[Update: rewordings, change of format*]
I recently published a short piece on a fantastic reader submission to Stickman Bangkok by regular contributor Mega (nickname). I wrote: "I think any newbies to Thailand MUST read this report and maybe, maybe, save yourself some heartaches and vast amounts of money." I just read another by the same author (which portrays the catiness and face building/testing between Thai wives and girlfriends in an apartment complex) and was going to link to it here when I had one of those light bulb moments (please let me appreciate this moment since I get so few of them . . .): why not create a new sidebar linking to stories I've enjoyed because I found it enlightening, heart-warming, or especially because it pokes at a hornet's nest.
This way it'll conserve electrons (yeah right . . .) in the posting space and preserve the links in a proper and compact space where I can get at them quckly should I need an inspiring read. Or some such. (Ooooh what's that sound? Hmmm, I think that's my BS Detector.)
Anyway, I've kept the link items short, partly because I think this will become a long list -- there are so many well informed, well written blogs on Thailand. If you want to find out the source of and more about the item, just hover your cursor over the link!
I'll try to add some of my previously enjoyed blog posts over the next few days. Right now it's Saturday night in Canada, almost midnight and I haven't even had a beer yet. The things I do . . .
(Note: if you haven't activated the Thai language for your browser (it works for Firefox and Safari; don't ask me about IE), then the Thai word for "like" will look something like ~*^#@ or worse. )
*I decided the way I listed the items, by simply lisitng the blog's name, was hardly very informative or enticing. So I've gone with a come-on headline so now you can get the gist of it, without hovering the cursor over the Link. But there is more info if you do the hover thing. Ahhh, the beauty of electronic publishing . . .
