I figured a deserved respite was in order after those two perilously long entries, therefore this one's gonna be nothing but two quick videos I've taken while here.

There's not too much of a mission statement for this as it's really just a way for my friends and family to see pictures I've taken and read my long-winded ramblings on everyday occurences here that seem unique and interesting to me.

"Hey! Here, try to play this! It has a better sound!"
Hahaha, great minds think alike! I wrote in the summary of the actual Google Video "he's like a real life Riki-Oh!" at the risk of alienating people who'd be like "Ricky Who?".
None of those people are worthy to watch this video anyway :P
Who rides an elephant to actually get somewhere? Is the dude going to work and his only means of transportation is his trusty pachyderm? Maybe it's more of a "the process" vs "the result" kinda thing. It doesn't matter that he gets where ever he's going extremely slow...it's the whole "joy in the journey" concept...maybe?
Hey sis, sorry to burst your bubble but the dude wasn't using it solely as a means of transportation. It's primary intent was to get tourists to pay 20 baht to feed it some nutritionless sugar stick crap (I only mention that because the dude's reasoning for you buying this was "Elephant's very hungry!"). I've gotta say though if I had the choice of getting to work in 15 minutes on the SkyTrain or 2 hours on an elephant I'd pick the latter in a heartbeat and even pay handsomely for the privilege.
On a sadder note I thought it would make for an interesting short documentary/expose/whatever to find out where they actually KEEP these elephants when they're not parading 'em up and down the street at night.
I don't know what your internet-time situation is like, but if you have a half hour to watch a video, this is a woman named Evelyn Glennie, giving a talk about listening to music; she's a deaf percussionist.
In other news, awesome that you have a site to easily convey your escapades. Also, I would choose the elephant too.
can deaf people hear themselves talk still?
Stefan you should start a band with that guy. Play like an empty milk carton or something.
