    Thai ATM Horror Story

    April 30, 2008 /

    So today turned out to be a big bummer because of the stupid Thai banking system. In short, I tried to withdraw 20,000 Baht from my Japanese bank with an international (PLUS system) bank card, which is something I’ve done many times before with no real problems. This time, however, the ATM (Thai Commercial Bank) flashed an error, “Communication Error,” and spat out my card but no cash and no receipt. I figured it might be an error with this particular bank and mine in Japan (Mitsui Sumitomo), so I tried again with the ATM to the immediate right of the first one (Thai Military Bank). Same error message, same…

    Effluvian Cycle

    April 30, 2008 /

    I never imagined such a cute little thing could poop so often. Max, when not sleeping or breastfeeding, is soiling diapers (and our clothes as well) at a highly efficient rate. I would say at this point we are going through 30 diapers per day, as well as assorted towels, blankets, and baby clothes that get soiled as well (one downside to cloth diapers is that they have no plastic layer to keep the juiciness sealed in). My mental checklist from the past 24 hours looks something like this: Poo Pee Pee Pee Poo Double double (2 pees + 2 poos consecutively/simultaneously, in random order) Pee Very wet fart/not quite…

    Went Shopping for a Car Seat…

    April 25, 2008 /

    Guess he’ll have to grow into it. As a sidenote, this may have been the only car seat for sale in all of Mahasarakham. Since it was the last one in the only store that we know sells car seats, perhaps there is literally nowhere to buy them here anymore. It was about $90 and has genuine-looking European safety certification markings on it.

    I have much to write about. However, I also have many soiled diapers to wash and many other chores around the house before I can do anything even resembling play. Just being back home feels good, though. And on the way back home, we found out that Max likes reggae.

    Taco truck ban?

    April 23, 2008 /

    (I need to take a quick break from baby blogging) As if bacon-wrapped hot dogs being outlawed wasn’t enough, it seems taco trucks are now in jeopardy on the streets of LA: Led by District 1 County Supervisor Gloria Molina, the L.A. Board of Supervisors has passed new restrictions that will effectively eliminate taco trucks from our streets. Under Supervisor Molina’s new rules, taco trucks will have to change location every hour, or face a misdemeanor charge carrying a $1000 fine and/or jail. LINK: saveourtacotrucks.org
