Phuket – Songkran – Happy New Year!

I have a habit of walking out of hotel rooms straight into the middle of festivals. Today was no exception as it’s the Thai New Year – Songkran. How do they celebrate over here? Well, seeing as it’s the height of Summer you walk around the streets with huge buckets of water and throw them…

Sunday 9th April 2006 – Phuket – Recording + even newer “Do you like…?”

After a very nice holiday yesterday, today it was back to work. For this week that consists of working on new recordings and the Thai CD masters. I’ve also done an even newer version of the “Do you like …?” remix, which CD Owners can download now. After using it with the Thai teachers last…

Saturday 8th April 2006 – Phuket – Nice & easy

Thursday 6th April 2006 – Thailand – Life is good

I was about to write here “my life is good”, but it can’t be just me, where ever I go people are having an amazing time. It’s true that the most interesting days to blog about are the ones where you never have time to write! And it’s also true that if you want something…

Wednesday 5th April 2006 – Bangkok – Ships in harbour + CD6

Spent the morning re-mixing and re-programming versions of the songs for the Thai schools, e.g. things like the “Where are you from?” song. Then another 3 hours of workshops in the afternoon. It’s so nice having three days to do this. In Japan it’s so difficult to get even 3 hours. But those are taken…
