http://frogblog-thaidings.blogspot.com/2008/11/caveat-emptor-bar-for-sale.html
Two for the price of one yesterday. After the. Alain and Jeff debacle. I happened on Dave. Dave had been on several trips to Thailand over the years, and had finally decided to take the plunge. Buy-a-bar syndrome was contracted during the summer of 2008 from young Nok, the early symptoms being multiple rushes of blood to the brain - as well no doubt as to other parts of the body - followed by the rapid onset of insanity. Thai rum purchased from the 7-Eleven across the road. Could it possibly get worse?

Mia in Asia: February 2009
http://miainasia.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. I love it. I can get some hot dogs, big gulps, and pay my taxes all in 5 minutes. How much were taxes you ask? Under $15 for the year; they would have been less if I went to 7-11 and used all of my 7-11 sticker coupons. Ha. Sunday, February 15, 2009. He replies, "Oh. you are very beautiful but I must work tonight." I almost said, "No, no, I meant will the restaurant be busy tonight? Friday, February 13, 2009. One Academic Year Down.

Mia in Asia: October 2008

Thursday, October 23, 2008. My Life is a Comedy. I feel like Will Ferrell's character in Stranger than Fiction when he's making tally marks in his little book trying to figure out whether he's in a tragedy or a comedy. Here are the tally marks that I've made in the Comedy column in my little book:. Take that. Random Buddhist holiday in your face. Booya.". One would think, but it turns out I couldn't stop laughing about it after trying to get on an earlier flight and being told no. It gets funnier: I ...

Mia in Asia: April 2009
http://miainasia.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2009. They say. Great! I write it on the board. "No, no! R-o-s-e-a-double-s." The two teams were Jackass and Roseass. Super. I do have some control over my classroom, I swear. This is certainly funny at first glance, but I really lost control when I realized this was a play on the main characters of Titanic. I was nearly in tears and then these cute little kids start screaming, "I never let go, Jackass, I never let go! Sunday, April 19, 2009. Hong Kong Arrival and Lamma Island. We watc...

Monday, December 22, 2008. When a person has too much time to think. For the sake of writing about something other than Asia, Thailand or Chiang Mai. maybe this is something just about everyone can relate to. Do you ever think about the story your hands could tell? Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Sushi and a Fortune Teller. First of all, I would like to confidently say that I've just had the best sushi of my life. Holy wow. Maybe it was the fact that it was unlimited. Monday, December 15, 2008. I'm really ...

Mia in Asia: June 2008
http://miainasia.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. Avocado halved and in the little space where the pit was a pile of pureed veggies and a sweet dressing. I thought about taking a photo of it, but by the time I had that brilliant idea it was already in my belly. It's the kind of dish that belongs in those fancy food magazines. (Speaking of avocado, Lisa, I read your card again today. Miss you! I think it's a fantastic thing. Great fun great fun! Sunday, June 29, 2008. I'm not all that experienced with meditation, but I've definitel...

http://miainasia.blogspot.com/2009/06/upturned-girl.html
Monday, June 29, 2009. The beautiful thing about being friends with teachers is that you have so many more great student stories to share. I can't take full pride or credit for this gem of a student, but Charles just told me about one of his more advanced students. She came to him after class asking, "What does the word upturned mean? Someone called me an 'upturned girl,' is that.something sexual? What does this mean? Uh, that you like to party a lot? She says, "So.same meaning? July 9, 2009 at 9:47 AM.

Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Don't Let the Jaws of Life Get You Down. The lesson: some may feel like they are clamped within the unforgiving jaws of life. Don't worry. Just when you think it can't get any worse, you'll be spit on the ground. That's your chance to turn the tables. Do it! Don't let the seemingly sweet kitty of life devour you like some sad diseased pigeon. Be the surprise! Some unsuspecting onlooker will really appreciate it and may even say, "What the.".
