Flying in Tomorrow
June 1, 2007 | 2 Comments
Yup, I’ll be seeing Nan tomorrow. And I have a sneaking feeling that I will be a little bit useless at work today. Luckily all my colleagues are in the same situation with all their loved ones over the hills and far away. So there is some understanding to be had…well…. and a few jokes […]

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 […]

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 […]

This and That
May 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Don’t really have anything new to add today. Nan is spending the mornings at the farm farming, and me am I am working. We still call each other daily. That is, she SMS me and I call. We’re both counting down the days until June 2nd. I had to move my trip one day forward […]

She is Planting
May 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Just in with a short update on Nan and her activities today. The lass asked me the other day what food we like to eat in Norway. And I must have talked to much about our relationship to the potatoe instead of rice. So naturally she spent the day at the farm planting potatoes. Talk […]

Communications

One thing is to communicate with your teerak across the language barrier. Another is to do it over a terrible phone line. I often get some kind of answering service instead of Nan when I try to give her a call. Usually it’s the Thai service I get.
Fine, so I try again, and after a […]

Home, Sweet Home

As Nan was chatting away about her day the other day, she said something. I did not quite register it right then, and she uttered them so casually that over a terrible mobile phone connection, I may have missed them completely. But it made me realise why I am falling for this wonderful woman, and […]

Well, I moved again. This time under my own domain, using the Wordpress blog thingy. Sorry for all the confusion folks, but from now in this will be my permanent address. I am here to stay. After all I spent most of the weekend fiddling with all the settings.
Nan on the other hand spent […]

Nan the Hut
May 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Nan is going about her life in her Isaan village as usual. She has also learned a new English word. The word she has learned is “hut”. It turns out that her house. The house we plan to live in while we figure each other out is actually a hut, according to Nan that is.
I […]
