Chriselle 158 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Man, I could go for Tom Yam kun and some hot hot green curry right now...!! Sick of the typical Japanese fare... Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 amazing food out here. Also amazing supermarkets. Ive got a waitrose! You really could live here without too much in the way of cravings. Which is a pity because i was kinda hoping id not get fatter than i already am :'( As for the tummy issues, no doubt, been rolling the dice on street food since i got here. It was bound to get me eventually Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really digging the food since moving to Sapporo.....the ramen up here is fantastic! Soup curry.....phoaaarrr and I've already mentioned the Lamb BBQ. Unfortunately my trousers seem to have shrunk a little Link to post Share on other sites

gnarly-dude 1 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm missing this > what are you actually doing over there ippy? Just hanging out long term or something? Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 as it turns out, i have a job. As ever, ive deliberately gone hermit. Im signing the contract tomorrow. Pay sucks, but its going to be in range of the beach and the beach isnt a tourist hot spot so should be a nice adventure. Its Trat province. Pay is 30-32,000 baht. Theres also mountains to the north of the region. Oh and did i mention? Its on the border of cambodia! Whee! im about as far from Phnom Penh as Bangkok so if im bored of thailand, i can just nip across to cambodia instead Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Sounds like an adventure! What's the job.... banking? Link to post Share on other sites

cal 6 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Very cool. Lots of demand for sexy Scot lads over near the border of Thailand/Cambodia? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Stopped going out and tasting every night now? me? Not exactly....we've calmed down a little but still eating out (and nomihodai-ing) far too many nights a week. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 The soup curry is a Biei thing and just you go up to Furano t taste the beef tataki and the sausages. Asahikawa ramen is something special too. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 So i has my job! Contracts been signed! they even actually like me! 32,000 baht per month. 20 teaching hours per week. Pro rata so no pay in March/April aside camps, but i dont mind because a) if i hate the place ill just leave for korea since the new year starts in March. and b ) Its in a city called Trat which is about 40 minutes away from this: Koh Chang island Thats alright And heres where ill probably be going most weekends: Ko Kut: Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks dudes, i cant freaking wait to make people mad jealous on facebook. Thats literally the only reason im going there. 4m annual rainfall, the next six months all over 40cms and from June to September its 800mm and 26-29 days of rain/month. But for those glorious two days of sunshine im praying its a weekend so i can pretend im sunning it up on a paradise island when in fact im living in a teeny town with nothing to do and snorkeling around my living room trying to dodge the millipedes, scorpions and whatever other horrors living near a rainforest has in store for me whilst trying to get some kind of wifi signal so i can communicate with the outside universe. Then again, maybe no wifi will be good for me. hahahahaahahhahahhahahhahahahahahahah! asif god would be so kind and let me spend m next year or two stuck in a house with nothing to do and actually reading a book or even studying a bit! As fekkin if! god i hate the internet. A pox on my own damn house! (i of course love you all, i mean the OTHER internet, obviously!) Link to post Share on other sites
