Isarn, I believe is the name of the group that funds the school I checked out yesterday. They teach Thai children and young adults the English language, I applied. 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 [...]
Nothing COOL to say… »
I’m in Nang Khai two days now, yesterday I went to Lao, Vientiene and got my visa on time, no cost!!!! Well, $35 to get into Lao(Laos) but that’s a 30 day visa and I’ll only need to get one every third time I go if I watch the calendar closely. While in Vientiene I [...]
Massage »
I’ve mentioned massage in passing here but I never had one this good… I’m getting ahead of myself here. As you know if you read here often I had a bad case of impecuniosity which has been alleviated by my debit card being activated recently. I felt I owed many of the people here [...]
The ONE »
I’ve finally gotten the bank to let me use my debit card at the ATMs here in Thailand! Yea! Double Yea!!, I went and took out 5000 baht, didnt’ need that much but it felt good to have some folding money in my pocket(I was jingling when I walked the last few days) So, I [...]
Living without access… »
I’ve found out what happened to my account, first when I knew I was coming over here I joined asiafriendfinder and got a one month membership and one month of allowing those without memberships to write me. I thought that would be a good way to meet people in the places I was going. Well, [...]
More whining »
Well, at 4:30am I jumped up and dressed, went to the ATM to get some cash and some food for the first time in several days and guess what? It’s still the 4th of July back in America and my bank isn’t open and didn’t recieve yet my urgent plea to please please please turn [...]
This is my life now »
Still waiting for the bank to turn back on my debit card, i have enough to last me till my next pitiful social security check when they do. I have thought and thought what may have happened to cause the overdraft and I guess I must have just overspent, don’t recall what it could have [...]
Just when everything’s going great…. »
It all goes kaflooey, I try not to cuss in polite company. My ‘date’ is postponed till the 6th, not good or bad, just disappointing, I’m looking forward to meeting her, she’s been looking at my profile on asiafrienfinder twice a day, so I’m probably ok there. My Social Security(I hesitate to capitolize those words [...]
I’ve never been lost but, »
I was mighty confused for three days once. Daniel Boone. Today I set off to find a bookstore that paid 50 baht a piece for used paperbacks, 20 more than other places. I had it marked on my map and, thinking I knew where I was going, I took off in the wrong direction, after [...]
A new perspective »
The game is afoot! To quote Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I have been found on an internet site I joined about two months and some ago to meet people(girls) in Thailand. CoffeeQueen has written me and we’ve talked, she’s coming here for the elections in two days and wants to meet me. She looks great [...]
How to make God laugh »
Make a plan. I can hear the Celestial Choir singing now, ‘HAH-ha-haha..’ But it’s a laugh with me sorta thing I believe. I’m sliding into the 4th, my payday with a negative 135 in my account, my check will bring it up to 435 and that’s the number I have to play with this month. [...]
Pig entrails »
When I came here to Thailand I promised myself I’d eat whatever was put in front of me, tonight I followed through on that promise. I’ve been eating nightly in a soup place, restaurant is a tough definition here. The cook had fed me the last two nights and I’d praised her soup, tonight she [...]
Thai Curious… »
Ok, I know you want to hear about the girls here. For the most part they are like girls everywhere, some pretty, vain, well dressed, pale(skin whitening is common here) and unobtainable, which is good cause I’m not interested either. Others are plain, sweet, friendly, which is the bulk of the girls her. There are [...]
Living on a budget in Thailand »
BUDGET, HAHA, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING! I guess like anywhere budgeting is a balance between bookkeeping and magic, here it’s more so as I found out. When the dominoes all fall over and you have less than nothing, even next month is eaten into you gotta rethink your ‘budget’. Next month I’m taking all [...]
…until you knock over that first domino »
I’m baaaaack. I had a change of luck for a change, a small donation from a relative and I was off to the Thai border to get legal, what a hassle. I left Chiang Mai on a bus and didn’t get to the border till after it closed. I rented a room with two types [...]
