Summer Meditation!

This summer I went to a meditation center for 10 days. I had a good time but it was hard. There were so many rules.

No Killing (not even an animal!)
No Stealing
No Lying
No Alcohol
No Dinner
No Speaking (This is called Noble Silence)
No Exercise
No Tobacco
No Sunbathing
No Outside Contacts (This means no letters, phone calls or visitors)
No Electronic Device (This means no cell phones, portable games or cameras)
No Music (This means no iPods, radios or Musical instruments)
No Reading and Writing (This means no books or notebooks)

There were so many rules. I tried to keep them all but I couldn`t. I broke one of the rules! I broke the rule "No Killing". I killed some ants.

The ants in Thailand are very strong and bite very hard. Many of them bit me and I jumped up and down. I didn@t want to but I stepped on some ants by mistake. Sorry ants....

Everyday I was so busy.

My Summer Was Good!!! BAD VIDEO MBK

I had a very nice summer vacation. I was very active but I could also take a good rest.

First, My wife and I went to London!

London is very interesting. We took so many photos!

But London is very expensive. Three nights in a hotel cost 222 Pounds (43,286 Yen).

The world's most expensive cities in 2008
1 London
2 Oslo
3 Dublin
4 Copenhagen
5 New York
6 Zurich
7 Geneva
8 Tokyo

London was also very dirty.

On the train many people throw their old papers everywhere.

The streets are also dirty.

The toilets were very dirty. We went to a KFC in London. We couldn't use the toilets because they were so dirty!

We could only stay in London for 3 nights and then we went to Ireland.

My parents live in Ireland.

The town where they live is called Killamery.

My parents live in the white house. We stayed there for three weeks. My wife met so many of my cousins, aunts, uncles, friends.....

My wife, Aye Mar, cooked Myanmar food for my mother, my aunt and my friends. They had never tried Myanmar food before. They were very happy!

Next we went to Bangkok. We stayed at a nice hotel. The Twin Towers Hotel.
It was only 1900 Bhat( 5,936 Yen) a night. And it is close to MBK. MBK is a great shopping center. We love it so much!

At MBK you can get real Thai food very cheaply. One dish costs around 100 Yen! There are so many choices. Wonderful!

My Wife`s friend from Myanmar came to Bangkok to meet us. We had a good time together. We stayed in bangkok for 10 days. Really I think this is a little too long. I was getting tired of Bangkok after one week.

Next we went to Phisanulok. This is a city in Thailand. It takes 6 hours by bus to get there. We went there to go to a meditation center. We did meditation for 10 days. It was very hard but I became very relaxed and happy.

In the end I think my summer holiday was very nice. I was very active but I could also fully relax.

My Summer Plan!!!

This summer my plan was to go to Ireland with my wife.

My parents live in Ireland. I got married last September and my Mother has never met my wife. I want them to meet very much. But TERRIBLE!!! It takes 8 weeks to get a visa for Ireland!!! It takes too long. I`m sad. I can`t go to Ireland. But maybe I can go to the UK.

With a visa for the UK, we can go to northern Ireland.

Maybe my mother can take a train to Northern Ireland from Southern Ireland and she can meet my wife. I hope so!!!

Arnold Pointer is a fisherman. Two years ago a female great white shark got caught in his fishing nets. He let the shark free. Since that time the shark is in love with him!

The shark`s name is "Cindy". Cindy follows Arnold all the time. Arnold can play with Cindy.

What a nice friend!

Bad Luck!!

An unlucky person drove his car into the water. Now he needs a crane to take the car out of the water!

The car is almost out of the water. Some people are watching.

Shock! The crane fell into the water!

How terrible!

They need to get a bigger crane to take the car and small crane out of the water.

But the big crane fell into the water too! How unlucky!!! I can`t believe it!

Bubaigawara is nice!!!

I like Bubaigawara very much!

Look at my house on www.Flashearth.com

I usually go to a small park near my house. It is very quiet and peaceful. Please don`t go there!!!

http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=35.656358&lon=139.475102&z=18.6&r=0&src=msl

I like to use a hammok in that park. I can relax....

It is also near Tama river. I like to go cycling here on a sunny day.
http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=35.652208&lon=139.480247&z=18.6&r=0&src=msl

I usually go to Fuchu for shopping. I can cycle to Fuchu in 15 minutes. So Bubaigawara is very convenient. Also Bubaigawara station is a Semi Special Express stop so many fast trains stop here. I can get to shinjuku in 25 minutes! GREAT!
