(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!

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…
The Return of "Hong Kong Foot"
(Muriel and Anne enjoying the seaside just around the corner from "downtown" Sanary) Nothing much to say except that I'm still recovering from France and juggling my schedule… I need to get a whole bunch of stuff done (i.e. moving, term papers, work projects) before I head back to Canada in June. Oh, that reminds … Continue reading The Return of "Hong Kong Foot"
It's true, France is full of wine and cheese
(Sanary Sur Mer – about a 4 hour highspeed train south of Paris along the Mediteranean Sea) Just got back from Paris this morning and, boy, am I tired! Haven't experienced jetlag for over a year and its a little difficult to get use to. It was a wonderful place and we were lucky to … Continue reading It's true, France is full of wine and cheese
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.
H20 + Powder = One big mess!
(Posing infront of a huge poster in Siam Paragon… I think all the security guards and cleaning staff around us thought we were crazy) Mid-April in Thailand (and other parts of SouthEast Asia) is Songkran time, or what would be loosely translated into Thai New Year. So on top of your typical New Years celebration, … Continue reading H20 + Powder = One big mess!
