Venice of Asia strikes back

Just some photos from our saturday little trip to take a look on our appartment in Laksi. And a big thanks to the military trucks service helping to reach otherwise unreachable underwater areas.

Views from the...

Crónica de una inundación anunciada

Well, welcome again to the worst non often (almost never) updated blog of the net. And for not shocking anyone (if any stay alive out there) it will be just a short post (no kidding you weren't surprise). Just a sputnik beep beep before going back to work.

For those that were doubting about my whereabouts in this amazing time of flooding life on Bangkok just saying that everything is OK and thanks everyone for your mails, messages, facebooks and others. At least for us in any cases everything is ok, unfortunately I cannot say the same for a lot of people living around Bangkok. An amazing disaster, perfectly unorganized and misinformed by too many people. With all the misinformation and political disputes around... I feel like a peace of home near me (o sweet Spain) :)

And there are some little drawings along the last weeks around here:


like 4weeks ago or more



2 weeks ago (exaggerate in the flood extent at home but the last minute freelance modification for a client while having to leave the apartment is a true situation)  :)



1 week ago...

to be continued...

PS: Another day I will talk about the amazing lack of real international news on the different countries in the world. More than one that I talk with was surprise when explaining the real situation here in Bangkok, the real extents, still amazing, yes. And be careful that I am not talking about news journals in Europe I think the same all around the world. Whoever want to be informed from news around the world better go direct to BBC or CNN and forget the national newspapers.

Back to work now hop hop

Unos taquitos desde Oriente

Pués como bien decía Jorge (el Ameno) en un comentario anterior, como que lo del blog lo tengo pelín abandonado. Y no, no es que sea por vacaciones. Aunque esto del verano tailandés continuo y trabajar desde casa te nubla un poco la frontera entre oficina y vacaciones, la verdad es que últimamente voy más liado de lo primero que de lo segundo. Pero como dice la familia, eso es bueno, ¿no? :)

Igualmente a ver si pongo algún dibujo, foto o mensajito, botella al agua, de vez en cuando por aquí.

Mientras tanto y aprovechando la fantástica globalización, ahí van unas fotos explusivas pa tí, Jorge (fíjate en la etiqueta de la salsa roja) y otros amigos mexicanos de Villahermosa, Monterrey o ya tirando más arriba de Washington DC de los USA. Marchando pues unos taquitos con salsa 'El Charro', jalapeños y lo que se deba, confeccionados domésticamente en Bangkok.

 
 


PS: También nos surtimos de una botella de Chianti y CHORIZO (Revilla y Campofrío). Lo dicho. Olé por la globalización.

It's jungle out there

Our brand new NuclearCar is here, Yiiiiiiiiijah!



And with it, the pleasures of Bangkokian traffic madness and the 'reverse driving', or the art of putting everything related to the car in the opposite side I use to find it (yes, the joys of driving by the left have no limit).
But...
Fuck it!
Honestly, really glad to have it. Really useful here.

LET'S GO!

And here a related little drawing:

Bringing the children to school

I mean, continu 'driving training' Tai going to her work together.

Koh Lan and the 'self paparazzi grabbers'

Some weeks ago we went to Koh Lan.


Ver mapa más grande
(An island not so far from Bangkok, on the Gulf of Thailand)

It's curious to watch how some foreign tourists act out of their homeland. Don't misunderstand me, I think all of us do it in a certain degree (it's easy to spot the shouting Spaniard all around the globe), but sometimes, c'mon...
it's too much.

So there on the beach there was these group of grown guys (would say Indians but don't take my word too seriously), like a group of testosteroned adolescents, running by the beach and grabbing any occasion to do photos of themselves with the poor bikini girls that agree too. It was a pathetic scene to see. The old HO HO HO guys 'grabbing' the surprised,'don't know what to do' girls for a photo.
I can understand the attraction of the white skinning or even the so much naked parts of the body to enjoy
BUT COME OOOONNNN!!! MAAAAAAAAANNN!!

Here's some sketchs of the scene...



And a cleaner one



PS: Of course the girls could have said no and that's all. But well, I think they were so much surprised by the scene to react as me.

The blogging copilot...

Enjoying the traffic jams in Bangkok, while Tai trains her driving, can be a good occasion for a new post (after such a long radio silence).

Frankensphone is alive!

A little drawing for AnaliticoMan and his Doctor Frankenstein's smartphone creature :)

Japan mon amour...

send our car, please.

Once that we decide to buy a car (really useful in Thailand)...
and we have the great idea to choose a Honda, japanese brand, with factory in Japan itself! So here we are, with our ration card in one hand, still waiting for it after 5 months.
Is curious to listen about the earthquake waves and have the unconscious and selfish 'C'mooon!!! not again!' shouting in your head.
But to be honest, the thing is that Japanese models still being one of the most interesting choices here in Thailand, so patience...

Perhaps in some monnths...

Cause life is not only about breaking coconuts...

As not all is swimming pools and sweating under the hot thai sun, there you have a little bit of what I have been working on lately ...
professionally speaking.

Exposition: Art et Argent, liaisons dangereuses



A nice exposition from 'La Monnaie de Paris' about the relation between Art and Money and a project of 'virtual museum', in an attempt to bring a sharing art experience on the web.
It has been a very interesting project that I wish we will continue, adding improvements and new features in a future.

Enjoy.

There's some screenshots.

Coconut carnage

So, as I was saying yesterday, the result is not a clean cirurgical cut but a wonderful mess. Luckily I have plenty of time to perform my non-technique and, to be honest and some would say...
the beauty is inside.
:)
Nicely enjoyable
¡Salud!


note: For the postcard ones just do a walk to the nearest beach :)

The way of the samurai (or how to open a coconut)

It's a simple process though. You need a sharp big knife and an humble and very immobile coconut (as usually they are). So let's see the process in some steps:


...
So why I usually finish doing something more like this?

Mmmmmmmm

Definitively I am not a vegetarian.
