Andy,
What a pleasure to follow you around. Thank you for being so straight and generous with your thoughts. I ran into your blog searching things about Bangkok and then found your accounts about Bangkok. Now I am folowing you wherever you go.
I was touched by this latest post. Talking about being a grain of sand and insignificant. How true this rings for me.
I was also touched by the account of people lacking simple ways to show respect etc. I am from germany, and I am particularily hungry for the simple signs of acknowledgemnt from people here in California where I live.
I think it is better to live with the kind of rigid mannors of a gentleman even often automatic than being around people who simply never got this kind of training to respect and acknowledge people around you.
I think that fomality makes life easier.
Andy just know that we do love you and your sharing of your thoughts.
Chris in California

Hitchhiking in Iraqu sounds too crazy and actually suicidal to me, but maybe there is something I do not know about how safe it is on the roads of Iraque. Hard to belive, but Ansy please let us know what you hear about this guys adventures.
My first reactin is to think that this guy is how we say in germany spinning "Sailors Yarn" which means in German "Seemann's Garn" spinnen.
This means a story to simply impress the listener. I am quite sceptical i guess.

This structure reminds me of a bomb shelter which Germany had many of. They are often built above ground. But they should normally be constructed in high density population areas.
This one definately looks like concrete and I never saw windmills constructed from concrete.

This could also be some kind of silo for storing grain or potatoes. Ther seems to be an acess at the top with a stairway on the outside, which silos often seem to have.
Who knows what this is.

I always find it necessary to distinguish the actions of people in the name of a religion from the religion itself. Religion was always used to justify all kinds of evil.
Religion alweays gets hikjacked to give legitimacy to all kinds of enterprise.
It is a very powerful justification because it will always speek to a lot of people.
