Illegal Migration

This is the turkey my buddy, John, will be serving tomorrow.  It may look like any other turkey, but this 12 lb illegal migrant entered Thailand via the US Embassy.  

Last December, Thailand banned uncooked poultry from the US, so American turkeys are difficult to find in Bangkok.  Fortunately, another friend works at the Embassy, so we won't be eating Irish turkey for Thanksgiving.

I just noticed that this guy is in the wrong movie.

Johor Bahru Border Crossing

Miles of motorcyclists waiting to cross the border from Singapore to Johor Bahru, Malaysia.  There are miles of cars, too, but it's more comfortable and the line moves much faster.

Salaries are big in Singapore and rent is cheap in JB, so some people make this trek everyday.

In Love By The River

In Love - that's the name of the restaurant  where Nuch and I had dinner tonight. Great view on a cool, breezy evening.

Some unsuspecting customer will have the message "Life is Struggles" written underneath the foam and leather of their sofa.



On the other side there's a message in Thai that says "Life Must Go On"
