Day 6, Vipassana meditation.

Do Thai people ever get sick of eating rice every day????

Why is it, that when I’m on the ‘outside,’ in a guesthouse or campground or whatever, people are completely unfriendly and don’t even say hello yet alone talk to me, and then in here, where you are supposed to be taking this oath of silence, that the foreigners keep trying to make eye contact or corner me so they can talk?? So far I have avoided all of them, ha ha ha ha!

Meditation check:

Mind: strong, calm, very calm

Breath: calm, good

Body: still there

Ant status: Ants rule this monestary, no doubt about it. They’ve got troops everywhere. There is at least one ant crawling on me at any given time during the day. I won’t surrender the toilet though – it gets a good sprinkle of prickly heat powder 2X/day (keeps ants away). I am starting to think they are here solely to test one’s sanity.
