Morlaming it up at the Wat
January 31, 2008 | 3 Comments
Yesterday there was a Morlam concert at the village Wat. Morlam is music style here in Isaan, and it very popular. So we took the kids over to “listen music” as Nan put it.
We arrived early and spread out our bamboo mat, and listened to the boxed music already blaring out of the loudspeakers. And […]

A Visit to the E.R
January 29, 2008 | 5 Comments
Ever since I was in La-La land, I have been struggling with a re-occurring eye infection. Basically what the doc told me back there was that my tear canal clogs up, and gets infected. It was “cured” back there by medication and some eye drops. But since it has come back twice here in Thailand. […]

The Dark Side
January 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Nan is slowly getting familiar with her computer. And it did not take me long to to turn her to the dark side. Her Acer lap top came complete with a karaoke program, and some fifty games. Everything a Thai girl needs really. She has also discovered the gossip at Sanook.com, and is now concentrating […]

Computing Nan
January 13, 2008 | 1 Comment
Nan has her laptop computer now. And the first couple of days she was more or less circling around it, eying it suspiciously. Until I came home from shopping groceries and found her intensely concentrating on a game of pool on it. I have also filled it with music…but the real clinch is she discovered […]

January 11, 2008 | 7 Comments

This seems like […]

The Isaan Aviator
January 3, 2008 | 1 Comment
The sun was up, and the wind…well just a tad too much. But I simply had to get out there and try out the Flying Fox. This time with both props pushing it forward.
So I went out into the Putthaisong Aerodrome (Somchais rice paddy) and launched it. Lo and behold, it flew! Yup, and I […]
