why are you going then?

hackabout_jones July 27 2005, 21:39:37 UTC

Because my grandmother is dying. :-(

That sucks. I'm sorry.

Well, last year was the first time I met her. At least she's been able to see all her grandchildren. Plus, she's in her 80s so she's had a very full life surrounded by her family.

Sorry to hear that you have to go to such a beautiful country under not so wonderful circumstances. =(

The country is beautiful when you don't have to see the poverty surrounding you.
I was in the top of a buddhist temple built in a mountain. They had this little overlook on the side and I could see all the rice paddies and workers several miles around. Then there was the view at the beach. OMG. Amazing. I fell in love with that beach.
