the wandering and the wondering dad: yes, I am a dad. I travel and I think a lot because of my job. Wisdom begins in wondering and wandering. in this journey we call life, we often wander to different places and wonder about things. I like to record some of those here. If I left this world, some of the memories I recorded here would at least stay as a living proof on how I cherish my life. I've a good feeling the internet is here to stay.

I am so sick of Durian!
I have been very very sick for the last 2 days and I am blaming it on my over durian bingeing- Of those of you who have no idea of what this thorny king of fruits of SE Asia is, you can simply wiki it to find out or checkout my previous posts. I bought two packets of already nicely packed durians last friday down at the fruit stall as they are already now in season. They were of Monthong variety and I was pretty sure they came across the border as I am yet to see a durian tree being grown here (though I am told in the south of Laos there are plenty of durian trees grown) This wasnt the first time I had durian here but this was the first time I got really sick. My wife did tell me that I shouldnt eat too much of it as they can be quiet “heaty”. I simply ignored her as in my world, nothing comes in the way between me and my love for durian. I told her that this was my only guilty vice so she should let me indulge in it. But there I was regretting the whole thing as I vomited profusely the next day. I fell so sick I actually couldn't get myself out of the bed nevermind having anything solid to eat as I just simply threw out soon after I took anything down my throat. This is one of those times I have to let down my ego and say sorry to my wife.
