Raising a family in Thailand // Documenting Issan food, culture, music, and people
This is a huge Windows-driven LCD with which I gauge my arrival to the university every morning. It’s usually not on when I roll by the first time since I have a lot of early morning classes, but on free days I sometimes see diagnostic screens, Windows startup, and the plethora of error dialogs that the operator has to click through before getting to the day’s scheduled programming. Sometimes I dream of hijacking it for giggles.

It was an 8-day Thai funeral.
Cremation (and for Max and I, ordination) was on the last day.
Ashes were spread on the nearby Chi river this morning (9th day).
Nam is still working on the aftermath, even now. These are some photos from one of the outfits (HD-ELEE Studio) covering it.
Something big is happening tomorrow. Today was a test run of sorts.

Made from the tip of some mysterious plant which I’m too lazy to Google at the moment, the wai in gang wai is both seasonal and local, so it would probably sell out at Whole Foods back home. This particular iteration also contains white ants. It is one of the best bowls I have ever eaten. Coincidence? I think not. Insects make everything better, people (you eat parts of them every day anyway).
