a female would pretty much miss out on nothing. as far as i saw, women could go into all the watts etc. the only thing restricted for women was: a) women are not allowed to touch a monk nor allowed to either hand something directly to a monk or take something directly from a monk.
b) in certain watts the altar is placed on a platform that is about one step above the rest of the watt floor. *sometimes* women would not be allowed to walk up on the platform.
as far as i could tell, that was it. but i’m sure jamie would know better.
dude, i’m actually hatin’ it right now. i dont know what happened, but i took a nap in the afternoon, and woke up shaking uncontrollably cause i was sooooo cold. i asked erica and trent, but they *swear* that it’s actually very very hot inside. anyways, i piled on the layers, and they even turned on the heater for me… but i’m still sooooo freezing. i’m totally shivering. and i’ve drank like 6 cups of super hot tea as well. anyways, i definitely can’t go anywhere tonight. which hellza sucks, cause i was looking forward to going and *if* i was going to get sick, why couldnt it have happened during the work week instead of on the weekend.
Aw, now it’s really over. Poop.
The pictures were definitely inspirational.

$525 round trip to Bangkok…
Dude, how much of that stuff would a female have to miss out on? Could women just not go inside the temples, err watts, or was it more than that?

Oh, ok, cool! Guess I misunderstood when you were talking about that before. (duh!)
Has the jet lag eased up, I hope? (We’ll see you out tonight, right?)
