Back in mid January, we went up to near Sakon Nakon to visit our friends Paul and Nid. I recently purchased a fishing pole, but all I’d manage to do so far was to attempt the drowning of a plastic frog. Paul said he had just the spot to break in the new pole, spend some time talking, and have a good day outing with our wives, all in one. And, in typical Thai style, while Paul and I fished, and talked about ‘guy stuff’ in English, our wives sat back in the shade, eating Som Tam, and talked about ‘girl stuff’ in Thai. It was indeed a fun day out and about. And while the wives were aghast when I threw my catch back in the pond, a trip to the local fish market solved the problem.
