On the last night of songkran, Fr. Vinai took us out for dinner. Most of the scholastics were at the back of the pickup truck, and during songkran, that meant that you were ready to join the water splashing. we went around the main streets of chiang mai, and we were shouting "satnan!"--and as if on cue, the people on the streets or on other pickup trucks would throw water on us. we arrived at the restaurant all drenched and famished.

Am in Samphran, just outside of Bangkok, on a mission for LST and Mario Francisco... Am having a crash course on Thailand, on the relationship between her religion (Buddhism) and culture... So much to read and to converse about. Pitoyo, an Indonesian Jesuit teaching Philosophy at Saeng Tham (the theologate and philosophate of the Thai Church), has proven to be an invaluable source of information... Hope to share some of my insights when I get home on May 1 (but I leave for Culion the next day!!!). Cheers!
peace.............. :)
