By Eric | March 21st, 2007 | Add a Comment »
Travel around southeast Asia long enough, and you’re bound to hear a tale or two of someone who got in serious trouble for “sparkin’ it up” in Thailand.

By Eric | December 18th, 2006 | Add a Comment »
Fiji’s just peachy. At least that’s what the Fiji High Commission wants us to believe. It rebuked Britain’s Foreign Office for warning against travel to the islands.

As usual, Wiki is great starting place, but the primo info is on the provided links. Particularly, the History guy link.Anyhow, this poses the inevitable [...]
Dispatch: Introduction to Bangkok
By Eric | November 17th, 2006 | Add a Comment »
Touching down in Bangkok is a bit like starting from a paused position, frame frozen, then skipping real time to go directly into a fast forward mode. Not the old analog FF that simply speeds things up, splitting images with lines of static, but a digital fast forward where entire images, details and scenes [...]
