Okay, so my title is a bit of an exaggeration. No, not the Songkran part, the picture. Just this past week, on April 13th, the Thai New Years Songkran Festival went on in all its awesome glory. What I exaggerated about was the no pictures. The past two years (read about them here and here) I strived to get some… Read more →
I have recently become enthralled, okay, addicted to podcasts. I love so many of them in fact that I find myself wanting to do more housework and laundry just so I can put in my ear buds and listen for hours on end.

I have been living in Thailand for two years now! I know, time flies when you are eating amazing Thai food. Yep, always comes back to food with me. But a food post is for another day.
