Yet Another Trip to Bangkok

As I mentioned somewhere earlier, our mission in Thailand is a training hub, so I've been there three times in the last year, and I just finished my last required training course. Still, every time I go, I see something new. Here are some photos.

Some notes: the top photo shows ceramic chickens in some kind of cock fight (no, I did not see actual cockfighting while I was there); and no, I didn't see any crocodiles floating in the flood waters of Bangkok; Mom -- I thought you'd like seeing that can of Prickly Heat, something they apparently still use for foot massages in Thailand; this photo of the river is as close as I got to flood waters while I was in Bangkok.

Congratulations to Dave and Jennifer!

About a week after my trip to India, I was back in the US for Dave and Jennifer's wedding. I was there just long enough to get over the jet lag before returning to Kazakhstan, but I was glad to be there. All the best, guys!

More from India (finally!)

As promised, here are some more photos from Delhi, but so much time has passed since I was there, I don't have much to say now.  The second picture here, I took because those girls were diligently typing away at old electric typewriters (the kind I learned how to type on -- so long ago). I thought it was interesting to see old school technology still hard at work in India, but I didn't notice the computers on the sides of the room until I looked at the picture after I got home. Most likely, these girls are learning to type. I think Ms. Arnold from Bis-Henn would be proud.

The bottom two pictures are from a mausoleum in Delhi that is similar to, but predates, the Taj Mahal. There wasn't enough time for me to see the Taj, but this was still an interesting piece of architecture.
