Not About Elephants or Clothing

There are 3 things that I never get tired of looking at in Thailand. Don’t expect to see beaches, buddhas or shimmy shimmy coco-whaaaaaaats on this list. That’s actually not what I do every day. Speaking of coconuts though, I did have one today that was the size of my head; closer to literally thanContinue reading “Not About Elephants or Clothing”

I bet you didn’t know

I bet you didn’t know that many Indonesians believe smoking can cure….not cause….cancer, autism, and acne among other things and that there are entire medical practices devoted to “doctors” blowing smoke into your ears and nose. Sign me up. I bet you didn’t know that in China there is a theme park called The KingdomContinue reading “I bet you didn’t know”

Return to Munchkinland

When I pulled up on my moped, I saw no munchkin heads peaking over the fence, heard no yelling…and where is the cat? As it turned out, the munchkins had social workers visiting to put on a meditation workshop. My initial thought was it may be working because it was unusually quiet. But, by theContinue reading “Return to Munchkinland”

This probably didn’t happen to you today

Things that probably didn’t happen to you at the mall today: You probably did not get a lugee hawked on your arm by a shop owner who 1. Felt no shame over this and 2. Did not aid you on removing it. You probably didn’t feel something scratching your foot, assume it was a ratContinue reading “This probably didn’t happen to you today”

If you give a moose a muffin

Backpackers Need Not Apply

I’m in the process of re-doing my website and of course when I say “I” I mean Carlie is in the process of doing it. “I” maxed out my wordpress publishing for dummies skillset a long time ago. Several people have suggested I throw up an FAQ section for people who are interested in teachingContinue reading “Backpackers Need Not Apply”

Summer Lovin’

So I’m dating a 16 year old ladyboy named Bob. A May December romance that no one saw coming, except maybe Bob. See Bob’s parents needed a little Bob break, so they sent him to stay with his uncle in Phuket for the summer. His uncle promptly enrolled him in the nearest English school withContinue reading “Summer Lovin’”

Zayn Said Whaaaaa?

In the hopes of keeping the shop alive for the rest of their summer break, the Minions were all to happy to send me off to BKK on a buying trip. But as we finished lunch, one Minion started to change her tune a little. Bible: Teacha I think you cannot go Bangkok. TeachaContinue reading “Zayn Said Whaaaaa?”
