Today, when I was out for my Saturday walk, there was ice on the fjord for the first time this year. That means it's time to brace for winter by delighting in summer memories.
This summer we visited Thailand for the first time. It was one of my best holidays ever:
- Thai people are friendly and mostly laidback and cool.
- The culture isvery much influenced by Buddhism and there are fantastic temples virtually everywhere.
- Thai history is interesting: Thailand is the only country in the region that never was colonized. In fact, Thailand was quite an empire at one time.
- And of course the food! Thai food isn't just spicy -- you can have ti any way you want: Flaming hot curries or mild and gentle noodle dishes like pad thai, crispy salads and some great soups.
Here are some highlights in a short yet colorful video:
