Salmon Lays

Posted on May 16, 2013 by

I somehow imagine this flavor would have come out in Japan rather than Thailand, either way, it wasn’t as bad as the salmon cream pizza I had in Tenri in the late 90′s.

In Thai they are called san phra phum. Never seen one on top of a house before. Taken down the street from Max & Mina’s great grandmother’s house in Sankha, Surin Province, Thailand.

Korat Street Art

Posted on May 5, 2013 by

Some good, some not so good. The first two seem to have been walls for a building some time in the recent past, but now just serve to host art and demarcate the boundary of this lot.

Lego Time @Highway Rest Stop 90km from Korat

Posted on May 5, 2013 by

I don’t know the name of the town because I couldn’t be bothered to look at my phone’s location. However, it’s only fair to note that this is the first fueling station I’ve ever seen to have two 7-11s – … Continue reading →

Mina pimping new Jordans @Mag Shop, Maha Sarakham

Posted on May 4, 2013 by

I don’t know why she likes five stars and six stars so much; it must be a phase… She will undoubtedly mature to a stage where she realizes that ten or twelve spokes are where it’s at, I’m sure.

Maha Sarakham Restaurant Review – Little Tokyo

Posted on May 2, 2013 by

Went to a new Japanese restaurant opening today with Tong. It wasn’t crowded at all, and my first impression was bad because it reeked of fresh paint inside. I don’t want to go into much detail, because we only had … Continue reading →

Mina’s first catch

Posted on April 23, 2013 by

The other day, I dug up a single earthworm from our sun-dried garden and tied a simple bobber rig onto a spinning rod to give Max and Mina a chance to catch something in the pond across our street. Max … Continue reading →

I found the part!

Posted on April 23, 2013 by

… or at least, my sister-in-law in Bangkok asked a garage who did… Amazing Thailand! The replacement part is actually in much worse condition, over all, than the one I took off my car, but the plastic latch that holds … Continue reading →

Tabasco? Wasasco? WASABI-O!

Posted on April 15, 2013 by

Last year, I wrote an e-mail to my Santa Claus impersonating buddy in Japan (impossible to find a link for you, dude – there are at least 7 “Santa Daves” on Facebook and even a “Big Wave Santa”) telling him … Continue reading →

I need this part

Posted on April 2, 2013 by

This post is a simple plea to the monkey in the sky to help me find a working turn signal assembly for my 1971 Toyota Crown. The molded plastic latch lasted many decades before succumbing to normal wear and tear. … Continue reading →
