Our Wedding in Thailand

Photos shall follow
Gotta upload a bunch tonight before my 2GB allotment on flickr for this month runs out… You know, a ring is a very strange thing to have on your finger all day, if you aren’t accustomed to wearing one. My fingers are constantly playing with it, like little dogs straining at their collar.

Denim is the proud uniform of the Thai working class

I will be picking up a cell as soon as I hit Bangkok and will post the number here and over at the airset site. Nam already has one so we’ll send out that info at the same time. Four hours before the end of work. Time to wrap things up.

At these places, I’ve had 25 Baht (70 cents) chicken-on-rice plates better than any restaurant equivalent in the states or Japan, ditto for 50 cent bowls of egg noodles and 40 cent plates of fresh stir fried veggies. Thailand is a chowhound’s dream, simply because of the quality and widespread abundance of street food. One…
