Bicycle lane at work
When the curb is lined with cars and long pickups (can you see the diagonal parking lines? ), you definitely do not want to hug that lane line too closely… I’ve backed in in this photo, but people usually park forward, and back out pretty much blind if there are cars on either side of them. On a more positive note, that’s possibly the best bicycle drawn freehand with a paintbrush I’ve ever seen. Posted from WordPress for Android

Culmination.
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.

Gang Wai
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). Posted from WordPress for Android

Tributes to Fury Road
Which hack is Mad Maxier? A. This tortoise shell guitar found at an obscure ya-dong bar in Roi Et: or B. My old dirt-thrasher Tena (the urusai-est Honda Tena in the world) —————– This review of Wilson Silver Color Mist (apparently used as the chrome inhalant in the movie) made me bust a gut.

Chicken Fingers
There are a few tonkatsu chefs in Japan that I’ve seen test the temperature of frying oil with the edge of their thumbs, but I’ve never seen anything like this….
