Letters from Thailand

For some reason the past few weeks I've been reading only immigrant stories. Letters from Thailand given to me by Lois with the touch of a genius (Thanks again!). It was like I was listening to the Chinese in our family. Very insightful and lots of fun!
Later on I followed the genre with Almost French, an Australian adjusting in France. I love that sweet and sour combination in a book. Highly recommended!

So, there I am, with no book to read and a morning off (pathetic, I know...but just the am off). I woke up with excitment at 7 am and set out to Banglampoo where a chocolate croissant and fresh pineapple breakfast awaited. A quick meeting with the Romanian Backpackers to finalize some of the last details before diving into a 2 months South Asian adventure. Good luck guys!





Then off to the hidden used book stores. Some of them are real treasures in which you can get lost for hours. Eureka! A Thai Hawker food book called...r u ready? ...Thai Hawker Food for All, naturally...with pictures and everything...





The Dog Year's coming...and we'll be there reporting it all from China Town, Bangkok. :)

Fain Tuk tuk-ul parca ne e dor de o plimbarica cu el! Mami ar mai vrea si niste poze cu voi! Va pupam si La Multzi Ani de noul an chinezesc si de ziua lui PUIU, dragul de el!

I really like the picture of the stack of books. Your blog is really interesting. I like the way you tell sort of a story to describe the shots you take.

The picture with the blue and yellow bus(?) is really great too. The composition is nice, and the color is vivid.
