Date: January 22, 2007 07:40AM i emailed them about visiting and possibly giving birth to my babe-to-be when i was pregnant 6 years ago. i was told "no way, no children!" and that was that. strange for a permaculture society to have no interest in teaching the way to a next generation but whateve's. i heard that they have changed their ways in that regard now.
i was also told that there was required reading before visiting, instinctive eating by whatever the dude's name was. in the book he talks about eating bugs and flesh and such. not my thing but again whatever. Re: Pangaia???

Date: January 22, 2007 11:38AM I have a friend in Thailand who used to live there. His brother still lives there. Yeah, they eat raw meat, and so does my friend. If you're interested, I could put you in touch with him. He's not aggressive or anything like some people claim about raw meat eaters. But now that you know they eat meat there ....

Date: January 23, 2007 01:05AM I have been in contact with them. I'm aware of the meat thing (and the nudity thing) and am not very happy about it. I'm on the fence about the whole thing. I was just interested in hearing other what others knew about it. I do think that for $750 a month all food included it is not a bad deal. I would love to eat mangos and advocados right off the trees and learn about permaculture. Anyone know of any other similiar places that they would recommend (vegetarian hopefully!) ????

You know Scott? I met him the last time I was in Koh Samui. He helped my find some out of season durians while I was there in February last year. He told me I looked to healthy to be a raw vegan. Oh well. Re: Pangaia???

Date: January 23, 2007 01:54PM Yeah, Scott doesn't hold veganism in much esteem. He's always chiding raw vegans. And can't say enough about how he feels that raw animal protein does him so much good. I won't argue but I'm not interested. I friend and I stayed with him a couple of weeks a few years back.
How did you get in touch with him? He's a big durian fan too. I don't know if he's still doing it but he was looking around for some donors to help him buy a piece of land with lots of rare durian varieties. It went something like this. I haven't heard anything from him lately about this.
