Andaman Rising

My entire story page is built and ready to be published to the web. If all goes well tonight, the website should be up and running for you all to see tomorrow!

I got a Thai massage today! It was VERY different from a Swedish massage, but still incredibly relaxing. All the aches and pains built up from days hunched over the laptop were gone after an hour of massage.

After the massage, I got completely sucked in to making my sen lines flash graphic for about nine hours. I am SO proud of it and SO impressed with myself. I have never used Flash before, so I had some help from coaches and then figured the rest out myself. I did absolutely everything on it and I can't wait for everyone to see it.

Now it's almost 3am and I have to get up at 6:30am to go to Ko Panyi, a Muslim stilt village where Phil did his story. I'm going with a bunch of people from the group, so it should be really fun. It will be nice to leave the resort and see a little bit of Thailand before I go.

After the island, we have a showing of all the stories and the website. The Foreign Ministry will be there because they funded part of our project. We also invited the subjects of the stories and the translators. I hope a lot of people show up!

Then there is some sort of "surprise event" going on at the pool. I'm pretty sure it's just a pool party to celebrate the completion of Andaman Rising.

The Andaman Rising team!
