    Sars wars - The death of a Zombie

    Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 31/01/2010

    » It is 9:30am in a hotel in the far, far northeast of Thailand, last Sunday to be exact. In 15 minutes I have to be onstage to give a speech, and I have detoured into the hotel's all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast.

    It's a Nice Day for a white Wedding

    Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 07/02/2010

    » Last week I attended the wedding in inner-city Bangkok of a former staff member and her long-term boyfriend. I should have been happy, but I wasn't.

    Lasting Friendships can be a tall order

    Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 21/02/2010

    » I was having a solitary lunch last Tuesday with my dear friend Evil Neil when a phone call came out of the blue. A phone call on my cellphone, that is. Regular readers are cognizant of Neil, a helpless victim of corporate cellular phone advertising who changes his phone as often as we eat somtam, and who, with every new device, plasters Superglue between it and his ear so that it's permanently stuck to his head - hence my "solitary" lunch with him last Tuesday.

    A man and his Motor Mouse

    Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 14/03/2010

    » Imagine my surprise last week when a mouse stuck its head out of my car air-conditioner. It was late at night in the car park of Channel 3. It seems this little mouse had made a home in my car for more than a few days, which would explain the scuffling and shuffling heard on and off by yours truly this past week. Thank goodness it was a mouse and not the onset of schizophrenia.

    » There's barely a week to go before returning to Thailand, and I'm pulling out all stops to cram in as much as I can into my time left here in the United States. One of those activities includes a whirlwind trip to Las Vegas.

    Getting Bobbleheaded over an iPad

    B Magazine, Andrew Biggs, Published on 11/07/2010

    » Conventional wisdom has it that a blink of an eye lasts 400 milliseconds. For me, it is more like three months. That’s how I feel as I pack my two meagre suitcases to leave the bustling, crazy world of Los Angeles for the bustling, crazy world of Bangkok. There are people to farewell, tequila bars to visit, dinners to attend, and tequila bars to visit — did I repeat myself just then? There’s been the quick trip up to Hollywood Boulevard to buy tacky souvenirs.

    It's a small world in Thai politics

    B Magazine, Andrew Biggs, Published on 08/08/2010

    » Oh God, not another one. On a ranking of things Thailand desperately needs right now, where would "an extra province" be? Surely somewhere down in the 900s, wedged between "pay rise for politicians" (#946) and "more Cambodian child beggars outside police booths" (#948).

    On a road to NOWHERE

    B Magazine, Andrew Biggs, Published on 05/09/2010

    » The Easter Bunny has been hopping up and down Bangkok's expressways this week. No, I haven't been partaking of any illegal substances other than that bottle of Australian Shiraz I smuggled into the country without paying extra sales tax. What could the Easter Bunny possibly have in common with the tangled web of tang-duans that strangle my beloved Bangkok?

    Managing those Melting Moments

    B Magazine, Andrew Biggs, Published on 12/09/2010

    » When I was a little boy growing up in Australia, my mother would often make these biscuits called Melting Moments. They were delicious buttery things with enough sugar to ensure I'd be one day stabbing insulin needles into my stomach on a daily basis.
