Most of you have been in all or most of SE Asia, and it's the behavior of the dogs that has me stumped. They lay along the sides or the middle of the road move slowly if at all and yet carcasses aren't stacked end on end. You do see the occasional frisbee, but not as often as you'd see in the Americas.
Dogs just stare at you when you drive up and slowly and I mean slowly move along so you can pass. I'm not advocating running them over, I like dogs and feed a group of wild ones that patrol around the house we're building. The puppies of the head bitch went home with the workers in the past week and they greet me at the head of my drive and move fairly quickly as they anticipate some grub when we do a drive out to the building site. Funny though only a few actually enter into the walls of our compound the rest stay outside and lay on the road only to bark if something unusual occurs, not just the odd car or bike riding down our country lane but strangers to them will be barked at with a greater frequency the closer they drive down the entrance to get to our driveway. They number 10-12 as a few local dogs like to hang out with them.
Although they are good dogs to us they have the same me move to traffic attitude the other dogs have. I know that Thais have a particular love for dogs but you'd think Darwinism would show survival of the fittess not the slowest and laziest.
My next rant will be on Pink houses pink rooms and pink curtains or is my mother in law crackers

Grandson will start taking piano lessons in a couple of weeks, and only I seem to see the need for him a keyboard at home. As he will be 4 yo in November I don't want to put a lot into it ,just something that will can represent the notes reasonably well. I'll be bringing an old upright over in a few months and I've a  Casio WK-210 that I'm also bringing to tide him over a few years if it's not a passing phase.
So I'm looking for a small electronic piano as with small children they seem to lose interest quickly and don't wanna let MIL just shop as she tends to spend first and ask questions later. After all it's not her money
Any ideas/ Thanks
