สวัสดีครับ (sawatdee khrap=hello) (I’m having fun with the Thai keyboard now that I can write Thai!) Well, I was lazy (and sick) last weekend so I didn’t do anything then. I’m making up for that now though, because I’ve finally made it to Sukhothai (สุโขทัย), where I’m currently writing from. What is Sukhothai you ask? […]

Alright, so I’ve returned from my weekend in Bangkok. As it ended up turning out, the only celebrations for the Loi Kratong festival are tonight (as it’s the full moon night…those are important in Buddhism as the Buddha was enlightened under a full moon) so I didn’t actually get to see any of that in […]
Okay I’m alive, I’m alive. I’m in Bangkok and things are just fine. I didn’t get a chance to write last night as I did something completely uncharacteristic of myself and went out with some friends to some bars and clubs, neither of which are exactly my thing at all, but I figured, hey, why […]

Greetings from Kanchanaburi! Yes, that’s right…I’m here in the town that is the site of the bridge over the River Kwai, though I have yet to see it (will do that tomorrow). 3 of my friends from school came up and met me today and we went together. We took the train to get here, […]
Yes, that’s right. I have a new Digital Camera! I bought it a few hours ago here in Bangkok, after a full day of shopping and comparing prices. Shopping is so exhausting! After all my price comparison here on Sunday, where I went to the IT Mall and to MBK, I decided to try a […]
