"....we are staying at the dusit thani in bangkok. in thai dusit thani means 'gifts of heaven to create heaven on earth'. i suppose then that the gifts of heaven are comfortable beds, silver tea trays with chicory flavored coffee, courteous, bowing, little men in funny little hats, tiered fountains full of coy fish, golden elephant statues, beautiful women playing exotic instruments and opulent bouquets of tropical flowers everywhere. perhaps in heaven everything is covered in ornate gold leaf. and if heaven on earth is a fragrant, beautiful soothing oasis in the midst of a chaos of smells, sounds, smog and sweating throngs then... yeah.
it's a long way from the palapas and jungles of costa rica but i take so much joy in unrolling my mat and doing yoga in the sky....."
