Yep, three months. Just long enough to get attached to the place. The book will probably end up being 1/2 to 3/4 the size of Yes China and will follow the same format where each chapter is an “essay” that’s not strictly about Thailand. There will be far less emphasis on teaching, though.

Wow that was fast! About 3 months? Course I’ll be buying the e-book, but I have a feeling it’s going to be more of a short story. Too bad it had to end right when you two were hitting your stride there. Well, have fun this CNY and hope everything goes smooth once you guys are back stateside.

Thanks for the comment, Steve. Congratulations on the marriage, but I’m sorry to hear your wife and your mother may not get to meet. This whole process really sucks.

I am already married to a Chinese woman, still it is an extremely long an painful journey to get a tourist visa. I’ve been told by other friends it can take well over a year if at all. Yes, America is the cause of this. You would think that if they are willing to give a blanket pardon to all the illegals there already an offer them a road to citizenship then why such a hassle getting a tourist visa. I would have liked for my wife and mother to get to know each other before my mother passes on. She is 85 and in a nursing home. I doubt we will make it.

“I’ve started playing chess in my free time”

One of my favorites. Sadly, not a decent option available on Steam. Be more than happy to play ya sometime though.

Coincidentally, Hopfrog, I’ve started playing chess in my free time. :D

Ryan, Chinatown was on our list of things to do this last time, but we didn’t make it. I’m sure we’ll tour Bangkok at least once more before we go home, though.

Next time you’re in Bangkok take Sarah to Yeowrat Road. It’s Bangkok’s Chinatown, and it’s crammed with great food, jewelry shops, clothing, etc. It’s over by the train station.
