Quick Question
Should I sell this photo? I like owning the rights to my photos. How much is that worth? A farthing? A doubloon? http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=43971487&size=l

On the Road 2007 (Part 5) – Tamnanpar
After visiting Koh Chang, Nam and I headed back toward familiar territory: The miles-long stretch of beach at Rayong. We booked into the same hotel we had stayed at two years before, and I used the net cafe next to the lobby to find a good place to eat. A review of Tamnanpar Forest Restaurant caught my eye, so we went off on a leisurely drive to find it since we were in relax mode and had no plans in particular. We were in for a surprise! The view as you enter the grounds from the parking lot of Tamnanpar. The weather was overcast (we had been plagued by rain…

For you. Who me? Yes, you.
You asked for all of my Thai-related posts; this category contains most of them: Thai Society/Culture This is a chronological listing starting from around the time I came to Thailand to ask for Nam’s hand in marriage (spring ’05). The other Thai-related category on my site is Our Wedding in Thailand, which is just aptly-named as hell, if I do say so myself. It contains the exploits of two elephants, several hundred wedding guests, and the imaginary Jennifer Lopez living in my head, so proceed with caution.

Tuna Boat (?????)
Right around the time I finished university in Japan, I was in a bind. I had no money and limited prospects finding a job I wanted to do – I wanted to try working in a big company for the experience, but didn’t want to follow the normal job hunting procedure. Pretty much all of my classmates were set up with jobs or postgrad studies, which was worrying, but at the time I felt powerless to change the situation. The state of the Japanese economy was in constant decline, and there just were not many jobs around. On the other hand, I didn’t want to return home to the states…

Speaking of carp…
Over at the Fish & Fly site: Thai guide in record carp catch There’s a lot of haters saying it doesn’t mean much since it was caught in a stocked lake, which is kind of a valid criticism – it would be more impressive if it had been caught in the wild. The thing is, they might not get that big out in the wild… All I know is, that has to be one nasty-tasting fish.

Iguana skillet
I woke up today and stretched out on my balcony like I do every morning. The hybrid eucalyptus/native vegetation forest has grown to twice its height since I arrived here at the end of last year, and the native wildlife has really settled in. It’s nice to watch fireflies playing tag before I go to sleep and wake up to bird calls new to my ears. This morning I looked down on our cooking area and saw an iguana chilling out on my cast iron skillet (note: It might the same kind I photographed at my university a while back). He cocked his head at me as I approached: what…
