    I have a friend with an old XJ6 (Series 3 I think). It has got the twin fuel tanks and costs him ~4,000 Baht to fill up. He swears like a fish-wife whenever he goes to the petrol station!

    I always tell him to get a Yaris instead but he doesn't appreciate my helpful suggestions.

    Came across this little fellow doing my morning round in the garden -

    Can you spot him?





    He has a little cave,





    But not interested in having a visitor.





    I was told to buzz off, so I did - and he can stay




    Chrysopelea ornata ornatissima (Golden Tree Snake)
    Thai: (ngu kieo lai dok mak)
    Length: Up to 140 cm
    Occurrence: The Golden Tree Snake is to be found throughout Thailand.
    Behaviour/habitat:
    Chrysopelea Ornata Ornattissima is a flexible snake. It can be found in forests, on plantations, in gardens and in houses. This snake is regularly found in the inner city areas of Bangkok and Pattaya. As they enjoy eating rodents, geckos and other lizards, they are often found on and in houses. These snakes are active during the day, can climb walls and are very fast.
    Danger:
    If they fee threatened and cannot flee, they bite straight away. The species Chrysopelea belongs to the viper family. However, the poison is so mild that it does not have much of an effect on humans.

    Dammit!!!!

    I was going to guess that area based on the shape of the rocks above and below his cave particularly the one below with the ridge running along it.

    Did you pull the leaves aside to take the photo?










    And yes, I did spend way too long looking for it. Why do you ask?

    The baseball team we support has been having trouble getting people to come out and see the games as of late and they gave season ticket holders a couple of sets of tickets to enter into the Clevelander at the park to entice us to come out. We visited last night while at the game,….

    the "kimchi" looks fine and the "kalguksu" looks tasty but preference if soup would be "Daegutong". Cucumber kimchi is my favorite. Also, sitting out in the night air on the South side of the Han near one of the universities eating taegie kalbie (sp?) and drinking some cold beer would certainly hit the spot.
