    Bad news for Senora Mus, is that Señorita Mus really likes MSU so far (it also helps they are giving her a significant scholarship, which helps from my perspective) - as the cost of college over here is astronomical…. Now to see if Senora Mus’s enjoyment of Marvin Gaye will help - I doubt it.

    Mus: likely stuck between in a middle of another disagreement between mother and daughter.

    If she goes there I'll switch my already extremely tenuous CFB allegiance from Michigan to the Spartans. Senorita Mus is a better reason to cheer for a school than "I quite like Jim Harbaugh".

    Just took a taxi scooter through Bangkok rush hour. One of the most traumatizing experiences of my life.

    This city is fucking brilliant.

    Try crossing the road in ho chi minh city or Mumbai, or taking a taxi in Rush hour in Istanbul. Now them be experiences!

    To be fair I haven't been to Thailand due to Vietnam wrecking me back in the day...

    Chicago: Slightly jealous.

    Hanoi had the craziest roads for me - you step into the street like Indy in Last Crusade and the traffic just kind of flows around you.
    Bangkok is aces though. But I like most places except Milan.

    18 hours into BKK-TPE-YVR-YYZ. Drinking beer at YVR but my body doesn't really know what day or time we're on. Likely will be home around 8am Saturday having left at 2pm Friday and traveled for close to 30 hours. Crossing the date line is mental.

    Due to the dateline (flying from LAX to Auckland), I technically skipped January the 27th, 2011.

    Supposed to be flying to Thailand at the end of this month via Bahrain for a three week trip. Refunds not yet being offered, but it isn't looking good.

    If/when the refund offer comes, we will have a fair bit of money in the holiday kitty as all but four days of hotels are also refundable. Wife isn't British, so European destinations are tricky with visa issues - a schengen visa appointment is quite difficult to obtain. So looking at possibly Albania in May. Anybody been and have good recommendations on a beach holiday there?
