Its offical

Our mid service conference took place last week in Bangkok and all of the volunteers were in excellent form. It's incredible to think that I've already been here for one year, living in this Kingdom for a whole 365 days of my life. Looking back, I can say that it's gone by quite fast, but I've also had moments that seemed to never end.

Some highlights include sharing a room with my homestay brothers, living on the Mekong River, and meeting my current girlfriend. That's right, it's offical, I'm dating a Thai national. She great and if you wanna talk about it, just give me a call. I'll be happy to fill you in.

I want to send a personal thanks to Paul and Cara Jacobson for sending me the trifecta of male magazine entertainment, Rolling Stones, Maxim, and The Economist. These three magazines have collectively kept me up to date with everything I've wanted to know over the past year. I love you two so much for thinking about me, and thanks again.

I raise my glass of lao kaao (Thai rice wiskey) and say "Here's to the coming year. May it be a safe and prosperous year full of potential."
