(Scary looking dwarf under a Citibank-sponsored Christmas Tree beside the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel) Doesn’t Christmas freak you out a little? Doesn’t it seem weird that this is the “holiday” season, but for most people it doesn’t feel like a holiday? I’m assuming that more than half of Canada is stressing out at this time … Continue reading Christmas wasn’t that painful

It's getting festive!
(Joking around with friends while we wait for our food and drinks at Sofa Cafe/Bar) The holiday season is upon us and its getting crazy in the streets (and in the malls). Bangkok, seemingly the consumer capital of the world, is in full swing with sales here, deals there, and shopping everywhere. It's still a … Continue reading It's getting festive!

Say Cheese!
(A close up of me and my friend during a bicycling trip at Ancient City) The last couple of weekends have been interesting spending time with friends and going around taking photos. I don't think I've ever taken so many photos in a span of a couple of weeks… I actually filled up my memory … Continue reading Say Cheese!
I might FAIL!
(Wat Rakang at sunset while taking a stroll through my old stomping grounds and where I lived when I was last in Bangkok) The past week has been an interested one.

A low-key, yet eventful Birthday weekend
Birthdays are a strange phenomena… other than the physical indication that you're getting older (i.e. a little more white hairs, aching body parts, etc.), you wouldn't realize it was your birthday. i've come to realize that its letting people know of your birthday that makes it a special day. It's this day that everyone celebrates … Continue reading A low-key, yet eventful Birthday weekend

In any country, McDonald's usually has one burger or meal that caters towards the local McDonald's loving population. In Thailand, this takes form in the McRice Burger… does that sound tasty to you? Having spent a total of about 2 years in Thailand, this was the first time I can remember eating a McDonald's meal … Continue reading Sir, can I have some more?
Holy hayfever, batman!
Who would've guessed you can get hayfever in Bangkok. First, there's no real drastic changes to seasons. I mean, basically the city has a wet, dry and hot season, where temperatures range from 25-38 degrees C… Sure its not so humid now but why all of sudden are all the symptom of being back in … Continue reading Holy hayfever, batman!
Banana-leaf-boats
Yesterday was the Loy Krathong festival in Thailand. This is where people get to the nearest body of water and drop a little banana leaf boat to pay respect to their ancestors and make offerings to the water (god?). Had a chance to make my own banana boat… it didn't really help my confidence level … Continue reading Banana-leaf-boats
