Clearly, I am not a) very bright, b) an early adopter, or c) in any way psychic. Blogs rock my world. In f...

Guess who’s going to Thailand and Vietnam in two weeks’ time? Uh, that would be me. The utterly delightful people at Thai Airways are sending me on a little adventure. To say I am excited would be like saying the Dalai Lama is a good bloke. I am beside myself. I am travelling from 3rd – 14...
