A very belated by much-owed salut to my writing habitat for the month of November 2014. I’ve decided to use NaNoWriMo as a place-marker to
display my dwellings at that time, wherever I may be in the world.
In November 2013, I was living in a large, freezing cold house inthe mountains of rural Japan. This year I am in an air-conditioned studio
apartment off of a bustling street in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The two places
could not be more different. In Japan, I had to drive everywhere. It was a
five-minute drive just to the nearest convenience store. In Thailand I can get
everything I need within a five-minute walk. When I was typing this post last
November, I was wearing my sweater and winter coat indoors (my huge wooden
house had inadequate heating). This year, actually, at this moment, I'm wearing
shorts and a tank top and the AC is turned up to full blast.
Last year, I had to make that house home for a year, and this year my studio will only be my refuge for one month.

Quite comfortable accommodation for life and work. I love the hot climate and therefore Thailand is the place I would like to be born. But I was born in Chicago, and the journey became part of my way of life. When I was last in Chiang Mai, my friends and I rented an apartment similar to yours but it was 2 rooms.
ReplyDeleteAnd the scooter for rent I found in the Cat Motors service http://catmotors.net/, it made my move to the city convenient and I didn't depend on public transport. I should say I had a good rest and even had time to work a bit.
Nice acomodation..
