en route to rangoon

what a terrific buildup to a complete lack of further posts . . .

never fear, diplocats have returned!

temporarily sidelined due to 1) blogspot being blocked in burma 2) epic jetlag!

so . . . in the interest of brevity, the photos, with a bit of context . . .

brief stop in hong kong

deliciously confusing breakfast at the conrad hotel, bangkok

brief visit to bangkok's brand-spanking new public information resource center
(u.s. mission to thailand)

dining by blood type, bangkok


i happily noted that as blood type a, i was on the proper course as a vegetarian


my wonderful bangkok hosts
