English soccer club comes to Chiang Mai
Vincent Leutwiler (Student
Trainee)
On Friday July 8 a friendly soccer match took place
between a local team from Siriwattana Church and the Berg Soccer Club from
England.
The first goal was scored by the English team shortly
after the kick off and several more followed until the Siriwattana team
managed to slip past their opponents’ line of defense to score their first
goal.
Berg
Soccer Club and Siriwattana Church Team
Since the Berg club consisted of only 10 team members and
they were playing by the official FIFA rules of 11 a side, this Chiangmai
Mail reporter covering the event was asked to join the team for the
second half of the match.
After a spectacular show from both sides the match ended
with a 6-2 score for the Berg Soccer Club.
The team’s manager, Michael Taylor, wanted to do
something interesting with the club and so he took them to play some friendly
matches in the Land of Smiles. Although this is the first time he has done
something like this, all of his team mates very much liked the idea of
playing against teams in other countries.
They may also go to next year’s World Cup in Germany for a chance to
play against teams from that country.
Another yoga choice in Chiang Mai
Vincent Leutwiler (Student Trainee)
The art of yoga has been well entrenched in certain areas
of Thailand for many years, and one local choice is a studio run by Marcel
Kraushaar, a Swiss-born German who has been teaching yoga in Thailand for
almost 20 years.
Marcel learned the art of yoga and meditation in Sri
Lanka and India some 25 years ago. His new Hatha Kriya Yoga Retreat Center
is located near the Technology Asia College on Mahidol Road. The center
offers classes in Hatha Kriya yoga, preksha meditation, tai chi, Jin Shin
Jyutsu (a type of energy-restoring massage), foot, hand and ear reflexology.

massage course.
The center also offers rooms for rent for retreats at the
center and a variety of natural foods. The duration of the retreats is
chosen by the participants and includes meditation and fasting retreats.
