I'm a Canadian guy living in Tokyo. Half the year, I teach at a university. Half the year, I write textbooks. During the university gig, I have to stay in Japan. For the writing, I often just take my computer, jump on a plane, and head somewhere hot with good beer. Thailand is my usual getaway for this.

If you pretty much hate boy bands and other pre-fab soul-searching music, you'll love this. This is by the same guy, Spanish Mike, who made the "One semester of Spanish love song." This guy is a genius at ripping on musical genres.

I recently hear a rumor (and a vicious one, at that!) that Suan Luam Night Bazaar is going to close!! That's one of my favourite places in Bangkok! Tell me it's not true!!
