    We took Mr. Max out to a friend’s birthday party at a nearby restaurant/fishing park (we ate but did not fish), but he got weepy so we came back, took showers, and for daddy it’s back to the grind now. /////////////////////// I hate when I accidentally hit the Insert key when editing in Word. That is all.

    Karma, illustrated

    October 25, 2009 /

    Cosmic Buddha was born in a Mahayana country… But now lives in a Theravada one. The differences between the two are apparent in the way they affect the curry: Curries in Mahayana countries are more refined, and curries in Theravada countries have deeper flavor; all are delicious. Of course, karma can crush you regardless of the flavor you choose.

    The World Housing Market – 50,000,000 Yen Edition

    October 23, 2009 /

    Here is an amusing photo series depicting the kind of houses you can buy around the world for fifty million yen (which is a whopping 547,106 USD at today’s rate – endaka is such a fickle bitch!): 5000??????????? The locations represented, in order, are: Thai Bali Chicago Costa Rica Brazil Spain Tokyo The problem, of course, is that land value skews the representations far too much. For instance, if you paid half a mil for the Thai house in anywhere but a few select locations, you paid 3 or 4 times more than you should have. Also, Brazil and Indonesia sure have similar architecture and beaches… Still, it’s a pretty…

    Surveying Khao Yai National Park, Thailand

    October 20, 2009 /

    Last week, while tripping balls on cold medicine and mourning the loss of our pink chicken, I mentioned going on a scouting trip for our upcoming International Camp. Here are some photos which are neither international nor even educational, but I like them anyway. If you’re lucky I may even throw in the odd caption. Khao Yai National Park. Entrance fees for Thais: 20 Baht. For foreigners: 200 Baht. Yet somehow, I got in for the Thai rate (because my coworkers told me to shut up so I could pass as Thai. Thanks, girls!) The dormitories we were supposed to stay at, but will no longer be able to because…
