Greetings from Chiang Mai, Thailand, where I am sitting in an internet cafe that costs 20 baht per hour to use. 20 baht is about 50 *cents*. Gotta love Thailand...
Seriously, this is a pretty amazing country. The cities are incredibly chaotic, with tons of traffic and people walking around and motorcycles whizzing around corners, and yet there is an amazing peace everywhere as well. And people are genuinely among the friendliest I have ever seen. Not to mention beautiful.
Anyway, I just wanted to say sawasdee (hello) while I had the chance.
Hope all your holiday wishes come true. See you in the new year.
Have an awesome vacation, Anthony, and the happiest of holidays. While you're at it, you can ring in a happy New Year, too. ^^ The same goes for everyone else here-- Happy Christmachanukwanzakah!

Sorry, I have not visited this thread in a while. I was listening to the RENT OBCR and thought I would see how Anthony was. Are you visiting anywhere else other than Thailand? Have a great time!
i am so glad you are having a great vacation anthony! I wish i was in thailand but such is life. Happy holidays!
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Yes Beka now that you mention it a certain song does come to mind.
Glad to hear Thailand is very cool. Motorcycles whizzing around corners sounds really cool.
Well here's wishing everyone happy holidays.

Kapkuhnka (thanks) for posting Anthony! You are making me jealous...I miss Thailand Chiang Mai is a cool Thai city. I went up on a train to visit once during a water festival where everyone sprays each other with giant squirt guns. It is so fun! Hope you enjoy the rest of your visit Anthony, Happy Holidays!
PS-I don't know what your plans are, but if you can get to Hua Hin it is my favorite city in the country :)
Wow, sounds like fun, Anthony! My teacher just showed us pictures of his trip to Thailand- he said to check out kickboxing... Don't know if you're interested but thought I'd pass it along. lol When he told us he went I was so excited, I was like "ANTHONY RAPP IS GOING THERE!" ..and then everyone looked at me like I was nuts...anyway he said to enjoy! Happy Holidays!
"Kali, why is Roger on a cliff?"
"Because the cliff is love, Rachel."
"Oh."
Thanks for such an update! I need to go there someday... Sounds like something to really be experienced...what isn't. but I love Asia, and haven't been to SE Asia yet...(though I again step upon the largest soapbox I can find to support Japan...but I'll step off quickly as to be subliminal-as-can-be about it...)
And thanks for the mini language lesson:) Sawasdee! (And Kapkuhnka to Alix for that mini lesson, too!!!)
I tried starting belitz tapes for korean a long time ago-- what i remember from the tapes of it is "hello, I don't understand" (annyeoung-haseo, mawruge ssumneeda, if anyone wanted to know...that's why i changed the language of the title..heh...)
...I think we'd just love to hear from you now that there's been a major tsunami, but you're far enough away from the coastline according to that update...It's still got to be incredibly frightening and the like though, just to be in the area. I wish the best to all who were effected by it. Nature is so unpredictable..
I didn't see there was an update til today because I'm on vacation-- I can do one better on the internet deal-- it's free at my hotel and while you're supposed to sign up for twenty minute intervals, if you have you're own airport-ready computer you can use their network on it, obviously with no limit (to quote my aunt's boyfriend, Bob, on using their airport sys, "Four bars, baby!").... (Updating from lovely Turks and Caicos...)
Anyway-- thanks for the update, again!
Sorry for rambling, I'm just happy to have internet myself!
I'm gonna run off to go outside (in the shade probably, for I hate getting burned, I burn easily and I hate sunscreen heh *an easily solved paradox*) so people don't think I've disappeared into thin air...
I hope everyone has a lovely winter break/vacation or whatever it may be for every individual here!
