And just like that, munchkins they weren’t. These are my boyfriends Gop and Nex fighting over me at school. If it were December of 2014, Gop would be writing me love notes and Nex would sneak up to kiss me on the cheek then run away giggling. This year they’re both still trying to getContinue reading “Can I call you Ruffio?”

Half Munchkin Half Man
“Don’t waste your youth growing up” Thanks to “the mother” (whom the munchkins ask about every day) Christmas cards featuring my handsome boyfriend Gop are on their way. Gop’s birthday is on Christmas day. The day my christmas card photo was taken I had been at school asking him what he wanted to bring hisContinue reading “Half Munchkin Half Man”
T is for Thankful
The sun has already set on a holiday that no one in Thailand knows exists, but I wanted to put in my two cents and say that this Thanksgiving I am thankful for progress, perspective, and potential. Progress – I’m not going to lie….the past month and especially the past week has not been greatContinue reading “T is for Thankful”
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”
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”

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?”
