(Slowly) Back Into The SH Groove
Yeah, I know I’ve been quiet since I’ve landed back in SH, but I’ve just been doing my best trying to reconnect my mind and body as it appears that I had left my head in Thailand… namely on the islandssss, but anyhoots, I’m here — finally had a couple of productive days with the [...]

THAILAND: Bangkok
(In the voice of Andre 3000)…
“Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, Ok now people, (YEAH!)”
Here are the flicks from my “3 nights in Bangkok…. and the world was my oyster….”
First order of business = An absolutely delicious and cheap meal down the street from my guesthouse on Sukhumvit, Soi 1…. [...]

Eat, Drink & Be Merry: I Turn “21″ in Shanghai
So it’s been a rough week of sorts: Realizing I’m back in SH; 6-day work week (Sunday afternoon for all teachers to “prep for the week” aka basically go in and share travel/vacation stories), and just ALL AROUND UNFOCUSNESS amongst all of us — I was a HUGE VICTIM OF THIS, sleeping passed alarms and [...]

One Day It’ll All Make Sense
I keep telling myself this, and I think I’m getting closer…. as I sit here, a day after landing back to my current homebase of Shanghai. Still quite weird for me to think that this is “home sweet home” to me, but it has been for the last 7 months and will continue to be [...]

Grrrr…… SH
This place has it in for me… Since landing here last June, I’ve already had a trip to the police station, hospital and now a little hiccup at the airport. In all of my jet setting in the last month, I’ve had no problemo…. till I arrive back in the ‘Hai. I was one of [...]

I Don’t Know How I Do It Either…
I got a chuckle from this lil note the other day from a dear, dear “mother figure” / former high school teacher and most definitely, life-long friend:
Mimi,

Besos y Amor!!
Just a quick little note of thanks, appreciation and love to all who’ve sent birthday wishes my way. I apologize for the mass-thank you, but in between all my travels… I hope/think ya’ll understand my “on the fly-ness.”
You know, it’s definitely an atypical birthday as since I don’t have anyone who is near and dear [...]
