Still Going, and Back for a While

Well, I've crossed from North Thailand to Guangzhou, just above Hong Kong. I'm flying back to England on 14th March. Only for three weeks; don't worry, I'm still on the search for simplicity and Nirvanah.

I'm actually going up to take the Buddhist Precepts formally (Jukai) at Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey in North England, while I wait for a new passport. I'll also sell the absolute last of my possessions, change my name by deed poll and hopefully be back there the start of April. I thought I'd put up a couple of recent pics.



This was the view from my room in Dali, China, north of where I entered.



Don't worry, I'm eating well. This was a simple eggplant dish. Goddam ambrosia.



This is on the way to foreigner street in Yangshou. I was back there about ten months ago; very nice to get back, and of course a lot of people remembered me.

All the pictures are here (Google album)...

Not sure if I'll be able to post while I'm in Europe. Maybe I'll find Nirvana while in the temple and can come back with perfect wisdom? Either way, please be lucky in your own searches for freedom and contentment. I'll post more answers as my life uncovers them.
