One can’t deny the oddity of this snapshot, which I took on a Saturday afternoon in Bangkok. The “skull” cloud seems to be peeking at the inhabitants of this city, watching… a bad omen? I don’t believe in such, but who knows. Some of my Thai friends seem to think so, wrapped up in their superstition […]
Spent a few nights in a village in the Sepang district of the state of Selangor; yes I am talking about Malaysia. Sepang is filled with plantations, many growing palm oil trees.

Sharing my thoughts… Ever since I had left Narathiwat, I grow edgy about the violent state of affairs in that province.

After two days of hectic schedules and meetings, running around like a headless chicken, I decided to relax and sample some coffee treats. Blue Mountain @ Narathiwat is a nice place, soothing background music, comfortable ambiance, helpful staff and fabulous selection of coffee. The owners, a husband and wife team, are Metha and Amika.
