I'm guessing it's going to go north, but then I'm only guessing

The heavy rains of the rainy season generally come in from the South China Sea. No hurricanes or cyclones yet.  Something is gaining strength out there.  Will be interesting to keep an eye on.

Bring on the 'hoe' he'll be back on the road right after

No skid marks, no damaged road signs, seems like he was airborne

Electricity went off yesterday during a heavy downpour

Pageviews 990,272 to date. Probably won't reach the 1 million mark till after the low/rainy season. It will definitely be a cause for a big celebration.   
Rained hard last night just as I was leaving for a party.  Electricity went off all over town. By the time we passed the airport runway the roads were bone dry. My bucket has 2 inches of water, which fell in about half an hour.   

Looks like saturday is corn on the cob day.  Local school kid pedals around the neighborhood saturday mornings selling corn. I tip well, so I guess I'm a regular customer now.


Been separating plastic from my trash. Everything you buy comes in plastic bags, even a pack of cigarettes.  I always have to say NO  PLASTIC. This country has got to be one of the worst when it comes to plastic

Ruenmai Karaoke Restaurant Birthday Celebration

Not extremely fond of karaoke. I brought earphones, just in case. The voices were actually quite good, so I did not use the earphones. 
Ole's fortysomething birthday and I had a really super time. The company was super, the food really tasty.


The restaurant is quite impressive, very popular by the looks of the parking lot.  Well organized, service was just outstanding.
