After attempting to blog the same post several times - and failing, thanks to a combination of wonky internet connections and Typepad's completely unfriendly, easy-to-freeze 'new compose editor' - we give up, and offer instead the above photo and reassurances that we haven't completely dropped off the map. It's been a fantastic two weeks (has it only been two weeks?) and we have lots to share ... but that will have to wait till later in the week, when we can post from Bangkok or from home in KL.
Extra points to anyone who knows where this one was taken (hint: it's an easy-to-overlook tourist site in an oft-overlooked stop on the infamous Mae Hong Son Loop).
There used to be a Kuomintang post between Mae Hong Son and the border of Burma.
I'd be surprised if it still exists, but also wonder, if it was turned into a tourists attraction.
Love your blog, it brings back memories of working 20 years in Japan and South East Asia...
missed you the last few weeks....

Looking forward to reading more. And I thought I had a dodgy broadband connection here in Barcelona.

Looks like the Japanese Museum, or whatever it's called, in Khun Yuam. A

Stumped me guys. Looks like an "Oops, you caught me!" Glad to hear from you.

Damn, I've got a photo of the same jeep sans the cute kid. The museum there presents a relatively pro-japanese perspective doesn't it?

Well I love this food, reminds me of the Wizard of Oz in so many ways, just click your heels three times.
Some blogs post the comment right away, I never use a blog that says comments have to be approved. So a system needs to be worked out by way of tin can for that.
Well this is a great example of a new way and angle to the joys of food.
Will wait for this great food.

It looks fantastic, I am worried about my hunger. Is she safe inside. Always trust in spirit for cooking . Going to sleep well if I could eat this for a meal.
I know hunger is shadowed by a poor cook, but this here is the best.
Know how much I love this food, so much so much
When I left this comment, I was afraid of spam so I put in a fake email address, hope no one minds me having to do that.
Enjoyed this article so much so much, Look forward to eating this kind of creation in a driving rainstorm snug inside to hear the rain drops. Sorry, Just trying to make you laugh

Yes, love this food so good for the body and soul. It brings healing!
Sometimes when I'm around junk food I miss the healthy way so much, so much. It is a constant hunger like none other! A constant pain!
When I return to where I should be and eat properly the pain goes away and is replaced with joy!
Rainstorm bubbles of bliss!
