I pick that you pay for a window seat. bring some pegs and a small light blanket and make her a tent by pinning the blanket to the seat. I have flown long( 30 hrs ) and short haul with twins several times a year plus a sibling. They are 15 and 9 now. I have seen people reprimanded for allowing their kids to lay on the…
I call it the 4 th stage of labour. Right after the placenta, your brain slips out.
Yes, they count like this even when you know exactly when you conceive via IVF! I think it contributes to a lot of “early/late” births that are actually neither.
I love the seeing the english versions of thai words...there is something very satisfying about how certain sounds are produced in the mouth. I had many one on one lessons where sometimes we would spend an hour of just perfecting one sound. It can be hard to explain how your mouth is working, or see how someone elses…
Omg I’ve been pronouncing it incorrectly for 15 years and we lived there, in Chon Buri province! I’m officially mortified. I want my money back... Thai lessons pfffft!

Minimum University entrance requirments are the equivalent of the Australian Year 12 english and mathematics. This means Calculus…
We used to dine with a couple , he from the midwest, she from England. I could not understand how she didn't jump across the table and stab him over the way he handled his cutlery. It took me a long time to let go of this gut reaction to a perception of basically no manners ( not just bad manners) because that was…
i'm definitely a 5 too...but I'll take that as being the correct way for me as I am of chinese background. Japanese chopsticks seem so....pointy, stabby but pretty!
the top two ends of a set of chopsticks?
My MIL passed away a few months ago. Our children and I could not go home, the other side of the world, to say our goodbyes. My husband did the viewing.
