Internet Cafe in Chiang Mai

Here I sit at an internet cafe.... at the next computer is a young monk in his saffron robes.... I am startled from my email writing when I suddenly hear a Thai song BLARING from seemingly nowhere.

From inside his robes the monk removes his phone and answers.

Ah, the juxtaposition of old and new can be seen everywhere.

Ah - juxtapositions can be quite delightful and amuzing. I'm reminded of exiting the 400 year old Ari mikvah in Tzfat, and standing next to a midget fellow in black garb and payus, busy chatting on a cell phone.

Tammy, thanks so much for sharing your journey. We'll be following! Love from Barak & Joe.
