In an Internet cafe on Khao San now…it’s been raining mice and cockroaches (not quite that heavy, just an intermittent annoying drizzle) and the night markets have taken a beating.  Sadly for me.  Rest assured I have been doing my utmost best to help Bangkok’s economy along.  I’ve been going nuts along Khao San, Suan [...]

Here I am for the first time at the Budget Terminal.  I could go into a whole long rant about Names and how some names are inexplicably redundant and just plain stupid but that would be a waste of time because there’s nothing I can do about it except, really, rant about how some names [...]

The devastating thing is reading it, completely understanding the feelings behind what they’re saying, then shaking your head at how idealistic and romantic they are.
While I would not be as crazy to go do law (sorry, law people) and be a nutcase lawyer working 80 hours a week, you still do need to work to [...]

I be flying off in a few hours and I am EXCITED!
Thanks all of you who messaged me with sweet bye-bye messages…

“¡Habla español!” his Spanish friend exclaims.
“Si, un poquito.”
They beam at me, and I mentally thank my Spanish tutor for drilling us in the [...]

Thaksin’s been ousted in a military coup and a state of emergency has been declared.
Crap.
Night curfews have been set.
Double crap.
The baht is falling like Rapunzel from her tower and her prince in love.
That’s one minor silver lining.
Please please let this all blow over by the weekend :(

“Sir, your food and drink cost $xx,” Kelly says.
The guy nods and takes out his wallet.
“Okay, but I want a receipt.”
“Why do you need a receipt?” his friend cocks his head in curiosity.
The guy looks at Kelly, then back at his friend. “It’s a matter of integrity,” he says. “I don’t trust these [...]
