YOUTUBE is back in Thailand!
(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.

The beginning of the end (or of the beginning)

Eye infections are itchy.
A massive windstorm hit Bangkok last week… I was standing by the bus stop waiting to go home when I saw this huge dark cloud moving across the sky. On one side was clear blue skies and the other was this menacing black cloud. I was in a trance watching this thing move across the … Continue reading Eye infections are itchy.
Two worlds collide
(Taken by Muriel, this is the typicall scene of shopping for meat at the markets in Thailand… it may look dirty, but this is the freshest meat you can find for cooking) Just in time for my cousins arrival, I was finally able to speak.
