Walking through the clothes market on the way to the food market.  It feels like a bright fuzzy tunnel most days.

Credit goes to @littleladybigbook via Instagram.   MS just made some fun little edits.

How true is this!?!

Just Me... MS the post slacker

MS in SiSaKet Thailand before the Songkran Festival with some fun edits. 

May 19th was my Bday.  Sad I am older but happy to feel young and be exploring this world.

This is just a note....
It takes so long to transfer pictures to my laptop.  Therfore, I will just kock it until I can use it for scrap gears and wires.  Perhaps, that will not help either. In the future MS will be posting pictures from my Instagram account of my Thailand adventures.

@madsteampunkery

It will be swift and odd as it posts the pictures at the bottom but I hope I can keep it rolling every other day or so as long as the wifi is agreeable.

Also, it will help with book reviews.  Shorter & sweeter versions but I'm sure you will enjoy my thoughts nonetheless.

eBook Review --> Clockwork Mafia

CLOCKWORK MAFIA

Concoction of an Review:

This book had a great adventure within the pages. At times MS was at edge waiting to know what happened.  

Our Corset wearing lady, Henerietta, was stuck between wanting to be apart of a prim and proper society that does not except her & that of the world of which she is already apart of.  That being the rough world of the Badlands were fugitives are taken & as a medical doctor aboard a dirigible of which she holds the titleship too.

Mafia is brought into her life via her father's scientific research with cogs and gears.  She is now is danger so much so that handsome Marshall, Carson, who makes her spinster heaet go pitty pat has fought countless dangers to warn her. 

Ah, fair hero is surprised that she holds her own in the face of danger that such a beautiful lady should not endure.

A good mix of Steampunkery, feminism, mystery & adventure.   It was a fair read, however, I felt it took me ages to finish.  I am quite unsure of it being due to traveling or if the story was rather slow to unfold. 

MS shall give thise book 3 solid blasts!

In The Moment {11}

I have recently started my first reRead of the year!

Yes, I find this exciting. I don't normally reRead many books bc there are so many out there that I have yet to get to. Ah, dilemmas!

How many have read The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown or any other book by him? Did you like it? Do you plan on reading his books?

The Mad Scientist LOVES to TRAVEL as much as I LOVE to READ!

Here is a place where I can add my photos & tell stories of my ADVENTURES!!!!!!

************************

Mad's Travel Tip

It is best to make sure you have a color copy of your passport in a different location then from your passports.  It is also wise to have pictures of your passport somewhere electronic. (email or smartphone)  If you are uncomfortable with that then you can leave a scanned copy with someone you trust in the US in case of extreme emergencies. 

************************

The Mad Scientist has now been in Thailand for a about 10 days now.

Oh, how I deeply love this country!

Here are a few pictures to share from just a two hour walk through Lak Si, Bangkok to find a ATM and some shampoo.  I have more pictures but these are the ones that Mad really feels can bring Bangkok to you.

All pictures taken with the Sony Nex 5n.

 Town home area where I have a room with a good friend.

My friend, Max, mentioned that this row of scooters (that goes on and on) is abandoned due to drunk driving accidents.

 Mad does spend much time off the beaten path.  You can tell because heads where flying to look at me, a foreigner, in their area.  This is real as real as it gets.

 My son and chickens.  I am unsure as if these are for cock fights or dinner.

A path that we found next to a canal.

Mad Scientist loves Buddhism and all the amazing things that go with it.

 I took a path next to a canal to find this street of ATM's, shops and street stalls at the end.  Goal achieved!

 Doors the gateways to our lives.

The actual last picture of our adventure of the day!

Semi shacks along a small canal.  Pretty and dirty all in the same.

I really hope that you enjoyed this picture Adventure!

Next time I will have pictures from Songkran the water festival in SiSaKet, Thailand.

Mad's Travel Tip
Put a dryer sheet in your suitcase to keep it fresh.
While it is your in storage, two weeks before you leave, & I even tuck a piece of a dryer sheet in a few pairs of shoes when I pack.  That way your clothes will not smell like shoes and your shoes will be smelling nice when you do pull them out to wear.
************************

Packing can be a task.  Mad Scientist has been packing for Thailand.

Lots of people always ask how do I pack so little for such long periods of travel.
Here are a few different ways to match and mix a few items in your wardrobe.  

Airport to Town

Night Time fun.

Shorts

Skulls and Skinny Jeans

Mini & Skulls For Dinner or Night Time

Jean Love

Make sure You have Comfy Sandals... Mine are brown leather.


If you want more outfit ideas let me know!!!

In The Moment {10}

My nose is Currently stuck in my copy of North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headly.  I remember finding this at Half Price Books and being so excited.

I'm a bit over half done.  So far it is pretty wonderful. Maps, wanderlust, China, Geocaching, and coffee.  Did the autbor pick through my brain to find all the things that I enjoy? Feels like it. 

If you read North of Beautiful let me know what you thought of it.  Post the link to your review. Or let me know if it is on your TBR list!

Books Are Better.
Happy Reading.
