It's a pretty high-tech setup with 3 giant high-definition screens for video viewing and editing. We were meeting to finalize details on the shooting scipt and some last minute changes.
That's Mr. Sundar behind me. He's a very talented director, cinematographer and master camera-man who may help us with our little project.
We had a long and stormy story conference with lots of passion and black tea. Then it was time for the online radio talk.
After solving a number of world crises, I was just as tired as Milo the temple dog. It was time for a siesta.

In the afternoon, I felt like a little tourism. Sometimes I need to get out and see a bit of Thailand just to make sure I'm not still in Mexico. So we loaded up the hero wagon and went to the Sunday market for souvenirs. Last year we did the Hari nam Nagar street joy party here. Here's a few photos.
Here we are dancing and chanting in the streets, just like in the good old days in Los Angeles back in the 1970s before it all got too crazy.
Here we are celebrating our faith in downtown Chiang Mai at the Sunday Market. This is last December, before military law was declared.
Military law put an end to our weekly street-joy parade. People protested...
Today, the street market is still colorful, and a great place for tourist bargains. One can find most anything, from hand-crafted brassware...

And street musicians performing traditional Thai music.
Thai women in traditional costumes promoting tourism....But I was fascinated with the girls making crepes. How do they do it?

But without the Harinam street joy, the market seemed as empty as this Chinese Restaurant. I missed the happy days before martial law when we would fill the streets with joy and the sounds of the drum.
