Yes, the new house is wonderful on the inside. I took a few pictures as well, but the real gems are the "video tours" we shot of the place, inside and out. Yes, that balcony is right outside of our bedroom/office and it's really nice to go out there, although during much of the day it's rather hot, as you might guess. We'll show you the videos when we get back; I haven't played around with converting them to a different format yet, but they're way too big for the web as they are. Speaking of "hot," it's absolutely burning up here today, easily the hottest day we've had yet. The weather says it's 91, and it's expected to be 95 tomorrow! It's funny, because I was thinking not long ago that it's been fairly comfortable the whole time we've been here. Not today! Yeah, it was great to get the whole dentist thing behind me. I can't believe how great my teeth and gums look already. Definitely have to start keeping after them the <em>right</em> way, though. Thailand has indeed been absolutely wonderful for medical care. Apparently it's renowned for being a haven of affordable and excellent medical services, because A told me even rich oil sheiks from Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. make special trips out here for health care. Talking of which, Apple had her checkup at the doctor's today and she's doing great. The pathology report shows no malignancy and the surgical incision has healed so well that it's almost invisible already. Tonight we're going out to dinner with my mother-in-law's entire side of the family, to a fancy Chinese restaurant. We were supposed to do it the weekend after we got here, as a sort of welcome, but Apple's surgery had a way of postponing it. Anyway, should be a good time. We're taking the camera, so we'll see what happens. ;) I'll post again when I have more! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Yes, the new house is wonderful on the inside.

The new house is gorgeous, and I bet it's just as beautiful inside. Nantana's parents did a wonderful job designing it. I love the balcony like area on the second floor - can you go outside there? I've always wanted a place like that. Hooray about the dentist! That's a great obstacle to overcome, and I'm glad you finally had a good experience. (And the phobia was passed on to me as well -I had my time of coming to grips with it too, and now I don't mind it at all.) Sounds like the Western dentists need to come and take a lesson from the Thai's. Apparently, Thailand seems to be lucky for you when it comes to medical care :) Everything in this post sounds fabulous (with the exception of the fish stomach stew...)
