Life as a novelty. (Alternate title: If I had a dollar for every time...)

clock April 28, 2010 06:31 by author LowellThomson
...somebody asked to take a picture with me, Devin and/or David. I'm not complaining, mind you. But living in a world where I'm a giant compared to the locals and David is "cute" in the minds of the locals, and Devin is exotic makes life interesting. When we're in the le... [More]


David goes SCUBA diving

  They say pictures are worth 1000 words. Well, I'm screaming those 1000 words right now, and it sounds something like this: "Woooohoooo!" In a move that some might view as dad pushing son into something, I'm here to say that's not the case. I have never told ... [More]


Cultural Disconnect

clock March 12, 2010 07:58 by author LowellThomson
One of the joys of traveling (for our family, anyway) is observing cultural disconnects. For example, two years ago when I hiked into a hill tribe village that had only had electricity for a month when we got there, I observed a brand new pickup truck near the rice paddy where the farmers were tak...

We're moving!

Well, we've found a new job! In August, we'll be moving to Bucharest, Romania.  This will be a HUGE change from Thailand in many ways.  (Culturally, climate, geography, and many more.) I'll be teaching at American International School of Bucharest and I'm very e... [More]

This year we didn't really plan much for Thanksgiving.  It's not a holiday here...imagine that.  But we ended up having some of our friends over for dinner Friday night.  The first picture is David taking a picture of the table that he helped decorate.  The second pictu... [More]


Picture of the Week - Khlong Plu Waterfall

This week I traveled to Koh Chang with my Grade 11 homeroom.  On Wednesday, after a morning ropes course we hiked to the Khlong Plu waterfall.  It was spectacular! After the hike in, we spent some time swimming in the cool waters below the falls.  Cold and refreshing. &nb... [More]

Last weekend we were in Bangkok at the tail-end of our vacation hosting my sister Evie and her friend Carrie.  (I've known Carrie since I was a kid also...)  We had a great trip.  On Saturday, Evie and Carrie were lounging in the hotel after a hair-raising experience on the elev... [More]


Picture of the Week - Flooding

clock October 12, 2009 04:37 by author LowellThomson
We've been hit with some pretty heavy rains lately. Today was no exception, and our street got flooded from the rains.  It's not too bad...only ankle deep in the deepest sections, but it still makes life a bit unpleasant.  That said, I'm thankful I still have a house.  L... [More]
