  • Tonight I decided to study my map of Bangkok.  I know it sounds funny since I’ve lived in this city for years, but I have to confess that I usually only go to the areas I am used to.  I know how to get to places and what directions to go, but there are certain…

    In a city of roughly ten million people, there are people almost everywhere you go.   Crowds of people move here and there and the din of noises ring in your ears. Bangkok is a bustling urban city.  It’s easy to just get lost in the crowd.  However, in Old Town Bangkok, time seems to stay…

  • Dogs Swim, Me Eat : iTube at Sukhumvit 39

    This afternoon, Alex and I visited iTube for the first time.  We’ve just recently discovered this hidden secret, just recently opened, in the heart of the city and I have to say it is indeed a cool concept and one that is appealing to dog lovers.  It’s a place where you can imagine spending your Sunday afternoon…

  • Chocolate Crazy at Cherubin, Sukhumvit 31

    It’s been a few days since my last post and much has happened since then.  Well, by “much” I mean I’ve moved from an apartment back into a house, did some unpacking and am slowing getting used to driving new routes to and from the house.  Anyways, after all this packing and unpacking, I am now dreaming…
