Pre-flight jitters strikes again
For me, going on a trip isn't as simple as just picking up my bags and heading to the airport all willy nilly. I have the dog to think of, and for her to stay at my Australian friend's house requir...
Lack of good breakfast options in Da Nang is disappointing
it's Tuesday so that means that for about and hour Nadi and I need to get out of the apartment for an hour or so while the cleaners do their thing. That probably makes me sound posh but I can assur...
Dream analysis. My crazy dreams are back...with some sadness
I used to dream all the time but lately it seems as though the cinema in my brain has been undergoing renovations because I have either not dreamed at all or I don't remember them. I normally will ...
Got a LONG international flight coming up. My first in nearly 2 years
I don't travel much. A lot of this has to do with the fact that I had the travel bug hard when I was in my 20s and I went just about everywhere and am kind of over it. These days I prefer to just s...
Dogs vs. Cats: My personal opinion
I'm an animal lover. Nadi, my dog, has been the greatest thing to happen to me since moving to South East Asia in 2004. She has been the only stable thing in my life in more than 20 years and I am ...
The Deluge: Stephen Markley
I was excited about this one because I was told it is a dystopian tale that is based on more close-to-home circumstances that exist on the planet that we live on in real life. I like dystopia and I...
Meme dump time!

Home doggy haircut: The second trial
3 months ago or so I decided that I am no longer going to take my rather old dog to the doggy hair salon because it just stresses her out too much and she shakes out of fear when we are just in the...
There's nothing to do here except drink: Da Nang, Vietnam
If there is one thing I have noticed about any expat community that I have been a part of it is the same ol' excuse about alcoholism. I've lived in 6 different expat communities and I think that ev...
The ups and downs of living at Da Nang beach in Vietnam
Yesterday, for reasons I didn't really fully understand, I found myself just stressed out in the middle of the day and I decided to do something that I very rarely do and go for a walk on the beach...
Midnighters: The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld is one of those Young Adult writers that I will return to every now and then, normally after I read something that is far more difficult to digest as was the case with the book I r...
How to approach Nadi on the street if you are a dog
My dog has become less and less social as she gets older. She still likes me a great deal and I am happy about that but she doesn't really get excited about seeing people even if she knows them and...
A truly miserable VR experience in Da Nang
Me and a group of pals have been having a lot of fun at the new VR place here in Da Nang, Vietnam. A little too much fun actually because we have basically completed every single game that the one ...
I rediscover how to bowl, and dominate my match
I've had a prolonged period of not being very good at bowling in our weekly league here in Da Nang. It's been a bit depressing and irritating because I tried what felt like almost everything that I...
Scouting for new beaches in Da Nang
Ever since Da Nang exploded in popularity in the past year, the rules of the beach have become pretty extreme for anyone that has a dog. In the past, it was already illegal to have your dog on the ...
