CP in Thailand: July 2011

The Adventures of an Ajaan in Nan. Thursday, July 14, 2011. In With The In Crowd: Guay Tiao Sportsmen and Lanna Noblemen. This past week, in between leading young minds through the intricacies of irregular past tense verbage and the correct pronunciation of "I feel furious! Fwoo - lee - us! Mostly for my own amusement), my hours were spent hiking trails in the mountains of Nan, eating at the abode of ancient Nan nobility, and playing late night riverside soccer. Last Friday, the seven of us took motorbik...

CP in Thailand: March 2011

The Adventures of an Ajaan in Nan. Thursday, March 31, 2011. This comes as my first-ever blog post written from my kitchen counter at home in San Diego. Now I just have to relearn my old phone and right-side-of-the-road traffic patterns, and what it feels like to not sweat at all hours of the day. Tune in again soon! Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Don't Cry For Me Bandon Sriserm. The truth is. I loved you so much, I'll be back in 3 months. One of my best friends from college, Julia Jacobson, arrived in Nan la...

The Adventures of an Ajaan in Nan. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. 48 Hours in Singapore. Merlions and Tea Time: Singapore, the Southeast Asian curveball. Just when the cheese cravings subsided again, the sound of farang-farang! Way to really throw off my Southeast Asian groove, SG. Am I still in Asia? Is this still 2011? Am I going to get arrested for the pack of Trident Splash gum I forgot to take out of my purse? Marina Bay Sands: doing what's never been done. With a boat before. Katie and my 48-hour vaca...

CP in Thailand: September 2011
http://cpinthailand.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
The Adventures of an Ajaan in Nan. Sunday, September 25, 2011. September has been a hard month to come to terms with. It means finishing (another) semester of molding young Bandon Sriserm minds in the shape of ABCs and present perfect tense. It will be saying goodbye to a few fellow foreign teachers in town, who are off to teach in other exciting places next term. And most regrettably, last week, it was the loss of my grandpa, James C.N. Paul. Another Caitlin-Hannah reunion in Thailand. Last January)....

CP in Thailand: October 2010

The Adventures of an Ajaan in Nan. Sunday, October 31, 2010. October Vacation, Part 2: The Sabai, Sabai Life. Luang Prabang, Laos. Our ride to L.P. Buddhist temple ceremony, Luang Prabang. Wat Xieng Thong Mosaic. Almost like Princeton Reunions: 5 am Morning Alms. Buddha Buddha Buddha Buddha rockin' everywhere: Pak Ou Caves. We made two day trips outside of Luang Prabang. The first was to the Pak Ou caves. On the way home from the caves, our driver took us to a Hmong "Whisky Village" and craft market, whe...

CP in Thailand: January 2011
http://cpinthailand.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
The Adventures of an Ajaan in Nan. Friday, January 28, 2011. A bit of news to start:. I have decided that one year of squat toilets, pit stains, and a highly limited selection of male companions who aren't named "Gookgai" or "Golf" just isn't going to suffice. so I've officially renewed my contract with Princeton-in-Asia for a second year of teaching in Nan! Jing-jing, Aj. Wandee. English Camp: where tuxedos and polo shirts coexist. Thursday, January 13, 2011. My Southeast Asian Other Half in the N-a-n.

The Adventures of an Ajaan in Nan. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Some story-worthy moments from my and Nicole's 5-day trip to Vientiane (which I still don't think I'm pronouncing right) this past weekend:. 2 Sunsets on the Mekong. 4 Close Call at the Sauna. I narrowly escaped some seriously indecent exposure. But hey, for a spa day that cost less than my breakfast, it was pretty awesome. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Excuse Any Typos: I Can't Hear My Own Thoughts. Sometimes I imagine a Thai person in cold New Jers...

The Adventures of an Ajaan in Nan. Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Clip of the Week. The school hired a 3-person Thai cover band to play at school last week. Check out the footage from the mosh pit .Not even the 90 degree humidity can temper these kids' love of T-Pop! Monday, June 13, 2011. Nan At First Sight, Take Two. S when students and Thai teachers alike noticed that they already know one of the farang. City Nan is an attractive. City Nan is a beautiful. Back in the Bandon Sriserm swing of things. Pokemon...

The Adventures of an Ajaan in Nan. Monday, August 30, 2010. X Marks the Spot. I am ashamed to admit it took three months to get the ajaans out to a night club in Nan, but we finally did it. Determined to make it past my usual bedtime of 11 pm, I armed myself with a 30 minute pre-dinner napski and a can of 7-11 espresso. It was to be an epic evening in Nan. Au told us - but gave us translated compliments all night long nonetheless. At the club, we were met by Lak, another 30-something Thai woman we'd met ...
