    I've been in Chiang Mai now for a couple of days. Unfortunately, I couldn't organise myself quickly enough to get to the Lantern Festival...so Fran, you've partially filled the void with this lovely little vlog😊...It was almost like being there. Also, I appreciated your explanation of the deeper meaning of this ritual. I presume all those hanging lanterns (so ubiquitous throughout the city) are hand-made...can anyone clarify this for me?

    Google lies about travel time in the US, too, and gives us wrong directions occasionally. Sometimes, it's downright scary when Google gets you so lost. I now travel with an old school road atlas in the US because Google is unreliable in places and at times. On a more important note, you seem calm and peaceful, and it's wonderful hearing you say this has been a good experience for you. You look so rested and beautiful. I hope you continue to love it there, and that you heal from all that you've been through. I haven't dated or been in a relationship since Dec. 2016. I do not miss it, at all.

    I have been in CM for 14 years this is as they say a 100 year flood. Yes, the drainage system needs work but this flood is all about too much water coming down the river. Areas of the city flooded that no one has ever seen flooded. Typically the flooding has been localized due to a heavy rain storm the water gets high and after a few hours recedes and back to normal. There is no quick fix for this type of flood.
