					<description><![CDATA[Tuk-tuks and Bangkok go together like spaghetti and meatballs. So much so that even those who haven't been to Bangkok can probably tell you the size and shape of your standard tuk-tuk. I thought it was a pretty easy too, until I was stuck in the back of a taxi and this tiny little  [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thailand is rightly known for its amazing food, a categorization that also applies to its many snacks and desserts. But what often gets overlooked is just how experimental Thailand is when it comes to recipes. Often times you'll have two or more ingredients thrown together that make no sense at all - but somehow work. I've written about this before with Thailand's version of an ice cream sandwich, but the other day I found something that topped it - the Double Mango Sticky Rice Blizzard at Dairy Queen.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I realized I had a low-level eye infection. Nothing serious, but I clearly needed to get my eyes checked out, so I headed to the hospital. In Canada, you only go to the hospital when you have a serious problem because there are little clinics of all types all over the place, but in Thailand, you just generally go to the hospital for any ol' thing.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[From time to time in Bangkok you see some odd signage…strange sentences or weird words or context that’s really inappropriate. Usually it’s an innocent mistake or a spelling error or an unfamiliarity with the English language, or cultural ignorance. But sometimes you have to wonder if it’s some weird amalgamation of all of the above.  [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As the world’s 9th-largest exporter of coconuts, it’s no surprise that they’re available pretty much everywhere in Thailand. But recently I’ve noticed something interesting – it seems that the resourceful Thai coconut industry has melded the humble drupe (I looked it up, it’s a drupe, not a nut) with some pretty crazy technology to produce some very weird  [...]]]></description>

Ladies of the night leaving offerings at shrines on their way to work? Check. So it goes with heat and cold as well – often you’ll be sweating  [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you’ve been following the recent spate of Nazi-themed controversies in Thailand, you’ll understand when I say that the Land of Smiles often has a less-than-firm grip on the concept of political correctness. Not that that’s always a bad thing – sometimes it’s downright hilarious. Often, the best canvas for this horrifying/brilliant mashup of ideas  [...]]]></description>

It’s probably more of a cultural issue, come to think of it, but let me pose a query: do you think women should shave their legs? It’s an open-ended one,  [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I’ll never forget the first time I walked into a Thai government office. It was the tax office on Sukhumvit 11, and I was told to go upstairs to some processing room. I was shocked when it was nothing more than bureaucratic peons sitting amid shoulder-high piles of foolscap paper, bound by plastic rope into  [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I happened to be strolling through the campus of Chulalongkorn University the other day, recalling the halcyon days of yore when I managed to completely avoid the traditional university experience and instead start working. At any rate, it really is a beautiful campus, with lots of trees, plenty of green space, and students in their black and white uniforms hustling to classes or lectures or...whatever it is that students do in Thailand. It seems to be a much different experience than we have in universities in Canada. It seems somehow from a more quaint time, where the students are less jaded and bitter - I half expeected to see pep rallies and cheerleaders. Anyway, as I was strolling I stopped to get some coffee and have a seat, and saw this sign on the bench. ]]></description>
