The Night Safari at the Singapore zoo is one of the attractions that you hear about as soon as you start looking into visiting Singapore. In fact It was one of the first things that I heard way back when I first came to Thailand. “If you go to a chance, go to [...]

Hey look, animals.
I hadn’t been to the zoo since I got a new camera, and I figured it was time. Saturday morning I jumped in the truck and headed down to Khao Kheow.
I started on the opposite end of the Zoo this time, heading directly to the Journey to the Jungle show. There was quite [...]
3 Thai Landscapes
I took all of them today on my way to and from work. First, the sunrise over a tapioca fields
Second, some spirit houses before a sunset. The houses are built to provide the spirits a place to go so they will not bother those who reside inside the nearby. I’m unsure of why [...]
Buddha on the Hill
After a disappointing Saturday, much of which was spent floating around waiting for the wind to gust enough to ride, I grabbed my camera and decided to go find something to shoot. My original goal was to go to the “Sanctuary of Truth” up in Naklua (just north of Pattaya), but I realized that [...]
Tokyo
Here is the sun setting in Japan, you can see the famed Mt. Fuji off in the distance on the right and a majestic All Nippon Airlines plane taxiing down the runway. The majesty of the shot is completed by the stubby but spunky NCA truck in the bottom middle of the scene.

Couch Surfing
It is a great idea.
There are, according to the website, 800,000 available couches across the world on which a person who wants a place to sleep for free can go crash. While I was on my road trip I surfed several couches and had some great times. One of the best things [...]
Commute Part 3 (and other photos)
Over the past few days I’ve collected a few pictures I took with my phone while driving (or stopped at a light). Pigs are frequently transported around like this. It’s actually surprising the truck can handle that much weight. That’s a serious amount of pig.
Occasionally I’ll get stuck in traffic on the [...]
Vroom Vroom
I have had a craving for pancakes for a while now. While I found one restaurant that will make them, they don’t have syrup so you have to eat them dry (or with the ketchup they will smilingly provide when you ask for syrup). I decided it was time to make some myself, [...]
And so they go
Two weeks ago, it was hot. Very hot. 42 C hot. That’s 108 F for those of you playing along at home. Justin was lucky enough to arrive right on the tail end of that little post-rainy-season-pre-cold-season heat wave.
Last week, there was a Thunderstorm intense enough to rival some of the [...]
One pissed off monkey
Justin, a friend from College, arrived last week. He got a bunch of airline miles from his parents and used that and my standing offer for a free couch to jump on a plane and come over here.
Sunday we headed over to Khao Kheow.
It remains a fascinating place to go. It’s so absolutely [...]
