Went on a filed trip with the kiddos to Bangkok's Sampran Garden Riverside cultural centre, where we experienced Thai culture hands-on and watched an exhibition fight between a bo-wielder and a monkey-style martial artist.

It was humbling, you know, to be on the floor of this Sri Lankan family’s small, one-room home, being offered an endless amount of food and being treated like family. Humbling because, after coming back from the States, all my wife and I kept talking about was wanting to move to a newer, bigger place. We wanted things. Lusted, even. Meanwhile there are people like Mary’s family making the most of living in such a cramped space, unable to find work because they are refugees and thus not officially recognized by the Thai government. We visited them today, this family of four that my wife KC and I sponsor, bearing food and gifts. Instead it was they who offered what little they had to us.

What a cruel, unfair world. To be exiled from your home country for believing in something different. To not be able to step outside your doorstep without thinking that at any minute, authorities could come to arrest you for being an illegal alien. To not be able to trust the police who know that they could get bribe money by threatening to take you away.

Meanwhile here KC and I were, in our air conditioned apartment, perusing through an IKEA catalogue thinking of what unnecessary purchase to make next.

350/365. Saturday, 14 April.

Making pork red curry (kaeng gaeng moo) for lunch. We stayed indoors most of the day to get away from the scorching heat (it's 38 degrees again outside!) and to keep from getting soaked by our neighbours. It's the second day of Songkran.
