M&M’s First TKD Exposition
Nam left for Japan on a work trip yesterday, but we are keeping busy at home. Max and Mina’s dojo did a taekwondo expo at the old Sermthai shopping mall in town. Max likes watching kung fu movies at home, and then forgets he’s studying TKD, not wushu: Then, predictably, somebody set off Mina and she went all Dragonball on everyone: Video to follow as soon as it finishes uploading.

Citroen AX and BX
I’ve been meaning to write about these cars for a long time. I came across this photo, from around 1999, when going through old albums. I put it aside and it’s been collecting dust on my PC desk since then.

A Chrome extension for this script is downloadable from the Google Play store, but it seems to be causing a lot of problems. The workaround is to install an Opera extension, which is counter-intuitive, and this…

Nardi 14″
Just centered this bad boy with a tire iron and a cop came to ask me if he could borrow some tools to fix his motorcycle… He wasn’t a very good mechanic, and I ended up adjusting his carb with the mixture and idle adjustment screws. The kids are still at TKD…. I feel like a soccer mom waiting for them to finish. A soccer mom in a lowered, black 1971 Kujira Crown.

TKD Generations
So Max and Mina have been taking Tae Kwon Do classes for a couple months now, and recently passed their yellow belt tests. Watching them develop during their daily sessions (6 days a week) really brings back a lot of memories. See if you can spot why: Max (5 years old): Mina (3 years old): Daddy (11 years old?): Auntie Mika (9 years old?): Uncle Adam (7 years old?): Auntie Merin (5 years old?): Grand Master Yong Shin (our idol): The Dynamic Duo:
