Royal Asia Lodge Hua Hin

Yesterday we negotiated Bangkok public transportation and found our way to Hua Hin via a 3.5 hour "air conditioned" bus ride. We're trying to meet up with our friend Dawn, but so far no luck.

Last night we went to the night market and went wild; I'm going to have a hard time not bringing all of Thailand home with me in my ...

Note to self - always go to the bathroom before travel, just in case.

I noticed a surprising phenomenon - absolutely everyone who gets on the minivan takes one look at me and sits in the back. Are they afraid of falangs? Do I look that bad? The bus driver doesn't even have to count the passengers, he knows that if the seat next to the falang is occupied, the bus must be full.

... speeches were good, except none of them followed the prompt, but at least they were talking in complete sentences that flowed together huh? Friday afternoon, I had a dentist appointment. It went well. I can just barely see the tip of my tooth that we are pulling down, which is very exciting. I'm hoping by the wedding I'll have tooth! After the dentist, I headed over to Debra's were we were having a Euchre party (card game). There ...

... I leave for Bangkok Thursday afternoon, catch the train at 7:30 arrive in Chang-Mai the following morning then leave for Bangkok again Monday night and arrive Tuesday morning. From there the rest of my week is an open book, a few people are going further south to visit the islands again, some are hanging around Bangkok and there's talk of attending the Olympic Torch passing through Bangkok for a good wholesome protest. School is both winding up and winding down; assignments are ...

Today we celebrated our 10 Year Anniversary - yes, you read that right - 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Wow, that sounds like such a long time, but really the years have flown by! We went out for a really nice supper to Sizzlers (similar to Tony Roma's back at home). I had a succulent salmon steak with baked potato and ...

... students and a field trip to a nearby palace in Phetchburi. I've also visited the night market in Hua Hin a couple times. Night market is a bit like the markets in Ghana -- lots of individual kiosks lined up on a certain street offering everything from food to silk pillow covers. The big differences -- on a paved street, at night with lights, clean. But, my bargaining skills will come in handy. I'll focus on the field trip to Phetchburi in this ...

... 1940s whose structure and function do not serve the needs of the small nations in today's world When asked to comment on these allegations, American officials said only that these allegations were comical and not worthy of comment. It's a good thing because had they been worthy of comment it would have been pretty hard for these guys to come up with a rational one. Soidog

... of the evening to match) Luckily, we were kept in check by Kerry's friend Dennis who had obviously done this before. On another occasion we went for dinner with another friend who took us to his "Club". A fantastic place with views across Bangkok. Beautiful teak panelled walls, sweeping staircases, leather chesterfield sofas in the library and fine dining at its best. In fact it was the first time we had eaten real european/international cuisine since leaving ...
