Revolving Doors




                    What’s past is past…
                 What the future Holds…
                 is yet to be discovered 
                       and embraced!

                    ---------------------

For those who have been following my musings 
over the past few years…you will be all too 
familiar (up to a point) about my comings and 
goings. If you’re new to my Blog then…I need 
to back up a bit so that you might better 
understand…where I’m coming from and what 
I hope will be forthcoming.

I started my Expat life and journey back in 
December 2005. This was when I took my first 
trip to Thailand. From the first moment I set 
foot on Thai soil…I new this place…steeped in 
its mystical ways…would have deep seated 
meaning(s) for me.

Once I arrived in Chiang Mai…I experienced a 
major epiphany and knew instantly…that this 
city…would be my new home. This all proved 
true as within a little over a year…I was a newly 
rooted resident of Chiang Mai.

I’m not going to delve into my past living 
experiences in Chiang Mai… as that would be 
redundant. I will say however that…I lived in 
Chiang Mai for almost three (3) years. But…
as life usually has unexpected surprises in 
store for all (or many) of us…and without 
rehashing what does not need to be re-
visited…I will tell you that my tenure in 
Thailand became somewhat…”abbreviated”.

After my departure from Thailand…as many of 
you know…I chose to take up residence in 
Cuenca, Ecuador.




















My past musings in Cuenca... can be found in 
their entirety by clicking on the this link…

I now present to you…
the next upcoming chapter of my life!
       
With the previous paragraph(s) 
out of the way…I now welcome you…
to my newest adventure in living and into…

My "Re-Expatriated" Life...in and around
            "The Rose of the North"
               Chiang Mai, Thailand




















Of course this will proceed hand-in-hand with 
whomever…whatever… and wherever…my 
continuing expat life leads me next.
So for now…a “Pre-Welcome” into my future 
musings. 
                       
I sincerely hope…you enjoy the ride with me 
as your guide. That said…maybe…my writings 
will awaken a “travelers quest” in you and just 
maybe…you’ll visit both me and Chiang Mai 
for yourself…in the not to distant future.

                      nonetheless…
      until my actual “new” Blog launch…
Sawadee Krup...which means Hello/Good-bye…
   (“Krup” for a male…”Ka” for a female)
     "See you already learned some Thai"

FYI…my new “upcoming” Blog address is:                          
Have a great day (มีวันที่ดี in Thai)

                 A Special Note…
       To my Cuencano Amigo’s 
                           y 
        North American Friends.

I have lived amongst you for about 15 (fifteen)
months and…have made many friends and 
acquaintances. Some have developed into real 
honest-to-goodness “highly-valued” friendships. 
For those (you know who you are) friends…
I sincerely hope that distance will not interfere 
with our relationships.

For those whom I consider “acquaintances”…
I truly hope that we can stay in-touch as…
I value whatever level of friendship has 
developed with each and every one of you.

Thankfully…technology makes contact quite 
easy…utilizing e-mails… FaceBook…SKYPE etc. 
and I hope [at least] some will take advantage 
of this.

So my friends…
I wish you happiness and well-being.
(Tan mis amigos…le deseo felicidad y 
bienestar.)

Once Again…FYI…my new Blog address

Ciao for Now…Barry
