Part of the reason for my trip home was to stop by the UK for the Birmingham furniture show.
Here's a look at my company's stand.

Edinburgh
I wouldn't normally post about a 2 hour layover, but there was a beautiful sunrise at the Edinburgh airport.
It's also the first time I have used a cashier-less checkout counter - that I couldn't figure out, so the Manager had to do it for me.
Haggis to go. If I was on the way back to Thailand I would have bought it for my Scottish pals.
and one of the top 5 Eggs Benedict I've ever had.

Little Angels
A recent fad in Thailand has pushed the boundaries of creepiness. There is a famous Shaman (not sure if that is the correct word), that is possessing life-like dolls with spirits (or angels) to bring good luck to the women that carry them around. And by "carry around" - I mean take them everywhere and treat them like a living child.
It got out of hand when there was a big fuss on a domestic flight when the flight attendant forced a passenger to put their doll in the overhead bin. The airline has now made it an official policy that passengers must buy their "Little Angel" a separate seat unless they want it treated like a carry on.
Cold Spell
In Thailand, I don't need to check the weather channel. When I see dogs wearing monk-like robes, I know the temperature has dropped below 72 degrees.
