At45 minutes, you might need to set aside some time to watch the whole thing. Do it if you have the time, because Peters’ … Continue reading Somebody gonna get a hurtin'…Thailand Blocks YouTube

Bananas or Eggs… you decide.
(Taking a snooze at some World Dance exhibition… nice shirt, eh?) I have to apologize to all the readers of my blog (…all two of you?) about not posting anything recently, but I've been really busy with work, school and life. And on top of that my portable harddrive decided it didn't like me and … Continue reading Bananas or Eggs… you decide.
You speak Thai good… jing jing
(Taken at Suan Pakkard Palace in Bangkok. A nice little oasis from the craziness of BKK) Life sure can get complicated and interesting at the same time. After having a non-stop event-filled life since early January, the next 4 months are already planned out. If I can organize myself and find some sort of routine … Continue reading You speak Thai good… jing jing
I'm yellow but that's ok.
(The bridge and platform design for the bar on the 54th floor of the State Tower) Sitting on top of Bangkok is an amazing experience. If you’ve never been to a roof top bar, I highly recommend, if only just once. Could it be that Bangkok is a beautiful city? Going up 50+ floors to … Continue reading I'm yellow but that's ok.
The best things in life…
(Hey, that's me in number 13, my old junior high school basketball number… this was us trying to plan out our strategy against Mission Hospital during a friendly basketball match between the UN's basketball club and the Hospital) Can you believe it, one more month and I'll have been in Bangkok (again!) for a year… … Continue reading The best things in life…

It started about a week ago when i was sitting … Continue reading Two worlds collide
Sex in the United Nations (…it happens…)
Emergency Sex (and other desperate measures) gives a pretty good insight into the lives of three humanitarians / peacekeepers and the work they do towards the very holistic ideas of the United Nations. Its a book that highlights the struggles/conflicts we have in the 20th century with the real-life stories of these twenty-something peacekeepers. Full … Continue reading Sex in the United Nations (…it happens…)
Ooooh, yes'a masta….
Asking for money is always hard to do, whether you're out on the street looking for change for a phone call or sitting in an office looking to find funds for a worthwhile cause. It seems to me people are or have been always skeptical about why they should give someone money… possible thoughts that … Continue reading Ooooh, yes'a masta….
Organizing can be FUN or a pain in the A$$
(Setting up beach umbrellas and chairs on an early morning on Cha-am beach) After a suprisingly eventful January, I came back from Australia to a slight buzz in the air preparing for a conference for the Canadian organization that sent me to Thailand. Whether I’m a control freak or not, I took on the responsiblity … Continue reading Organizing can be FUN or a pain in the A$$
Photographic review of the past month
(Taking a break from cycling around Kanachaburi, about a 3 hour North-west bus ride from Bangkok. This was right before we checked out a war memorial detailing the construction of the bridge and death of POWs made famous by the movie, the Bridge of River Kwai) The past month has been crazy mix of outdoor … Continue reading Photographic review of the past month
