Tone Deaf in Thailand: Leaping to Extremes--Postcards
http://tonedeafinthailand.blogspot.com/2015/04/leaping-to-extremes-postcards.html
Tone Deaf in Thailand. Friday, April 24, 2015. Leaping to Extremes- Postcards. Every year when I go to Hong Kong, I always stay here. It is ugly but it is interesting. But for a claustrophobe, it's a challenging place to stay. I can almost stretch my arms from one side of my room to another. And because I always stay for a month, I usually redecorate. The view often leaves something to be desired. By the end of the thirtieth day, I'm usually awash in nausea. It is Hong Kong- but in the New Territories.

Tone Deaf in Thailand: April 2015
http://tonedeafinthailand.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tone Deaf in Thailand. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. The Fire This Time. Someday I will learn never to join a Facebook discussion in which anything important is being tossed around. But yesterday was not that day. When I saw this conversation (abbreviated for sanity’s sake), I felt as though another point of view might not go amiss. There were two red flags here, the first being a true canard, as well as a cliché, and the second being “all good things take time.”. 8220;Oh I see- it's not the rise in the cos...

Tone Deaf in Thailand: August 2015
http://tonedeafinthailand.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Tone Deaf in Thailand. Monday, August 24, 2015. Man on the Bridge. Only once did I ever feel threatened, in broad daylight, when a dog in my neighborhood barked with a note of authority that verged on outright attack and refused to back down when I told him to go. I picked up a rock and we were both stunned when it hit him hard on the flank. He never bothered me again. There were stories in the Bangkok Post. The perception of wealth was as important as wealth itself in Bangkok’s neighborhoods. ...When pe...

Tone Deaf in Thailand: White Out
http://tonedeafinthailand.blogspot.com/2015/04/white-out.html
Tone Deaf in Thailand. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. When I'm sick, I become obsessive-compulsive, which is so far from my usual behavior that it always comes as a shock to me when I fall into it. A week ago, still feeling miserable but ambulatory, I went to a supermarket for provisions and came home with a copy of Vogue. Or more importantly, how often do you see a woman who is truly dark taking that pride of place? If she's the First Lady, I don't think that counts.). The faces in the advertising pages?

Tone Deaf in Thailand: March 2015
http://tonedeafinthailand.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tone Deaf in Thailand. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Smashing All of My Circuits. There were surprises- the silence of the residential area where I stayed, with so little traffic that this small dude ruled the street. And flowers that had to have been invented by Dr. Seuss- bottlebrush flowers that are usually found in Australia and India. Links to this post. Monday, March 30, 2015. Around the World in Five Days without a Passport- Part One. I live in a city that's a collection of small towns. Los Angeles...

Tone Deaf in Thailand: Mapping on Foot
http://tonedeafinthailand.blogspot.com/2015/04/mapping-on-foot.html
Tone Deaf in Thailand. Thursday, April 2, 2015. I never feel that I've visited a place until I've walked it, which of course makes Los Angeles a challenge. However I was staying in what might one of the city's most walkable neighborhoods and I spent a large portion of my first day there on foot with a camera. I saw so much in such a small area on my first day: art deco buildings studded with enigmatic names (Rock Etiquette? Later that evening, a strong, hot wind came out of the hills and slapped carefull...
