Dispatches From B612: May 2009

http://dispatchesfromb612.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Bangkok is Pretty Banging. Well I’m here on day 3 of my exciting new life in Thailand and things have finally settled down enough to get a post up here. I have yet to find that magical massage parlor where as they’re massaging your back they feed you fine thai delicacies while rats nibble gingerly at your toes, but my sense of statistics tells me such a place much exist. And trust you me, I will leave no massage parlor unfrequented until I find it! God save the children. I Just Met Her! But well the last...

Pirates bike) one night on a most worthy sea vessel and the kicker: one night on an uninhabited island known only to the locals as "Monkey Island"! If that not be thee pirates life 'an ar dunt know what is. And it had a metal door. We tried to open the door. It was locked. "Well that was a good 10,000 Dong down the drain" I thought. After the kayak we took the ferry finally to our towering 3-story pirate vessel that we'd be sailin and spendin thee night on. Let me tell ye, the lass were purty. The next m...

Dispatches From B612: Sa Pa Valley: Rice Wine Country

http://dispatchesfromb612.blogspot.com/2009/11/sa-pa-valley-rice-wine-country.html

Sa Pa Valley: Rice Wine Country. When we last left our intrepid adventurer (why are all adventurers intrepid? Does anyone even know what the word means anymore other than that it always goes before adventurer) he was about to board an overnight train from the city of Hanoi to the mountain town of Sa Pa. Then he did board it. Huzzah! I did at one point meet a water buffalo, but it ran away from me. Linh said it was because I smell like white people :(. The trek lasted about 6 hours with a break in the mid...

Dispatches From B612: September 2009

http://dispatchesfromb612.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

The Party at the End of the Universe. Still every once in a while (and by every once in a while, i mean once every 22 years, 5 month and 3 days) I attend a party of such epic proportions that to not blog about it would be doing a great disservice to the legions of loyal Ed readers. (by that I mean I really like to brag and this is bragworthy). I got invited to the party through a friend of a friend (the only way to get invited to a party for my money). It was starting to sound like a pretty costly party.

Dispatches From B612: June 2009

http://dispatchesfromb612.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Jatujak Market: Buy Two Humans, Get One Free. Jatujak is the world's larget outdoor market and has something like 5,000 stalls. Don't believe me, just look at this. Can your average run of the mill market hold this many "S's"? At the market you can find a booth for literally anything you can think up. I mean it. Go ahead, take two minutes and imagine anything you want. Anything! Wellkeep it clean. Cleaner! On a side note, I added a blogroll to the side bar so if you want to read up about the Thailand exp...

And incase I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and good night). After checking in, we got to checking out (see what i did there? Next time on B612: Ed goes trekking in the mountains, stays with a hill tribe and drinks homemade rice wine. PS Happy Halloween everyone!

Dispatches From B612: July 2009

http://dispatchesfromb612.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Thailand vs. Liverpool. On an introductory sidenote, you'll notice the photos for this entry aren't their usual shaky, out-of-focus standard Ed is famous for, that's because they come from the indomitable Nicolas Marx. If you like them, be sure to give his blog a lookies). In order to express our joint admiration for the Thailand squad (as well as indignant respect for great city of Liverpool and their citizens) our section would occasionally burst into group chant. Some of the more catchy of the jin...

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Mad Scientist Mutant Animal Engineering Lab. About two weeks ago I had all my kids create their own pet. To do so they needed to take two already existing and fully-functioning animals and combine them into a singular abomination before the lord (sort of like what scientists currently do with our crops and cattle (sorry I've been reading too much Michael Pollan lately) . What academic merit did this assignment have? I really don't know why but I really like beelio...
