Something that would have probably given me nightmares as a child. - Burk Sauls 2011 CE Los Angeles, California Sent via iPhone Continue reading

When I took this photo at Tucker Maximum Security Prison in Arkansas, I had no idea that it would be my last visit with my friends there. All three of them were released on August 19, 2011, and all involved would be happy to never again see the inside of... Continue reading

Our last full day in the amazing turmoil of Bangkok, Thailand. A few more attempts at some shopping, a visit to downtown Bangkok's protective, 4-headed Ganesh, a brief debate about whether to try a Thai McDonald's (we both agreed not to. Maybe next trip). Then we took the Skytrain and... Continue reading

Heading home after 3 days up country in Pak Chong. I had a wonderful time there that I'll remember for the rest of my life. On our way home we visited another house that Miu's family bought. A really beautiful place that's being fixed up and renovated. Then we went... Continue reading

Another amazing meal in the country. I even helped pick some of this. It stopped raining a few times while we were in Pak Chong, and on our last day there Miu and I took a very nice bike ride through the rice farms and rural neighborhoods. We explored and... Continue reading

These are the stormy clouds that have been bringing all the flooding in this part of Thailand lately. - Burk Sauls 2010 CE Bangkok, Thailand Sent via iPhone Continue reading

This is the road that leads to Miu's father's place. There's been so much rain lately that pretty much everything everywhere is wet - or at least damp. I took this photo from the front of the house - which is to my right - and behind me is the... Continue reading

This is our home for a few days. It almost looks like a treehouse. Handcrafted from local hardwoods, and furnished with handmade benches and chairs built by Miu's father. We're in Pak Chong, which is about 3 hours northeast of Bangkok. The insect sounds at night are almost overwhelming. So... Continue reading

Ar this point the photos I've been taking with my "real" camera have taken priority over these small iPhone photos. Hence the fewer posts to this blog. I've taken over a couple thousand shots with the good camera, but only a few of these easy-to-email photos with the phone camera.... Continue reading

After the ceremony with Miu's mom and dad. My new in-laws. These iPhone photos don't do much to make the place look very nice. We had a couple of pro photographers there taking much better shots than these, but we figured friends and family back home might want to see... Continue reading

Early in the morning at the monk hospital temple in Bangkok. We gave food and flowers to the monks and were blessed before heading to another room at the temple where the actual ceremony took place. It looks like Miu has a bun on the top of her head, but... Continue reading

Our tuk tuk driver flying through the streets of Bangkok at top speed. Only the laws of physics keep him from entering warp drive and hurling us into the 34th century. He shifts gears with his whole body, causing the tuk tuk to lurch right with each increase in the... Continue reading

Miu negotiating with a tuk tuk driver. I'm lurking nearby trying not to show my farang face so that she'll get a better price. Once the deal is made, I emerge from the shadows and join her in the back seat, and we go flying into the insane precision of... Continue reading

You will see this kind of insane, and seemingly impossible wiring in Bangkok just about everywhere. I have no idea how anyone keeps track of what power is going where. Everything is above ground because of the flooding, but they apparently have some way of knowing where the phone, power,... Continue reading

The ubiquitous tuk tuk. And a Bangkok Space Invader. When I was in London, my friend Chad spotted one in a tunnel near the art museum. It's always fun to find these things. This one isn't as hidden as some, but it's in a place that I'd probably never be... Continue reading

Here's me sitting on an odd bench advertisement in Bangkok - apparently advertising some kind of ice cream that can talk, walk and sing. Continue reading

This is our wedding party ship at the Royal Thai Navy Yard. We're expecting over 150 guests for dinner and a three hour cruise down the Chao Phraya river. This morning we met an admiral of the Royal Thai Navy, and he invited us to dinner at his family's restaurant.... Continue reading

Miu with her pass. Today we were shopping for some things for the wedding. Traffic was so bad in downtown Bangkok, we parked the car and took the train to where some family friends have a clothing design company. After a long walk down a narrow, twisty alley we found... Continue reading

My first look at Bangkok in the daylight. The view from our bedroom. It's 9:55am here. Probably too soon for us to wake up, but we're both pretty excited to get the day started. - Burk Sauls 2010 CE Los Angeles, California Sent via iPhone Continue reading
