Moving Between Worlds: From the same cloth
http://ronikrouzman.blogspot.com/2009/04/from-same-cloth.html
Adventures in the life of Roni Krouzman. Sunday, April 12, 2009. From the same cloth. About 6 months ago, when I was telling my therapist about the vision for this journey, I exclaimed emphatically, "I want to adventure and explore and test myself. I do NOT want to end of on a beach with some fucking Israelis! LOL I just spent 5 days with 2 awesome Israelis on an amazing Thai beach, and it's exactly what I wanted. We even sang Passover songs together! But there is also so much beauty in the culture I com...

Moving Between Worlds: Holy shit! The world's biggest water fight!
http://ronikrouzman.blogspot.com/2009/04/holy-shit-worlds-biggest-water-fight.html
Adventures in the life of Roni Krouzman. Sunday, April 12, 2009. The world's biggest water fight! I land in Bangkok today, and what a scene. The roads are quite empty, as I've been told people don't drive much here Sundays. Empty except for massive protests, and the tanks the government has called out, promising to use force if necessary. Oh boy. More to the point of this post, it's Thai New Year: Songkram, a 3 day celebration featuring parties, food, and.water fights! Oh my god. It was a madhouse! And t...

Moving Between Worlds: A Prayer for Thailand
http://ronikrouzman.blogspot.com/2009/04/prayer-for-thailand.html
Adventures in the life of Roni Krouzman. Monday, April 13, 2009. A Prayer for Thailand. As I looked at the Thais gazing with concern at a burning bus blocking an intersection today, I had a deju vu feeling, and my heart was filled with pain. I wanted to cry. Thailand please do not go down this path, I thought. Your neighbors have done it. You do not want to end up like them. You have it good. If you feel moved to, join me in this prayer. Yes, it's so sad to watch a beautiful culture and people fall prey ...

Adventures in the life of Roni Krouzman. Tuesday, April 14, 2009. When I was young I loved math. And I was a whiz. I remember 3rd grade, when I'd pretend to take a lot longer to finish a math quiz than I needed, to avoid the shame I felt at always being the first kid - by far - to hand in his test. In 6th grade I remember finding a solution to a math problem - a correct solution I bet - that the teacher just plain could not understand. All she could do was smile and nod. So I majored in political science...

Dulwich Boy: February 2009
http://dulwichboy.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
You can take the boy out of South London. Thursday, 26 February 2009. What lay ahead of us, as it turns out, was officially one of the top two rides in Vietnam, as determined by Jamie, a long-distance cyclist from Frisco we met on the way. See http:/ jamieinasia0809.blogspot.com/. Tuesday, 24 February 2009. It is a lovely antidote to the tourist mayhem in Nha Trang, and from wandering around the streets it seems travellers can be numbers in dozens, rather than hundreds. Thursday, 19 February 2009. I've b...

Moving Between Worlds: Battles in Bangkok
http://ronikrouzman.blogspot.com/2009/04/battles-in-bangkok.html
Adventures in the life of Roni Krouzman. Monday, April 13, 2009. My last night here in Asia. Can you believe it? Today was as fitting a day as ever to end it, a sort of Asia Redux featuring street food, meandering, interesting transportation options, fruit shakes, protests, government crackdowns, fires, a massive festival, cute girls, and very itchy, mosquito-bite ridden ankles. Plus of course the requisite pointing and laughing by the locals. Unfortunately the government called off the major celebration...

Moving Between Worlds: God that was/this is hard
http://ronikrouzman.blogspot.com/2009/04/god-that-wasthis-is-hard.html
Adventures in the life of Roni Krouzman. Sunday, April 12, 2009. God that was/this is hard. Look I should have greater calamities in life than having to leave tropical paradise. But it was still hard to leave Ton Sai beach today. Especially as two bombshell Italian stewardesses clad in revealing bikinis and sunbathing on my favorite little beachside bamboo platform on the planet were imploring me to stay, in their luscious accents. Yeah that was really hard. Home Wow. It's been 2 and a half months. I don...

Moving Between Worlds: Ton Sai Beach, Krabi, Thailand
http://ronikrouzman.blogspot.com/2009/04/ton-sai-beach-krabi-thailand.html
Adventures in the life of Roni Krouzman. Thursday, April 9, 2009. Ton Sai Beach, Krabi, Thailand. Hellloooo everyone. I've been on the internet for what feels like too long (an hour), so I'll keep it brief. I'm on a little slice of heaven here on this planet: Ton Sai beach, in Krabi province, Thailand, Andaman Coast. The beach is small, surrounded by stunning limestone cliffs clad in dense green jungle. I'm sleeping in a bamboo bungalow set back about 100 yards from the beach for $8.50 a night. Other tha...

Moving Between Worlds: March 2009
http://ronikrouzman.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Adventures in the life of Roni Krouzman. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Leaving Vietnam - and there's my Dad. As I sat in the park now, soaking up my last hour of Vietnam and watching some middle aged men play soccer, I thought of my father. I thought of how if he were here, he would have jumped right into that game with the glee and confidence of a 5 year old. He would have kicked ass, and the Vietnamese would have loved him! As well that my father is here with me. It's his spirit that emboldens me to join so...
