In my home town there is a street called Tore Hunds Gate. This is quite odd, since most towns in Norway may have a street or a square or something named after his opponent, St. Olaf, Norways infamous King who turned Norway into a Christian country. Well, he did it by slaughtering everyone who did […]

Speedy Trees

We had spent the morning driving around and also bought the Honda Click, and returned home with the car load of fertilizer for the rice paddies. Me and Nan’s uncle offloaded the truck, and I went to park it.
So I backed up into a driveway to get the bloody thing turned around and there was […]

Yak-yak Too Much
July 12, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Nan had quite a day at the hut. The tiling of the floor is going nicely and she reckons it will be completed sometime tomorrow. But she is discovering that being the big boss is not always so easy.
“Today have to yak-yak to much, teerak!”
“Why, what happened”
“Somebody do wrong, and I have to yak-yak”
“Really […]

More About Colors

Nan is doing her best to confuse me about the hut these days. She is painting and have completed the ceiling, and started on the windows. But now I do not have a clue what colors she is using. When we where there, the inside walls where going to be egg-shell white, and the floors […]

Transportation in the Sticks
July 3, 2007 | 9 Comments
During my last trip I spent a good deal of time looking at motorcycles. I simply cannot afford to buy a car at this time. At least not a new one. And buying a used car in Thailand strikes me as less than wise.
But a motorcycle is affordable, and don’t cost much in terms of […]

Well here in La- La land my fever is gone, but I still feel like a truck ran over me. I’ll keep this short as I do not have the patience at the moment to concentrate much. Kind of hard between cleaning the snot out of my nose, sneezing attacks every 5 minutes and quite […]

My Nose Runeth Over
July 2, 2007 | 2 Comments
My throat is itching. I am coughing every 5 seconds or so. My nose is running over and I have a headache and my temperature is 38,1 degrees. In other words…I am not quite well these days.
As I talked with Nan yesterday evening, I let go of a cough, followed by a sneeze. Big mistake!
“Are […]

Gone Fishing

On arrival in the village it we were greeted by Luk Dik, Nan’s mongrel of a dog. He was on his best behaviour and did not jump up on me once. Her mom was off visiting a neighbour, so we just had a shower, and Nan cooked up something to eat. Then we went fishing.

We woke up the next morning and decided to stay in bed for a while. So we did not get up until around noon. We checked out of the hotel, and headed for Surin. Since my GPS did the navigation it chose the shortest route. So we actually drove trough Phutthaisong and passed only a […]

A Wedding in Isaan

At the house, it was people milling about everywhere. I managed to get into the house, and stuffed the money for the Sin Sot and my present for Nan, plus the rings into my pockets, and then I was led across the Soi to her uncles house. With me was some nieces, aunts and uncles.
