i am glad that you shared all that. about six years ago i moved to france (i lived there for two) and while my experience was not nearly as harrowing as yours, nor the suffering & poverty of people so painfully obvious, i felt that too. i was technically an illegal alien there & "poor".. but treated so much better than those in pretty much the same circumstances as myself arriving from africa or the middle east (as opposed to the US!). i feel embarassed about that a lot. people ask me what it was like to live in france & probably imagine it was romanitic & adventurous or whatever. but it was so painful too. some of the things i went through, but mostly things i saw happen to others. ugh sorry to go off on a tangent!! but i am really glad you wrote about this. i kept a journal while i was in france but i haven't been able to read it since then, or begin dealing with the things i went through there. the longer you wait, i think it gets harder! all the things i want to forget, i know it is really important that i don't.

I know exactly what you are talking about..I lived in Italy and I felt the same way. Just because it was Europe doesn't mean it wasn't as frustrating in it's own ways. Have you thought about using your journal to write a book or novella?

This whole thai experiance has helped you grow in so many ways. You seem so much more solid since you have come back.
