The Resolution: I'm going to find my inner peace this year.
The answer: LAOS
You've hit the point where less really is more (you got rid of that hot-pink Versace jacket), and you haven't nodded off in the middle of meditation in months. But you can't help but feel that you might be missing the essence of the whole karmic endeavor. Laos will show you the way. You'll find a slow Buddhist society unconcerned with material trappings. Talk with streetside monks and meditate among the 6,800 images of Buddha at the Wat Sisaket monastery in the town of Vientiane. Peace is coming. If only it would hurry up.
