The Quickest Update Ever

Music: We seem to be listening to a lot of Sublime and Hoy Chip.  ‘Laiiiid baaack.’ So, last you heard, i was walking around Melbourne, soaking in Australia. Things have changed!  I caught a flight to Bangkok to meet Ashleigh and Stewart and Kyle and start a bit more backpacking before heading home.  We’ve done: [...]

Leaving Asia Asian

I have left Asia! I felt good and ready and alright about it all, but obviously I am super sad to say see you! Asia will always be on my mind though, like I could help it! There were so many differences that I became acustomed too, I think I’ll experience a little culture shock [...]

Yes! I Want Massage!

Music: Crank That Soldier Boy I’m gonna keep this short and sweet.  This is just to give you an idea of Jess, Ashleigh and my holiday in Thailand.  So the girls arrived almost at the same time to Thailand.  Ashleigh came from Japan for her winter break from Amity and Jess came from Australia for [...]

That Thai Smile

Music: Nite Jewel (i love numbered lists!!!) 1.  They Eat So Much- and they want you to eat just as much.  There were numerous times that I have had this conversation with my Thai Sister: Sister: Lindzy!  Are you hungry!? Me: No, not really. Sister: Bha!  Let’s go. Me: Where? Sister: To have dinner. Me: [...]

Santa and the Blazing Sun

So it’s about 3 days untill Christmas.  Coulda fooled me. It’s about 30 degrees, blue skies, the sun is shining and, like last year, I’m in a school teaching English.  There is no holiday for the birth of Jesus Christ, nor are there any Christmas lights, Xmas trees, Xmas presents, Xmas eggnog or any of [...]

Decisions decisions decisions…

As anyone could see by reading this here bloggy poo, they could not deny that travelling has had an effect on me. After a year in Japan, I was antsy and needed a change ( 23 years in the same region will do that to ya).  I left my amazing (at times… mostly in memories) [...]

I’m Not Complaining but…

Things I’m Sick of: 1. Rice (boiled, steamed, fried, sticky, sweet, banana leaf’d, coconuted, bagged, bowled, omeletted, I don’t care, blech!… actually, I reckon i’d still appreciate some Japanese sushi). 2. Singing the song Zombie 3. Eggs 4. Morning Glory 5. Noodles (anyways) Things Thai People Like: (see above)

School! is! Cool!

music: the Thai National Anthem. Every morning (now that I am volunteering in a rural school in the NorthEast of Thailand) I stand in a big grassy field with 1000 students behind me, and 20 teachers next to me.  We face the lowered flag and a couple of students, while saying some speech, raise the [...]

Eating Grasshoppers in Chiang Mai

Music: Jose Gonzales As one of our last adventures, Nat and I decided (for Leah) that the three of us would go on a three day trek in the outskirts of Chiang Mai.  After our first meeting, buddy at Chiangmai inn had us convinced that this would be well worth the bling.  While it wasn’t that [...]

Saying Goodbye Can be Positive

Music: the shins/feist/postal service “What are you gonna miss most about me?” He’s got honest eyes, but a five year olds smile.  “I told you last night… That you’re full of beans.”  “Full of beans… Like farts?” Days of ‘Beans beans the magical fruit…’ come back to mind…. “Haha.  No.”  I hate to be that [...]
