Well I recall that in Chiang Rai it was pretty hard to be able to find new music that I liked without being in an actual record shop. Perhaps it's easier in Bangkok, but I would like to recommend you this site: http://www.last.fm/Easy to watch clips, giving you suggestions of similar bands, listening cd's (only 30 seconds per song though) finding your favourite artist on the radio and last but not least a good event listing... also for Thailand!!I really like the build in streamed radio... it as
Dutch Halloween (always on November 11)
'Sint Maarten' is a bit like Halloween – but not related to opening doors to ghosts, goblins and witches. Instead, one is ready to offer snoepjes (sweets) to cute little faces who may approach people's door.
Festival of Kindness & Giving
Sint Maarten is the holiday of kindness and giving, based on the story of Saint Martin, an altruist. The Festival of Sint Maarten initially began in the Catholic church in honour of the benevolent Saint's de
I was watching the news when I saw the Dutch crownprince and his wife visiting Bhutan. Bhutan is a very special country, which always got my interest. Bhutan has a Ministry of Happiness. They measure their Gross National Happiness which is an attempt to define quality of life in more holistic and psychological terms than Gross National Product. It's far more important to measure this, I reckon, than economical growth...
At the news they told us that The Netherlands in terms of happiness are
The right brain vs left brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise? If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it. LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science

Bokito (Berlin, March 14, 1996) is a male Western Gorilla that lives in Diergaarde Blijdorp, a zoo in the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He appeared in the news after he had escaped from his enclosure and seriously injured a female visitor on May 18, 2007. Born in the Berlin zoo Zoologischer Garten, Bokito was raised by his human attendants after having been rejected by his mother. To evade the risk of inbreeding, he was transferred to the Diergaarde Blijdorp in August 2005. On May 18, 2007
Cansei de Ser Sexy (lit. "[i'm] tired of being sexy" in Portugese; better known as CSS) is a Brazilian band from São Paulo. Their songs have an electro-rock sound, and are sung in both English and Portuguese; their lyrics mostly concern pop culture. I like this song very much... just want to share it with you:
Anyone who knows 'the Breeders'? This song is a bit in the same style... Their song 'Alala' and 'Let's make love and listen to death from above' are great too... If you'll go
Well who are the bands or singers?

Dog Days 'When you stop to consider
The days spent dreaming of a future
And say then, that was my life.'
For the days are long--
From the first milk van
To the last shout in the night,
An eternity. But the weeks go by
Like birds; and the years, the years
Fly past anti-clockwise
Like clock hands in a bar mirror.
--Derek Mahon--

One thing I love about Amsterdam is its multi-ethnic environment. In 2007, the number of nationalities in Amsterdam is the largest in the world for a city: 177. Second is Antwerp (Belgium) with 164. New York follows with 150 nationalities in one city...

It was very nice to meet all of you! I didn't take many pictures, so sorry if you are not on one of the pics. These were made the few moments I took my camara out.... Cheers... hope to see all of you again!
There are many artists living in Chiang Rai. One of the first things I came to see in Chiang Rai were the grounds of Thawan Duchanee. My friend Num took me there, for he knew I was interested in art. The temples and artifacts at the grounds are somehow connected with death and black is the color most present.Later Num introduced me to his art teacher, Raywat Deekaew, who became a close friend and my personal art teacher. For two years Raywat taught me about art. I went there every single Saturda
First of all I was glad to meet lots of TF ers last weekend in Bangkok. I enjoyed being there and felt at ease with all of you guys!I am in Chiang Rai now, enjoying to be with some of my best friends. I was driving around on my bike, seeing those wonderfull views over the river, the paddy fields, my old house.... It makes me happy to see that all is still there.. It must have been November 2002 that Eveline, a very good friend, invited me to come over to work in Chiang Rai. She worked in kinderg
Well...I decided to go to Sukhumvit straight from the airport and find me a hotel over there. After a short sleep I woke up in the afternoon and walked around a bit. Not easy to get used to the warmth... I was sweating a lot.Later I went to Absolut 7, but there was nobody there. Played some pool, collected a discount card: 643.There is something with 3's and 4's in my life... that's why I took that number. I was born in a street on number 3, then I moved to 304, to 34, to 43, to 143.. Now I live
