It is a year to the day since I arrived in this fair city and helped celebrate my brother's birthday.

 

The last couple of months in Bangkok have been wonderful. My teaching schedule has eased a bit as I'm now working for only one school and I've been able to do a little local traveling.

 

I've met many great people and as a wise friend once told me, "When you travel, you don't lose old friends, you make new ones." How true Stell.

 

I continue to be amazed by this country and people. I don't think there's any place quite like Bangkok.

 

This weekend a few of us head to Chiang Mai to see the Royal Flora Expo and explore the area. We'll be driving the 9 hours and I'm looking forward to spending time in the countryside.

 

Friends are coming at Xmas and planning to visit the Andamman coast.
