I subscribe to a site that sends me a quote from C. S. Lewis every day. Yesterday's was a good one:
"Walking and talking are two very great pleasures, but it is a mistake to combine them. Our own noise blots out the sounds and silences of the outdoor world."
I guess this would also pertain to earphones, although, I think jogging is in a different category than walking. There, earphones would be appropriate, if desired.

Well, I am back on The Roof Of The World as of Jan. 11th. I am now 8-squared years old.
My first week in Thailand was a lot of fun. I visited a lot of old haunts and did a whole lot of walking. Going from a mile high to sea level really gives you some energy.
Unfortunately, then I got sick - twice. That is amazing since I didn't get sick at all the 5 months I was there before. Upon reflection, I remember, at the hotel, seeing them pour a pot of water into the coffee urn with which we make our instant coffee, tea, and cups of ramen noodles. I think they were pouring tap water into it instead of using bottled water. Arrrgh, it ruined my whole second week. I ended up doing no shopping.
The second time happened 5 hours before I was to leave for the airport. I got frantic figuring I would have to miss my flight and stay in Bangkok a couple more days. But, I took 8 Imodium in the next 3 hours and felt safe by 7 am and went ahead to the airport. Everything turned out alright.
