok are never ending. You meet people from all over the country and the food is delicious. The people are soo nice. They bow to you when they say hello, thank you and goodbye. You take your shoes off every time you walk inside somewhere. Def going to make a yearly trip. If you are going through anything and just need time to think and center yourself, Thailand is that place. After Bangkok, I went to Koh Phangan which is an island where the famous Full Moon party is. Its the biggest beach party in the world and occurs every full moon. Never see nothing like it. From working in the music industry for 5 years I've been to great parties but NOTHING like this. I partied until like 10 am. Everyone is happy and friendly. No fights, drama, etc.  On my last day I just stared at the beach and cried. It was tears of thankfulness. Honestly, I don't even really understand how a girl from Chicago that just a teacher has made it on the other side of the world. Actually, I do, God is making my steps, I'm just following them. Thailand changed my life.  Pictures are coming!!!
