Hanging out in Bangkok

Six months in Bangkok is still great but not quite as exciting as it was in those first heady days.

One of the things I always appreciate about travel is the opportunity to try something I’ve never tried before.

This wasn’t my first encounter with mighty jackfruit but it was my favorite. Vietnam has some of the best fruit in the world.

Learning Thai is not for the faint of heart. Or hard of hearing. I’ve gotten a few basics down. I think.

I was going for pan-Asian boho chic but then Uncle Richard showed up with a bunch of stuff from East Africa.

I’ve gotten used to being attacked by small fish but today I had a run in with something much larger and meaner

With Uncle Richard leading the charge we descended on Chatuchak weekend market looking for snacks and home goods.

If there is one food I just really like it is noodles. Bangkok has some of the best noodle dishes in the world. And that’s a fact.

There are lots of things to do in Manila but this post is all about eating food, making friends and going to the bank.
