Off to the City of Angels (Again)

Well this is becoming so routine! Again, I will be heading to Bangkok for the weekend. This time around there is this major Buddhist holiday called the Loi Kratong festival. I’m not quite sure of the significance but I know it involves lights and small boats (banana leaf I think). The main place it is […]

Taking the Train Back to Hua Hin

Well today wasn’t terribly eventful. We got up bright and early (6:15am) to get to the train station for the train at 7:19am. It was rather nice to make that walk to the train station and not have everyone asking us where we were staying (and offering rooms) as they were when we arrived. As […]

"Bridge on the River Kwai"

Well last night was a bit rough, though I’m a bit unsure why. I was cold at times (we had a fan that was on too powerfully) and my roommate had the blanket. I turned down the fan later on. I think I slept for a little bit, though not quite as long as I’d […]

Well, I dropped my Ethics in the Media class. Today was no better and I realized that I would be rather miserable spending 7 more weeks in the class. So I dropped it and replaced it with a class called Buddhism East & West, which is taught by my Intro. to Buddhism class last term, […]

The first day of class all over again!

Right, well today it was back into the routine of school for me, with a brand new set of classes. Things were really straightforward. First I had Ethics in the Media which sounds really interesting, in looking at different codes of ethics for the media of different countries. One of the things we’re going to […]

Calling all Tech Nerds!

Well I have made it back to Hua Hin in one piece and it feel good to be “home” per say. It’s odd but being back in Thailand real did feel like I was coming home. It’s kind of nice, and as fun as Vietnam was, I’m gad to be back. It’s kind of funny, […]
