I swear that I’d posted this before, but I guess not.

A few shorts from the past month
I regret nothing. Except accidentally washing my passport when I got back home from all the trips. We went to Pattaya and Phuket on separate trips to visit students interning at various hotels. Met a lot of cool people and saw a lot of crazy things.
I got what seemed to be food poisoning in Pattaya, possibly from a beloved plate of seafood rad na, but who knows? Food poisoning happens (for me, every five years or so), and the culprit is not always clear. I took off for the Phuket trip still feeling nauseous. On the plane from Don Muang to Phuket, we sat in back of a foreign family that smelled of a wet horse stall at a glue factory. They spoke French and slapped the shit out of their kid when she got scared at takeoff. I made up my mind, right then and there, to vomit on the back of the father’s head if I couldn’t keep it down. I kept turning greener and greener (as did the people around me), but held it down. But best believe I was standing up before we were fully stopped and running off that plane…
The adventures on road trips make life worth living.
CPR Training
We attended a CPR training course over the weekend at a local rescue foundation. Thai CPR practices follow international standards.
Bangkok Water Taxi
It’s nice to know that the inner city canal system is still in use, even after most of them were filled in from the 1960s. If you get the chance, it’s a little bit off the beaten path and it’s a cheap way to both get around and see some funkier areas of Bangkok: Khlong Saen Saep Boat Service

More Noro-san Videos
Noro-san apparently gained a few kilos on his trip to Thailand. Come to think of it, he never stopped eating!
Noro-san in Thailand
My pal T brought his 80 year old uncle to Thailand for an end of the year trip and we hung out for a week. It was his first trip on an airplane for 30 years, and everyone had a great time with him. I’ve been putting together a series of Shorts with the highlights.
Fire Safety
This is a pretty common demonstration at schools and government offices in this country. Seemingly. the more run down the venue is, the crazier the demonstrations are. I’ve seen them light the flames and wave the gas cylinders over their heads like Donkey Kong before.
RMU Melodies
I like walking around my campus at sunset because I can see after school activities in a nice light just as it’s getting cooler.
