That lovely scene above was me on Thursday night, before I found out that I have Dengue Fever. Remember a few months ago when I said I didn’t want to be the second newbie who got it? Continue reading “Oh Dear”
Oh Dear
First Houseguest!
Two weeks ago I went into the kitchen on a Sunday evening to pour myself a glass of wine. As I finished pouring I replaced the bottle on the counter and heard a little noise in the corner near the coffee maker. Continue reading “First Houseguest!”
It’s Happening!
After our amazing but very sweaty vacation in Cambodia, I started to seriously consider the possibility that the weather in SE Asia was just always going to be somewhat unbearable. Continue reading “It’s Happening!”
Back to Reality
Well, it was great while it lasted but tomorrow it’s back to the grind! We’re not too sad though as it’s been relaxing and it’s only 3 weeks until we get a few days off for Thanksgiving! Continue reading “Back to Reality”

He got mad at me for stealing his idea last week, so I thought I would tackle a subject that there is no chance he will write about because he doesn’t have my problem. Continue reading “The Sweat Factor”
Creature Encounters
The rainy season seems to be tapering off a bit here in Yangon. We have had a run of a few days with no rain at all, although the humidity is insane. Yesterday we had a crazy downpour in the afternoon but now we are back to sun. I think the changing weather is bringing out some “wildlife” that we are spotting around here and there!
