I’ve been waiting for this PhotoHunt for a few weeks! Just over a month ago we spent a long weekend in Singapore – a city I had long wanted to visit, but never seemed to manage to make it there (even though it’s only a short hour flight from KL and two hours from Bangkok).Something [...]

I just found another thing to love about Thailand:
Last week we took our rather large pile of pictures, paintings, temple rubbings, batiks, etc that we’ve been intending to frame for the last three years to a framer just outside of our neighborhood.
We spent about an hour picking out the frames, the silks to use as [...]

A few weeks ago, Alex and I headed down to Singapore so that I could present at the Teach IT conference at Singapore American School. We were lucky that the conference coincided with a long weekend here at ISB, so we could spend some extra time with our wonderful friends Susan and Kent, who teach at SAS.
Things have been totally hectic here in the [...]
