Caught the Air Asia flight from BKK to Phuket on Christmas morning. Can’t really recommend Air Asia though. I had a 10:50am flight that took off sometime around 12:30. I got the impression that they consolidated two flights as some people had been waiting a long time for the flight and the [...]
On Dec 23rd the fine folks of Thailand will be electing a new government. Seems in Sept of 2006 the military didn’t like the way billionaire Prime Minister Mr. Thaksin was running the joint and decided to stage a bit of a coup. So Mr. Thaksin went on the lamb and ended up [...]
I’ve always told people that I never worried about getting mugged in Thailand because if the Thai’s want to rip you off they’ll do it with a smile and have you thanking them for doing it. Case in point, last trip to Thailand I walked out of the arrivals terminal and was greeted by [...]
Perhaps that title is misleading because if I were to do a complete list Google might choke on the amount of content. I flew out of Hyderabad on Friday night and encountered two total tools. First is smelly guy sitting next to me. Hey, far be it from me to dictate [...]

Just a quick update and some comments I’m sure will set someone off. Flew from Spain to Frankfurt. Sort of felt sad that I had to get up so early in the morning because I would have loved to take the hour or so drive out to Wiesbaden where I spent three years [...]
Back in Oct 2006 when I interviewed poker coach, Tommy Angelo, he mentioned to me that he was working on a book. Well, it’s finally arrived! Elements of Poker is 248+ pages of Tommy’s writings on poker and life. Based just on the chapter titles this looks to be an amazing read. [...]
I was reading a thread on 2+2 today where somebody asked what was the best country for a US citizen to live in as an online poker pro. As there seemed to be a lot of confusion and misinformation about the issue I thought I would write up what I know about the subject. [...]

Instead of flying out of my usual Gibraltar airport I had to head about an hour up the coast to Malaga to catch my flight. The problem with Gibraltar is that you can fly anywhere in the world from Gibraltar as long as you’re going through London. All Gib flights except for a [...]
