Dr. Fish Spa

video
Sometime this summer I watched the Samantha Brown Thailand Travel Special and in it she sank her feet/legs into a fish tank, and these little fish nibbled on her feet. I was quite tired after 5 hours at Dusit Zoo and sat down thinking about this and whether not it would relax my tired feets. I turned my hear to the right and there was Dr. Fish Spa. I paid 30 baht for 15 minutes of this. It feels you are being tickled and also pinched occassionally. I don't know if my feet were any smoother but I definitely felt relaxed...probably because I sat for an extended period of time the first time that day. Quite the experience though!

"Did you put toilet paper in your ear?"

Image
Apparently, when I was a child I never had ear infections. Never. Which is what makes this that much more fun!

I arrived in Thailand/on Koh Tao June 6th. I went on my failed scuba diving adventure June 8th. I did a few skills and was probably only 2 meters under water for a total of 8 minutes. June 9th my left ear felt a bit stuffed and I had a teeny bit of pain. I asked Astrid to drop some Tea tree oil in there and the next day the pain was gone but my hearing was still muffled.

The muffled hearing continued until June 15th when I woke up and equalizing (just from yawning) was quite painful in addition to the muffled sounds. And so I went to the Ban Chalok clinic across the street from my Tropicana resort. Nok, the wonderful nurse there, checked my ear and said "Oh yes, you have a big infection." She asked me to equalize and said, "Yes, when you equalize your ear drum shouldn't move, but yours is moving...your ear is really swollen inside so I can hardly see your …

The Oldest and Biggest Banyan Tree in Thailand!

Image
Yes, I am dedicating a whole post to a tree. What a wonderfully magical tree it is, though! The little park is called Sai-Ngarm, meaning either 'Sweeping Banyans" or "Beautiful Banyan". The Banyan Tree in this park covers an area of over 35,000 square feet and more than 350 years old. And yes, there are 3 videos BUT it's like a mystery that I needed to solve because it was very hard to figure out which was the original tree that 'gave birth' to all of these other treelike branches!...and I'd been traveling alone for almost a month, missing my friends, so I became really close with my camera on this day. (This one's for Lindsey, who showed me branches in a different light.)











Stop calling it "bunion" tree!!!







Mystery solved!!

Long Weekend Exploring Atlanta, Georgia

Image
This past February I took a long weekend trip to visit my sweet friends Sarah & Mike just outside of Atlanta, Georgia in Marietta. 75 degree weather and flowers blooming in February combined with cheap rent and friendly folks? I'll take it! It was a packed few days filled with catching up at all kinds of restaurants, getting our awareness and knowledge on at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, being completely stunned and awed by the beauty at the Georgia Aquarium, and then recording some tunes. Many, many moons ago when we were 19, Mike and I were briefly in a band together! We often exchange music these days and collaborate every few years to record some music. It was an all-around great trip and I wanted to share the highlights and including one of the songs we recorded. Check the song first and the photos follow.




When the social worker friend comes to town you know some education has to happen! It was a tough call between the National Center for Civil and Human…
