Anytime you take a stand, there's always someone who won't like it.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make in life is to attempt to be loved by everyone. Not only will it lead to a futile, unfulfilled life, it will also force you to commit the crime of undue compromise. You will never really be able to stand for anything important, and you'll very often end up with a situation you just won't like. Anytime you take a stand, you must expect that someone won't like it. We don't really live in a black and white world, where everything is either "good" or "bad" a

It's a crazy time to be in Bangkok

It's really interesting these days.  I wonder how the airport crisis will be resolved, and I only hope that not too much blood will be spilled.  As far as I'm concerned, this can only end one of two ways: 1) PM Somchai will have to resign;  or 2) There will be blood on the streets. I hope and pray everyone stays safe.  I also hope this resolves itself soon, or else I'm going to be stuck in Bangkok for a long time.  I need to get back to Korea!

In Bangkok :)

Finally arrived last night.  Just looking to meet old friends and find new ways to have fun. :)Bangkok's slowly improving.  I'm happy to see the new buildings and the new constructions.  The public transport's getting better too.  What hasn't changed is the warmth of the people.  Still as great as ever.

Poem: When I find the words in time

You are on your wayIn a minute or twoAnd I must find, within that time,The words to sayI love you. I'm not used to thisUncertaintyAnd when I find the words in timeI shall, with a kiss,Dismiss worryAnd then embrace The long, sweet momentOf my soul... happyWhenever I see your smiling face. But I must hurryBecause you know nothing of What I find inside as I strive to findThe words for feelings sublimeUnknown, for so long, And now running out of timeEven as you slowly step outsideWhile I struggle to

Need advice from all the Thai experts... :)

I'm only going to be in Bangkok for a few days, and would like to maximize my time there.  Could you recommend the BEST clubs, restaurants and hang-out places you know?  It doesn't matter if it's for foreigners or Thai people, in general, because I can generally get by (my Thai is not TOO bad).   Price is not an obstacle either. :)Thanks in advance!

Vacationing in Thailand :)

I've decided... Thailand it is.   Will be there from April 26 to May 2.  What should I do.... hmmmmm?   Too many choices, too little time.

Where to vacation...?

I'm considering taking a vacation in April... the problem is, I only have 6 days free.  I'm wondering if it's worth it to pop by Thailand, especially since I have an option to go to Boracay beach in the Philippines with a good friend.  I'd love to go to a Thai beach... but I guess I'm not the type to just go alone.  Hmmmm.... should I risk going alone and just meeting up with cool people (hopefully) whom I'll meet there?  Or should I take the sure thing and go with someone to a beach I already k

What kind of legacy will you leave when you die?

An old philosopher once said that death is what defines our lives; that the idea that we WILL die helps to shape our destinies.  In other words, if we knew we were immortal we wouldn't act in the same way, wouldn't have the same hopes, dreams and fears, and wouldn't have the same sense of urgency to do things and get things done.  It is how we move towards our deaths that shapes our lives.  I just watched this amazing lecture on the internet.  It was given by a dying professor, just diagnosed wi
