And so it is Christmas, and this is what I have done

And so it is Christmas...and my love to all.

I met a lovley Austlaian Peter at a beach cafe and he invited me to a brunch he was hosting for 25 people at a luxury resport. So there I was with a Rockefeller, a new freind from Nigera, people from Korea, India, Canada, Singapor, New Deli, London & me the American. Peter runs the other gay villa in town and he also invoted his entire staff to this holiday brunch. We aere sitting in an outdoor patio facing a rice patti filed ( a truely beautiful site, give me a new appreciation for rice) and a cliff toward the ocean. The tables were done in red, white & gold and it was all very elegant. We had one fo those food buffets that you see on a cruise ship and I broke down and eat a pice of meat for the first time. Come people it was roast beef what was i tp do. It turns out the Rockeffeler his name is Scott was teh first opebly gay person in an administration...Nixon of all people. Anyway he has written a ton of books and apparently has an amaziing Villa in the jungle. I am going there for a Boxing Day luncheon tomorrow. I already have three invitaions for New Years Eve, one of them being a no clothing pool party.

After brunch I went to tyhe beach and had an amazing massage for $5 American Dollars. The message is right on the beach you face the ocean. My freind from North Korea met me for a sunset dinner. We want back to trhe hotel for a swim and to sit in the steamroom for an endless amount of time. Anyway this was my totaly odd and unexpected Christmas.

It is amazing to partake in political conversations here becasue there is such a different perspective and it gets very heated. The funny thing is as heated as it gets they all laugh at teh end. There is really anger in these intense political ping pomg matches that happen.
I have alot to report about the differnece between the 5 counties I ahev been to. That report will come later.

I move yo to Ubd tomorrow the dense jungle green of Bali and the art community that I hope to embrace fully. My friend Mags from New Zeland who I met in Cambodia will be meeting me and we will laso celebrate teh New Year. Of all the new freinds I have made Mags is by far the most interesting.

And so it is Christmas...around the globe in this amazing, crowded, complicated, beautiful world. xoxo
