Good luck with the wedding and hope you don't need those hip-waders, but if you do maybe you'll start a new trend ('interrr' as the Thais would say).

Roy.

I really like your attitude about your wedding – you have a very healthy perspective on it, especially the amazing story about your grandparents' wedding.

I remember listening to a talk by Ajarn Brahm and he said that sometimes when things don't go as planned, it can create memories that will last a lifetime. Perhaps a wedding in hipwaders will indeed be the one marriage everyone remembers and talks about in your circles.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that though. Thanks for the update. 🙂

Amazing that in your picture of the grocery at Central Chidlom there are what appear to be beer bottles lurking on the top shelf…. I would have thought those essential supplies might have been the first to go…..

Bummer to hear about your interview, but things'll be dry and back to (mostly) normal in a month, as they always are. I'm constantly amazed at how Thais can just deal with a massive problem and move on.

Thanks for the wedding wishes – check back mid-November to hear how it all went down. Hopefully without a snorkel. 🙂

Well, this will certainly delay my flight over there for a job interview.

Congrats on the wedding, man. Hope that everything goes off smoothly. You know, in a relatively speaking sense.
