News for March

Well, when you think you are going to have time, you don't. It's all about really wanting to do something and to commit to take the time to do it. So I guess I didn't feel the urgency to update my blog, not that exciting things didn't happen, but the feeling wasn't right for the cute writing and sharing. Bink and I had our share of stressing events as well with some complications and annoyance with immigration Canada for Bink's permanent resident visa. We also have problems with my shipment to Quebec with Canadian customs. And I have problems with my Australian super as well, trying to retrieve it! And I started to look for jobs as well, but that's not so bad there.

So in other words, the couple of months that I wanted to spend to find "Happiness and peace of mind about Life in general", well, it's not happening so much! Not alot of big things, but many little messy things that grab your mind. And wow, it's so hot and humid here. The electrical system of the house where I live can't handlle another AC system!!

So let's go with the most recent news.

Yesterday, I drove in Bangkok. It was an old manual transmission car. Ahh, the car didn't have seatbells but the AC was quite good! We headed in the city, near the Old Siam plaza. Let's simply say that it was quite an experience. Bink's mother was my copilot, and well, as I had no clues where I was going, she was very helpful. I didn't run over any motorcycles, almost hit a bus but let the colorful taxi alones. The Took-took were untouched as well! We went to Putthamonthon park after where I took a few shots of a pretty big Buddha next to a lake.

Today, I bought my airplane tickets to Canada. Unfortunately, I will leave her all alone in Bankok for a few months so that I can prepare to welcome her to Canada later this year. I will also be able to clear some of the problems mentionned above. As we want to buy a house in Canada and Bangkok, I need to start looking for a job too! :-)

So you'll see me next month in Montreal!

Hmmm, is it the beginning of the Raining season already? There is a huge tropical thunderstorm hitting Bangkok right now and I am affraid our room is going to be flooded. It rained pretty hard last night too.

Cheers for now!
Jean

Salut Jean,

Ça a l'air assez dépaysant la Thaïlande. Je suis content d'apprendre que tu vas revenir bientôt et j'espère que tes choses vont bien s'arranger.
