The MacLeod Thaimes: November 2014
http://themacleodthaimes.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Our Adventures of moving to Asia, again. Monday, November 3, 2014. I started this blog a year ago, but forgot about it. Mary and I had an almost identical experience tonight that reminded me to go back and finish this blog. Here you go. We've actually seen a flying fox before, at the zoo in Singapore. The version we saw in Singapore was the Malaysian Flying Fox which is actually slightly larger than their Thai relatives. We've spotted these bats on almost the exact same dates two years in a row. If y...

The MacLeod Thaimes: May 2014
http://themacleodthaimes.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Our Adventures of moving to Asia, again. Saturday, May 24, 2014. Really Vancouver, you can do better than this. The coup was in THAILAND. I can't be too critical of this Canadian journalist though, we've had American friends and even relatives make the same mistake about where we live. Friday, May 23, 2014. Have you ever wondered how being governed by a military junta would affect you life? Bases my experience today in Thailand, there is little impact. Here's how my day went:. Work, work, work. Today was...

The MacLeod Thaimes: March 2014
http://themacleodthaimes.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Our Adventures of moving to Asia, again. Sunday, March 23, 2014. I've posted a lot on the protests here recently. They're still going on, it's dangerous sometimes, blah, blah, blah. Enough said. We had a great weekend in Bangkok! Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Here I am waiting for my beef and guiness pie. Mary enjoyed fish and chips. Monday, March 3, 2014. This is what things looked like at the Asok intersection a few weeks ago. Only one minor incident reported today. Two grenades were thrown outside the ...

The MacLeod Thaimes: April 2014
http://themacleodthaimes.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Our Adventures of moving to Asia, again. Wednesday, April 23, 2014. Australia Part II: Sydney. After spending our first two days in Melbourne we took an overnight train from Melbourne to Sydney. The trip took just under 12 hours and was a similar quality trip to riding Amtrak in the US. The trip was almost entirely in the dark, so there wasn't much to see along the way. For our second day in Sydney we found our way back to the city center by bus and then hopped on a ferry out to Manly. Bondi is south...

The MacLeod Thaimes: October 2014
http://themacleodthaimes.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Our Adventures of moving to Asia, again. Friday, October 31, 2014. Rain Rain Go Away. It's that time of year in Bangkok when residents start wishing the rain would finally stop falling. Previous years have brought fears of flooding, but thankfully that has not been the case this year. Flash flooding is always a problem during the monsoon season, but widespread floods have not been a significant concern around Bangkok this year. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The MacLeod Thaimes: September 2014
http://themacleodthaimes.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Our Adventures of moving to Asia, again. Sunday, September 28, 2014. It was our fourth time visiting the Kanchanaburi area. The last being about a year ago. After having lunch and walking on the famous Bridge Over the River Kwai, we followed the River Kwai Noi up into the mountains to our lovely riverside resort: Erawaan Escape. An escape it was. The same kind that fish spa owners use to stock their tanks for fish pedicures live in the swimming pools, some getting very large! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The MacLeod Thaimes: August 2014
http://themacleodthaimes.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Our Adventures of moving to Asia, again. Wednesday, August 20, 2014. This year I am lucky to have 15 wonderful students in my Year 1 classroom. That's fifteen 5 and 6 year olds that are members of the Echidna class. Can you pick out the 11 different countries represented? I definitely work at an international school. Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Happy Thai Mothers Day. After catching an extra hour of sleep this morning, I headed down our street to the train station around 6:30 AM to catch some pictures of t...

The MacLeod Thaimes: Loy Krathong
http://themacleodthaimes.blogspot.com/2014/12/loy-krathong.html
Our Adventures of moving to Asia, again. Monday, December 29, 2014. Loy Krathong is an annual holiday in Thailand. It's not one that people get off work, but it's one that is widely celebrated here and in other Buddhist countries. As with any holiday anywhere, you can ask people what it's about and you'll get a range of answers. Most Thai holidays fall on a full moon, which is an important part of the Buddhist Calendar. My students' krathongs ready to go! A few friends from church and our krathongs.
