Jean-Paul started a journey, a world travel in 2003. It was for the adventure and I'd hoped some where along the way I would find some soul related answers. I followed the yellow brick road you could say, and I met many characters along it.... Some of them have even left messages on this website. You can too.
And the journey became longer than expected. You can see this in my Archives.
Yet somewhere along the way I lost that 'yellow brick road', but in essence I am still on that journey.
This website is about my travel, in all its aspects. A World travel with an Inner travel. The story of the walk.

[A Run for Laos]
Due to some obscure visa ruling I was denied a second entry on my visa. So after making that long journey to the Thai/Burmese border, instead of getting another 2 months stay in Thailand I got a mere 2 weeks. Cant imagine what kind of job satisfaction that may bring to these border guards, who after all, have the power at their discretion to be flexible, reasonable or NOT.
Its generally true that Thailand is relaxed and organised such that general living is easy- except for visas... Grrrr.
So a premature visa run to Laos as my work permit papers with the Chiang Mai University were not ready. Some luck was on my side as my Japanese friend was coming to stay with me for 2 weeks and she was to happy to make the trip with me to Vientiane. Its such a small town of a capital city that it took my friend 3 days before she realised that she was in fact in THE capital city of Laos!
And today (Monday 31st May) was my very first day of teaching in the University. Most of my classes start at 8am..! When I was a uni student I almost never went to my early morning classes or if I did I slept through most of them :-)
So infact I was the very fist University class the first year students had. So you can imagine they were not exactly throwing paper aeroplanes and chalk around the room, being all nervous and shy and all. As one of our senior English teachers said " I love the smell of fear in the morning... "
Got such a good feeling working here. Once I get that one year work permit in my passport...
