Songkram. The Thai New Year. A hot time of year when you're soaked with sweat, anyway! All sweat is washed away as the city participates in one big 3 day waterfight. I just happen to be in Bangkok for 2 of these days! Groups of young and old line ... Read more >

For scientific discoveries, give me Scott. For speed and efficiency, give me Amundson. But when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton! I´m VERY excited this morning and hope for Scott and Amundson!
