The Looove Barometer
May 30, 2007 | 3 Comments
This may sound familiar to a certain regular reader and commenter in here. A while ago he presented the theory of percentage of marriage on his blog GeoffandAmy.com. I swear this is complete coincidence but it just goes to show that there are many similarities in Thai- Farang relationships.
This also goes back to the […]

Nothing Really
May 29, 2007 | 2 Comments
Got nothing new to tell you today. Nan is doing her thing. They had “big rain” for 4 hours yesterday, and a couple hours of “small rain” today, which is good for the rice.
We did some happy small talk about what we did today, some mushy-cosy love talk, and I made her giggle by grossly […]

Big Talk
May 28, 2007 | 12 Comments
Nan was a bit down yesterday. She have been thinking to much lately and she is a bit scared about our relationship. The crucial point is: will I stick around? There is plenty of evidence in the village that the farang variety of mankind is not to be trusted in that regard.
There are 4 farang […]

What a Morning
May 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Again I am awake at a stupid hour on a Sunday morning. But this time It’s my own doing. I never could sleep well after a party, and yesterday we had a big send off for one of my colleagues who had enough and is returning to Norway. Naturally we did our level best to […]

House
May 26, 2007 | 3 Comments
It’s Saturday morning, and all is well in la-la land. Over in Isaan, Nan has decided to clean the hut again. The hut is her house, the one she does not live in because of the ghosts. It enjoyed a brief period as a house, but has been downgraded to a hut again by Nan […]

Well, that was my final week in the field, and one more week sitting in the office until it’s time to board that flight. Which means one more week of daily blogging.
It’s going to be great to go home. That is what it feels like this time around. Going home to Thailand, Isaan and Nan.
However […]

Hair and Mobiles
May 23, 2007 | 4 Comments
Life in Isaan is going as normal. Nan is finished doing work at the farm, and is turning herself into a lady again, according to herself. So she spent 4.5 hours at the salon yesterday fixing her hair. It cost her 500 baht, and was apparently worth every second, as she bumped into an old […]

I Need Some Sleep
May 21, 2007 | 7 Comments
There is a lot of things that are different between me and Nan. First of all, she is a girl and I am a man. And if that is not difficult enough, she is a morning person and I am a creature of the night. Or I used to be. But age must be creeping […]

Driving to Isaan
May 20, 2007 | 4 Comments
Plans are firming up for the next trip. Yes I know. Thailand and plans don’t mix. So me and Nan has come up with a brilliant plan that should for the most part eliminate this problem. The solution is highly influenced by her, and I will let her take full credit for it. It is […]
