Greetings from Pai

I'm in the "reggae-hippie" Northern town of Pai, Thailand, up near the Myanmar (Burma) border, a town which has more dreadlocks per capita than any other place I've been in the world. .Gorgeous mountains and meandering river here. Unfortunately, it's burning season (burning the fields to prepare for planting). So the haze you see in the picture below is smoke, not pleasant for breathing, worst early morning and early evening.
The pictures here are complements of Jen from Winnipeg pictured below with Guilluome --- two great folks who I met in my December TEFL training program.
The woman here is grilling a black sticky rice pancake (similar to the Japanese "mochi"). After it's grilled, it's sprinkled with condensed milk and black sesame. Yum!
