Yesterday started with us going to Putthaisong to do some grocery shopping as we expected Geoff and Amy around noon. So we hopped on the Honda and sped off to town.
The first order of the day was for me to get a haircut. Which I had, followed by the worst possible shaving experience I have […]

Construction of the new hong nam started again this morning. But first sorry that there are no pictures, but I just don’t have the patience to upload anything using the GPRS connection at the moment.
They have completed one wall and the other is fast reaching completion too. But that’s the tricky one, with all the […]

We got the mail today. It had two envelopes. One was for me and contained our legalized translation of the marriage application. So I guess next stop is the amphur, sign the big book and get our marriage certificate.
The other envelope held a surprise. It contained Nan’s wallet. The one that was stolen at the […]

A Good Start

The day started as well as it only can when you open your eyes and a beautiful lady is looking at you and smiling. So I stretched a little, yawned, grabbed her and then we just lay there holding each other for a while. Then somebody knocked on the door.
Yup we had overslept and the […]

We took delivery of the materials for building the new hong nam this morning. The work crew has started the construction. The three guys doing the work are the same that refurbished the house in the first place, and seem to have some sort of idea what they are doing.
And with Nan doing the bossing […]

Driving the Honda Click
September 25, 2007 | 2 Comments
I purchased the Honda Click just prior to our 1 month stay in Sri Lanka to finalize my job over there. So I did not have much chance to drive it around.
But now it’s being used daily, and so far I must say I am happy we got it. The Honda is simply easy to […]

So we got on bus number 9, and it was not to bad. I had heard horror stories of crazy, drugged bus drivers and karaoke machines on full blast. Instead they played a not to bad ghost story of a movie, and then let us sleep.
Quite an uneventful buss trip, with the grand finale of […]

The Papermill
September 20, 2007 | 2 Comments
We got out of bed around 8 this morning. A quick shower and a breakfast later we shuffled down Sukumvit to the Royal Embassy, Kingdom of Norway.
The place is located in the UBC II building at the 18th floor and does not exactly flaunt itself. Not a single sign heralded that this was the safe […]

A Little Bit of Shopping
September 19, 2007 | 2 Comments
As it turned out that the embassy was closed today. We slept in, and eventually emerged from the hotel around noon. I needed to get myself a SIM card for my mobile phone, and Nan wanted a look around.
So we shuffled down the soi and onto Sukumvit road, and navigated down the street. We managed […]
