South East Asia

After arriving in Thailand it was a trip to the orphanage for a few days. A flight could not be made to another city due to a festival having booked all availiable seats so a 6 hr overnight bus trip followed by a 12hr train trip to the next conference. Another city and another orphanage for a few days. Two weeks have now passed and two more to go. I've had one phone call from my wife as emails have been blocked by the government. How did the people of last century cope when mail took months to get through.
