We're lucky in that we do live on a main road (apart from the noise!). We have normal power lines that don't talk and don't sparkle and are tightly fixed to stout power polls (mostly!). But tonight we are experiencing some full on techno bliss light show... all our fluorescent lights keep flashing on and off every couple of minutes. The tv and computer stay on but it's a funky ass disco night otherwise! It must look quite amusing to the neighbours! I do believe it's time to get some rewiring done considering they still have the original wiring when electricity first came to the village 25 years ago. I find it quite astounding that J didn't have electricity in the house til he was about 10. He tells me that in town had it significantly longer then that, but the villages didn't get electricity til much later. As a kid he used candles to read and obviously did well without computer games! oooh can't keep going, getting a headache from no lights and bright screen!

Life is an adventure in the villages every day :-)
I am up in an Isaan village. Though the big town is only 2 hours from here, I've yet to see another farang up here.
I enjoy your blog a lot. Good for a laugh every time, so keep it up!
Hey Rune
Thanks for your comment! I'm sure you can identify quite a lot then..you sound as remote as I am :-) My big city is only an hour away but don't go very often so it's always exciting when we do!
