Well, this was certainly unexpected when I said we were going to see Yoshimoto perform in Bangkok this past weekend: This story actually belongs to Nam – so let her…

    Highway eyesore

    December 26, 2011 /

    Buses painted like these are a common sight at highway rest stops in Thailand, but this just might be the worst I’ve ever seen.

    I got around to pulling photos from the camera today, so here’s what we did for Christmas this year:     Yes, the fish sanctuary/Buddhist temple. This is one of Max’s favorite places to visit now.

    Isan X-mas 2011

    December 25, 2011 /

    I haven’t been home for Christmas for so many years now, I only miss it in theory. Living in Japan and Thailand, I work on western holidays if it falls on work days, and often forget about many of them. Christmas is celebrated (read: utilized for marketing purposes, just like in the west) just enough here that I’ve never forgotten about it, but we don’t celebrate it really. At most, we go out as a family, as we did today… which is of course the most important part of the holidays, anyway. I’ll be going on a trip to Chonburi and Pattaya from 5 AM tomorrow for a few days,…

    More dead flash

    December 20, 2011 /

    It seems my flash memory karma went to hell. After having to trash the new fake Kingston USB drive I bought, the 8GB Samsung Micro SD card in my HTC decided to crap out, taking with it a bunch of cool photos I wanted to post… Lost perhaps forever, until I have access to a NAND reader in the future. Wouldn’t you know it, I was thinking about backing up the photos just the day before it went bad… Dammit.
