Pardon, I need to...

Learning foreign languages amuse me.. because, inevitably, I'm bound to run into a misunderstanding that it's too funny to not make.

This post: "Excuse me."

In Thai: kor tot ka/kap.

Except, if you don't pronounce "tot" right, it might come out as "todt" which means fart. I can't even hear the difference.

And I'm dying to see someone yell that while squeezing through a crowd.

No wonder why Asians are also gaining weight..

Seen in a recent ad campaign to sell international products in a high-end supermarket atop one of the biggest shopping malls in the city... Anyone spot the factual problems? They actually had a billboard for this promotion. Unfortunately, the taxi whizzed by too quickly for me to register let alone react and have the camera out.


Clearly, they haven't heard about Americans' obesity problem, despite the prevalence of fashion magazines imported from the States.

Bonus: American readers, see if you can spot something very very very wrong in the pictures... besides the food being called healthy. People create controversies from doing this at home!

Anyone looking at the big picture?

No one other than me seemed particularly perturbed to see a gigantic head sticking out of the ground in front of Central World this weekend.



What was even better? Of all the photos in the Planet Ocean photographic exhibition around it, they just had to chose this one to juxtapose against the figurehead.

Words can't describe...

... Thais performing YMCA. So I'll let you see for yourself. Apologies for the unusually shaky filming. I was laughing so hard I'm surprised the camera picked up any music at all.
