During the rainy season the Chulalongkorn
University hallways fill up with
colourful umbrellas when the students are in class. |
 |
A close up of a typical rainy season
hallway umbrella garden. |
|
Meanwhile, down on the veranda ...
the umbrella garden is not just limited to the hallways
in front of the classrooms. |
 |
 |
Freshman on the final day of class.
Smiling in spite of the grades I gave them (or because
of the grades I gave them. You'd have to ask
them.) |
|
A typical Bangkok construction site. I
thought it was interesting because of the network of
sheet metal roads build over the wet, soupy sand.
Not very stable underpinnings for a high-rise, but I
haven't heard of any of them falling yet! |
 |
 |
Bangkok downtown - waiting for the light to change.
Notice how the motorcycles "have" the right of way to
weave through moving traffic on their way to the front.
It's an odd feeling to be on a motorcycle taxi (yes, I
do) when they are weaving in and out of moving cars. |
|
On the Chula campus. Once used for classes, these older buildings
are all used for administration now. Bucholic. |
 |
|
A new view of the Faculty of Arts on the
Chulalongkorn campus. I spend most of my waking
hours (and some of my napping hours) here. |
 |
 |
On campus, the pool where I swim - large and usually empty
(though it can get crowded in the evening). It's
kind of like having your own private, olympic-sized pool.
Until a few other swimmers show up. |
 |
Wait, there's a few swimmers now.
Now, if they keep to their side and I keep to mine and
no one else comes round, I can still pretend it's my own
private pool. |
|
Bangkok downtown near Siam Square.
Typical street scene. |
 |
 |
From our balcony - itinerant constuction worker camp.
These camps are always near construction sites and are
built of aluminum sheets and wooden posts. They
house the construction workers (and their families), who
are usually Burmese. |

A diva awaiting its prey. |

Nori buying fried fuck-tong (pumpkin). |
|
The wonderfully spoiled boy cat named
White, who lives in our building, enjoying the cool
shade of a small umbrella garden. |

 |
My desk at the office on a creative day (must've
been during the October semester break. Normally
the desk is covered with student work rather than my
Brush Painting books.) |
