(Did you know that the police control the traffic flow by standing in the middle of traffic? Not only that, but that almost every intersection in Bangkok has a police box where a police officer switches the traffic lights when he gets info from his radio. I have a feeling that the officer's switch the … Continue reading YOUTUBE is back in Thailand!

Two years ago…
Two years ago, Misha came into our family, I was back in Canada after 5 months in the Balkans, unemployed and starting my Masters program through a university in Australia. Two years later, Misha is big, I am back in Thailand after 9 months in Canada, working two jobs, and finishing my Masters… where … Continue reading Two years ago…
'Conga-fying'
(TED is a really interesting website with lots of creative and innovative people giving talks about different issues. Here’s a short clip of Stewart Brand speaking about “Why squatter cities are a good thing”) Suggestion: If you're going to go fast, why not have a bit of Gloria Estefan playing? Yesterday I took a van … Continue reading 'Conga-fying'
Is there any better place than 'home'?
(Oooooo… artsy picture of my cloth hanger and cloth pins) Spent most of the day at home trying to get caught up with work and school. It's been pretty quiet and not much to update on, unless you really want to hear about what I'm studying. But of course you do, since I know get … Continue reading Is there any better place than 'home'?
Streetside fried chicken rules!
(Supposedly, the largest boutique store in Asia… this is Central World Plaza, or formerly the "World Trade Center", a sprawling complex that has everything you'd want so you won't get homesick… this is where I found White Spot's Triple O's) Not sure if I can trust Apple/Mac as much as I use to because two … Continue reading Streetside fried chicken rules!
The beginning of the end (or of the beginning)
(Who says I can't look like a Simpson's character…If you haven't tried, you can Simpsonize yourself before the Simpson Movie comes out!) School finally started this past week and it'll be a crazy ride for the next few months… but so far I think I've found a rhythm which will keep me sane and help … Continue reading The beginning of the end (or of the beginning)
Bumming on the beach
(Reading in the pool is not a good idea, but luckily I was only posing with my book) I finally am able to sit down to share my last weekend in photos. We made a decision to get out of Bangkok for the weekend and it was definitely worth it. Leaving at 7am, we arrived … Continue reading Bumming on the beach
I want to stay home and watch a DVD
(Who knew a class photo would be this interesting/weird from the back) My Thai friend graduated with a Masters in Nursing today and so I went to take photos. I don't remember what it's like back in Canada, but it was crazy how many photos all the graduating students wanted. There were people infront of … Continue reading I want to stay home and watch a DVD
Giving and Going
(Heading into downtown Vancouver. The North Shore mountains are in the background with Lions Peak covered in snow) 2 weeks went by so fast, I almost missed it. Everything went according to plan: spent one week working on my paper (I hope I pass), then spent about 4 days in a row with family, and … Continue reading Giving and Going
On the road again…
(2 years old and Mischa is as crazy as ever… other than sleeping and eating, she always wants to play and run around) It's nice to be back in Vancouver again. Weather is cooler and there seems to be less people around, but its quiet, the air is clean, and things are less chaotic than … Continue reading On the road again…
