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.

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.

Two girls talking
I’m not sure what the context is, but I like their expressions: Taken about a month ago at a restaurant barge in Don Wai Floating Market (which is no longer a floating market, but rather a very hot and crowded indoor market crammed with people), on the banks of the Nakhon Chaisri River, Nakhon Pathom province. UPDATE: Kevin provides dialogue.

A fruit on my tree
Oh, my Gac! Or should I say, fuck cow? The tree I planted a handful of gac vines under, in a pot, allowed just one enough shade to survive a full year. I’ve only spotted one fruit so far, but I’m looking forward to see if it will fully ripen.

School art project
Max and Mina made their own t-shirts at school – I wish they’d made them in my size! The writing under the artwork is their names in Thai script.
