| Introduction | I am a 24 year old Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand. I will be assisting Thai Primary English teachers with their curriculums as well as teaching some classes myself. I am just about as open as one can be about things. I feel that I have a lot more to discover about this life. Therefore I dedicate all my off-time essentially trying to understand and absorb every little detail about every little thing that goes on in this existence. It sucks being interested in everything, but I think it creates better awareness…and better awareness, according to the Buddha, is the path to Enlightenment. |
