• The Food in Phuket (Part 1)

    One of the best parts about this trip was running around town finding different foods to eat.  While we were there we ate at quite a few different restaurants, not all of them Thai.  I think we probably could have found better food if we’d gone to a less touristy part of Thailand, but we…

  • China Kills Its Own Citizens

    Back in April I wrote a post about China and how it sold poisoned gyoza to the Japanese.  I then went off on a rant about how China is ruining its world image, because here lately everything that comes out of China is poisonous or defective.  If you’re wondering why I’m so pissed off about…

  • Livita Energy Drink in Singapore

    I saw this Livita on the shelf in the drink section of the grocery store at Whitesands (Fairprice I think) and at first thought it was medicine that had been misshelved. My wife glanced at it and told me that it’s an energy drink that’s also sold in the Philippines under another name. A quick…

  • Thai Ladyboys At The Simon Cabaret

    One of the main attractions of the Phuket area is the Simon Cabaret’s Ladyboy show. Yup, ladyboys. We’d seen a few of them walking around the town.  We even saw a white guy walking down the street holding hands with one.  I don’t know if the guy knew he was with a ladyboy, but he…

  • Hanging Out on Patong Beach

    It wasn’t a total loss when it came to the beach.  We couldn’t sunbathe, seeing as how it was overcast for the whole trip, but that didn’t stop me from splashing around in the ocean like a fool.  I hadn’t been to the beach since I was a little kid, so bad weather or not…

  • Thais Love Animals

    The first time my wife and I walked around Patong looking for a place to eat we happened on a nice restaurant on a side street.  There’ll be more on that later, but when we were seated we looked around and realized that we were surrounded by cats.  It was kind of funny that the…

  • Not Quite What We Had in Mind

    Going to Phuket was something my wife and I had really been looking forward to.  We were excited about the beach and the food and whatever entertainment we could find.  We got a few suggestions from friends as well.  We started making plans well before we went, but somehow those plans wound up getting thrown…

  • Home From Phuket

    Last night my wife and I got in from Phuket, Thailand, safe and sound.  Somehow I was both relieved and dismayed to be back.  It’s always sad when a vacation is over! The trip was only three days long, but those three days were very full!  We did quite a bit, some unexpected, and we…

  • We See What You’re Doing There!

    The cats were not fooled, or amused, when they saw the suitcase. They knew what we were up to, and they weren’t happy about it. We had just packed the suitcase for our trip to Phuket. Posted via email from Bradley’s Posterous
