A Tribute to Buildings 1&2, Rajabhat Maha Sarakham University
They are knocking down our “Little House on the Prairie” schoolhouses and will soon replace them with new facilities. They were probably the oldest buildings on campus with solid wood construction, and were a lot cooler than the concrete buildings that have come to represent typical SE Asian construction… In recent years, some of the rooms had been upgraded with whiteboards and sound systems, but there was nothing like going into class every morning and asking students to clean the blackboard erasers.

A moment of peace…
…while Max contemplates pushing his sister over (don’t mess with her when she has that look in her eyes, boy!). (taken at a local temple being used as polling place for the national election; we were waiting for mommy to cast her ballot)

One ThaiPad Per Child
I took this photo a couple months ago out toward the local ostrich farm. The political party that put tons of these signs up on all the roads won Sunday’s elections, so I guess Max and Mina will be getting their ThaiPads soon…
