Easter Eggs at Big C?
Nothing to do with Easter, actually. Just some colorful century eggs AKA thousand year old eggs. They usually only come in pink, but it looks like this company’s trying to stand out or something.

Catch!
When we play catch or practice hitting balls around the vacant lots and parks around here, people stop to watch. Hmm… I’ve never seen anyone else playing baseball in Thailand, either! I’m not a big baseball fan or anything, but it’s great for kids’ hand-eye coordination. I found the equipment for sale at a secondhand Japanese goods store in town. This was a very popular business until very recently – you could buy containers of household stuff from Japan at various Thai shipping ports for around 70,000 baht and up.

The huntsman spider in this video is pretty big, but I’ve seen bigger both inside and outside our house.
