Not leaving Chiang Mai…

Feb 28th, 2006 by Lillian

I’ve had a lot of night dreams lately. Last night I dreamt that I was in in Switzerland. We were unpacking our stuff and trying imagine how we’d fit everything into an apartment. It was a really beautiful apartment, we could see the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. But I wasn’t happy. I sat down, holding a sarong and cried. I just didn’t want to be in Switzerland. My kids knew what the matter was, they felt the same. Ph. didn’t say much. My sister-in-law told me to get over it. I’d had a couple of years in Thailand and now it was time to settle in Switzerland.
Can you imagine how happy I was to wake up to the humming of the fan, the sounds of a gecko in the hall and the birds singing and pigeons cooing? VERY Happy.

How long will you stay in Thailand?
My deadline is 2012. Still six years to go

The contrast between the two places must be quite dramatic … I’d like to know more about Thailand. Sweet dreams …

your dream was a nightmare Time will come, maybe, maybe not. I wish you a few more years there. And my question is, can you ever come back?

I had a dream like that recently that I found myself back in London and in my old job again and I just couldn’t believe I’d decided to go back and I felt so sad to be back there and not in Thailand anymore. It was a good eye opener for me to see how much I like my life here!
