4am Wake Up Call

A 200 year old Tamarind Tree shaded our village in Chiang Mai.  From Tokyo to Kyoto, from Tapei to Bangkok, and Chiang Mai onto Singapore... The Tamirand Village was a true standout.  Greeted with the traditional Thai greeting and a sweet warm honey tea, it was here that I  felt absolute tranquility.  Nearby was a Buddhist temple where the monks swooned the town at all hours with soothing ohms.  And by all hours, I do mean all hours-  they began at 4am.  And though occasionally it would awaken me, how could you be upset to awaken to such a holy harmony?
