New Toy – 19xx Yamaha Chappy
This is an original ad for my new (old) toy, a Yamaha Chappy most probably made in the seventies, imported from Japan into Thailand. Actually, it has all the signs of having been stolen at some point, and it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s how it got to Thailand. I bought it off my boss who apparently bought it right after it was brought over. She let me have it for just about $100 US (3500 Baht). w00t!

vaccination homework
My free time this week was spent poring over charts like the ones viewable through this WHO portal and checking the feasibility of delayed schedules… More pics to follow, of course, but Mr. Max is now up to 5.2 kilograms! We watched Scratch together today. It was as good as we remembered it (we watched it together 6 months ago when mommy was sleeping on the couch).

random morlam remix
– Just because the scenery in the background looks like the kind of riverside restaurant you often see driving the highways around here. There’s nothing like the funky beat and syncopated yowling of molam to make you feel happy and at home in Isan.
