Monete

This is our trek guide, Monete, a very successful man inspite of being a Karen. This is hem cooking us supper over an open fire. They use what look like old clay pots like you would use for plants as stoves. The meal was great, chicken in green curry (very hot and spicey), grilled vegatables, and thom yam soup. The only thing that bothered me about him was that he was a christian that had no tolerance for those that still held onto their Buddhist beliefs. It was a little uncomfortable for us to sit and listen to him talk badly about Buddhism while Beer, our guide who is Buddhist, sat there and did not say a thing.
