What a long, strange trip it’s been. Moved here to Thailand never having been here before and almost no money, overdrafted my account immediately and was broke for three weeks, moved across the country and was almost immediately mugged and hospitalized for almost two weeks.. It’s gotten stranger and stranger. I was given half ownership [...]
Pooamka »
Or something like that, last night Mama, Papa, Wei, and Wew (my family) got into the family pick up truck and Koy, my girlfriend said ‘Go’ so I went with them. We went over dark bumpy roads, winding thru rice paddies and finally arrived at a row of candles on posts and a candle lit [...]
Sometimes good stuff happens… »
At the urging of my roommate, Som, I left my comfortable, cheap, beautiful, furnished apartment in a familiar area with friends and acquaintences everywhere and moved across town to a place I’d never seen that wasn’t furnished and we had to buy all our appliances, curtians, everything. IT’S WONDERFUL! The neighbors(it’s a duplex) are a [...]
Halloween? »
What did you do for Halloween? I watched a zombie fest on a movie chanel out of Macau but couldn’t stay up to finish it inspite of drinking coffee all evening. I still haven’t moved, haven’t even seen the place yet. I may let Som move there and I’ll move over a little at a [...]
When life gives you lemons… »
I had a friend drinkin’ n drivin’ in his convertible, cruising through Arizona one night. He passed a large truck and waved his bottle at the driver and after several waves of the bottle the driver pulled over and had a couple of shots. He offered John some lemons which was his load and John [...]
Grand Opening(of my head)and two letters »
What is the name of the village that you are moving to? What is the nearest big city? How long have you known Som?
It looks like your scar is healing up okay. I’m glad that the new medicine that you are taking is working well. Let’s hope it continues.
It’s looking like the sale of the [...]

Cutting corners »

Other than the obvious, more good things about Tha(and Lao) girls »
I was released early from the hospital because of no funds to pay my bill, within an hour I had passed out, fallen, hit my head on the floor and went in for more xrays and three days more hospital, crap! Well, when I was in the first time for the first two days I [...]
Mama’s Day »
Here in Thailand it’s the Queen’s birthday, no liquor sales, no bars open, probably a parade, they’re big on parades here and go all out. The bar next door to my apartment is getting three brand new girls today and can’t open, getting a new pool table too. The Mama san has offered me my [...]
Fon called, then Tham, but I want Som »
I have had a little communication problem here, not too bad though. I asked a man where the mall was and he talked a moment with a woman nearby who informed me that the man didn’t date other men….. When I moved from my last apartment I told the desk girl I needed my deposit [...]

Last night I assisted two classes and observed a third, it’s awesome! The younger children were less interested and it was a zoo but the 10ish [...]
