Bangkok in 3 Sleeps

Today' song is: Sunshine of your Love  .. Cream 2005


I am booked into a nice 4 star hotel at about $50 for the 2 nights in Bangkok. Really looking forward to some English television news and a soft bed with a comforter. Simple things in life. Oh yes, and a hot shower and bath tub.

Toady we drove into Wichian Buri for some juice for Jaidan and some chicken legs. The legs were 200 baht for 40. That is about $7 CDN. Yummy, I will have 5 for supper and squirrel 5 away for tomorrow's lunch. I also bought a 180 ml bottle of red wine as a treat. About 160 calories :-) Peter Vella House Red  .. cheap and highly recommended (California).

On the way in we came across a heard of buffalo chillin in the ditch beside the road.


Jaidan takes great delight (prompted by Thavorn) in scaring me with his pet snake (rubber).


We have a threesome for Monday night out in Bangkok. King Arthur, King John, and yours truly, King James. It should be a lot of fun and a great company to spend my last night with.

The Canadian dollar is climbing again, gaining almost  a half baht in the last 3 days. For every baht it goes up, my income goes up 5,000 baht a month :-)

Another country (Japan) has opted in to make programming mandatory in schools.

The Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry has decided to make computer programming a compulsory subject at primary schools in fiscal 2020, followed by middle schools in fiscal 2021 and high schools in fiscal 2022.


I wonder when Ontario, or better yet, Canada wakes up to the global challenge.
