Thursday, November 27th, 2008Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American friends and family. We are so thankful for each and every one of you and we miss you!
Samui Samui
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008Well my peoples. I hear you want to hear more about Thailand. Sorry for the delay. Me thinks its time for us to move on to Koh Samui, known simply by the locals as Samui since koh means island in Thailand. After being in Chiang Mai for four days, culminating with the elephants, we were […]
Come back!
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008Where did the rainy season go? It’s allegedly still the rainy season but I am telling you the rain has been nowhere to be found the past couple of days. In fact, it is HOT. Brutally hot again. Walk outside and start sweating immediately hot. Melting in my shoes and gawking at disbelief at the […]
Nice
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008I love that one of the top searches that gets people to our blog is “I like sitting on laps” Me too senor, me too.
Christmas Pudding
Friday, November 21st, 2008The Christmas onslaught continues. Every day there are more lights, bells, trees, ornaments, etc. It’s intense. But the place you can really tell? The grocery store. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but most grocery stores are in the basements of large malls around here. I can walk to about four good groceries from my […]
Elephant Love
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008Ahh the elephants. I’ve been waiting to do this post, partly because I was waiting on the pictures from John, but partly because I think I’m mad at the elephants. Well, not the elephants themselves, more like nature in general. Mother nature, she is a cruel mistress. Let me start from the beginning though, and […]
Santa Threw Up on Orchard Road
Sunday, November 16th, 2008That’s what it looks like at least. In Singapore, almost 50% of the population is Buddhist and the rest is a large mix of Muslims, Christians, Taoists and Hindus, among other things. No matter though, because we will have Christmas! They say Singapore is all about chilling, shopping, and eating, and I guess there’s no […]
Thai Cooking School
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008One thing Thailand is known for, and especially Chiang Mai, is cooking school. Of all of the cuisines I’ve tried while in Asia, Thai food is far and away my favorite. I love the ingredients – coconut milk, peanuts, papaya, hot chiles, curry, banana – I could go on and on. The great thing about […]
City Life in Chiang Mai
Friday, November 7th, 2008Thailand. Wow. I hardly know where to begin. We had such an amazing trip. I guess I’ll start from the beginning. The beginning again that is, since I wrote this entire post already and completely lost it. I was really mad but then I went to yoga and now I’m zen again so it’s okay. […]
Election Day Mania
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008Living abroad during a historic U.S. election has been an interesting and enlightening experience when it comes to understanding the world’s perceptions of the United States. I’m only speaking for my experiences, which have been confined of course to Singapore and some of the other countries I’ve traveled in around Southeast Asia, but I do […]
