I’m ready to go home. I miss my home. I miss my life and yes, I have to admit, I do miss going to work as well. I miss the certainty of it all. I like adventures, but this flooding is not an adventure I like nor enjoy. I suppose this is what people feel…

It’s my second day after evacuation and I feel somewhat lost in limbo. I do not know what lies ahead. I miss my home and I miss normal daily life. Forced evacuations are no fun even if you get to go out of town. Your mind is always wondering about what next. What happens next?…

Since it’s the long weekend in Bangkok, I thought I’d share with you a funny story (or not) to liven things up. This is a true story yet it is one that makes me smile everything I think about it. It happened just the other evening. Around my house there are lots of birds, and every…
