Squids are the favourite snack for many people in Thailand but not for me. Call me a snob if you like.

This is Thai Na Road/Thanon Taina, the road that leads to Thanon Patak and home. We walk it several times each day. This is evening time. Beautiful.

This is one of the bars down at Pak Bang Road/Thanon Kata. The tsunami hit this area really bad. You can still see traces of it.

the house altar

This is a very important part of many Thai households - the altar. Through the altar they communicate with spirits and ghosts. Mostly with gifts like food, flowers, incense and water. On the second floor, above the altar and behind the branch is my sisters appartment.

n.n. house, kata, phuket, thailand

n.n. house, originally uploaded by John Barleycorn.

Finally! Thailand! It's hot, almost 40 degrees centigrade. And the atmosphere is very special. A mix of nice spicy smells like food, incense and burning wood combined with the sweet 'n' sour stench of garbage. Interesting. I think I like it.
This is the entrance to the N.N. House where my sister live. So come with me. This is the start of my Thailand Tour 2005.

Tack alla vänner, syrran, brorsan, morsan & farsan för en fantastisk present! Snart ska jag försöka hitta ut till Arlanda så att jag kan utnyttja den. Börjar få lite resfeber. Ska bli så skönt att ligga i solen och skräpa. Det blir någon form av fest fredagen den 22 april. Skickar ut mer information när jag kommit hem - vi ses om 2 veckor!

Anna here I come!!!!

I'm leavin' for Phuket tonight! Thanx for the ride friends and family! Super nice!!

Malte is one happy little dude. Especially when mum is near by.

falling down

felanmäld, originally uploaded by John Barleycorn.

När man hör till den grå massa som varje morgon marscherar till jobbet från förorten så kan sådana här små röda lappar ha en oanad effekt när de upprepas tillräkligt många gånger. Speciellt i kombination med trasiga tåg, SL/Connex kontrollanter och 600 kronors månadskort. Plötsligt dyker D-Fens från Falling Down upp i huvudet på en. Man känner att man är farligt nära att flippa och gå lös på spärrar eller trasiga dörrar med en slägga eller något annat användbart redskap. Om man dessutom läser skämtet "Vi litar på SL!" så hamnar man någonstans mellan tårar och en hjärnblödning. Fan, tänk om man hade samma spegel som SL tydligen använder för att se på sig själv. Då hade man sett världens sexigaste och mest vältränade man varje morgon när man borstar tänderna!
