Here in Thale's bungalows, I see many people -guests or staff- engaged in artistic activity, particularly wood curving is popular here. Almost every table in the reception area/restaurant has some kind of curving. Just as I notice it, [left]Sheraka is doing her circular symbol on a table. [right]I design a circle made of 'peace' in 7 languages onto one of the few tables that has remained uncurved.

After I start curving the owner Siri tells me that the wood used for the table isn't good for curving. I notice it is plywood! This is gonna chip all over. Slow and steady hand, with help of a random Thai tourist who stops by for lunch.

Patrick and I had last two days of difficulty interviewing me on camera in which we see our contradicting points of view, so curving so many 'peace's has been great way to use that unsettled energy. Now it's Patrick's turn, doing the last part in French 'Paix' with the last sunset we see together before long time.

At night Sheraka joins me to color the work. My whole last day on Koh Chang is spent on this work. Siri says he will varnish tomorrow.
