Geek in Thailand by Jody Houton Pdf

A Geek in Thailand is a light-hearted but perceptive look at one of the world's most visited countries from the viewpoint of a young foreign resident. More than just a Thai travel guide, it offers a concise but insightful take on Thailand for tourists, expats, would-be expats, and others—anyone, in fact, with an interest in visiting or learning about the Land of Smiles. Packed with short articles accompanied by sidebar stories and interviews and evocative color photographs, the author paints a vivid and revealing picture of a country built on a deep reverence for nation, religion and monarchy, yet with its own distinct, individualistic perspective. Subjects range from the touchstones of Thai culture and history, such as its politics and economy, Buddhism and folklore, to chapters on traditional Thai design and craftsmanship, including its highly acclaimed architecture and fine silk textiles. There are also chapters on the globally popular Thai food and entertainment like kickboxing and cabaret. Chapters on the Thai character and cultural do's and don'ts will allow the reader to go beyond the Thai smile. For visitors to the country, the author includes his top ten things to see and do in the main tourist destinations as well as an account of the main festivals and tips on getting around.

The Calculator and Other Stories by Mithran Somasundrum Pdf

These are four short stories about Vijay, a perennially broke translator in Bangkok who occasionally resorts to private detective work to help pay the bills. They were first published in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine between 2005 and 2011. In “On Soi Arab” a member of the US embassy in Bangkok tells Vijay about Ning, a Thai co-worker he likes, who has started behaving strangely. And has come into money. Surely she’s not stealing embassy secrets? In “Under Sapparn Phut,” Oot buys a valuable Buddha amulet for a low price in a night market. But since then, he tells Vijay, someone has been following him. In “The Farm in Ratchburi” a businessman called Nop wants to know why his company is failing. He doesn’t have money to pay Vijay, but brings along a 10,000 baht fighting cock as deposit. Nop’s life will turn out to be far more complicated than Vijay imagined. In “The Calculator” a human calculator from England goes missing in Bangkok, having drawn the attention of some powerful people.

The Geek's Guide to Wizarding Mastery in One Epic Tome by Megan O'Russell Pdf

Not all wizards were born to be heroes. Things not to do when you find out you’re a wizard: #1 Do not destroy your apartment with magical fire. You WILL NOT get the security deposit back. #2 Do not form an alliance with the guy who is trying to murder you. This will end badly. #3 Do not drag the girl you’re desperately in love with into your wizard mess. You risk her watching you fail miserably. #4 Under no circumstances should you get in the middle of an epic magical battle. Death will happen. Lots of death and bad things. This Epic Tome contains all four books in The Tale of Bryant Adams: How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin' Days Seven Things Not to Do When Everyone's Trying to Kill You Three Simple Steps to Wizarding Domination Five Spellbinding Laws of International Larceny Praise for How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin’ Days “This is a magical, fast-paced, fantasy packed—with a lovely dose of modern day teen—ride.” – Tonja “How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin' Days by Megan O'Russell is the funniest book for teens/middle grade I have read in so long!” – M.W. “Megan O'Russell's heart-stopping magical adventures get better and better and I can't wait for her next one!” – Sherry Author Interview Why did you choose to write a fantasy book that heavily involves a cell phone? Phones are a huge part of everyday life. Smart phone are these tiny pieces of massive technology we use everyday without really thinking about how astounding they are. But what if phones could be used for more than just scrolling through social media? What if an entire magical library could be hidden in your pocket? I wanted modern convenience to meet magic in a new way. What does Bryant Adams bring to the world of wizards that readers haven’t seen before? Bryant Adams is not your standard hero. He is not the chosen one, and the world may be doomed if he’s in charge of saving us all. Bryant is a geek—the nerdy sidekick of the coolest kid in high school—who’s trying really hard to survive being a wizard but is too terrified to talk to the girl of his dreams. He’s just a boy trying to get through his teen years without too much emotional damage…and then magic happens. Who would enjoy this book? If you like humor with a touch of snark, romance with a hint of wit, and magic that might destroy the world as we know it, Bryant Adams is the wizard for you.

A Geek in Korea by Daniel Tudor Pdf

For every fan of K-Pop music, Korean Wave dramas and Kimchi—or anyone intrigued by Korea and Korean culture—A Geek in Korea is a hip, new guide to the land of the Samsung smartphone and Gangnam Style. Author Dan Tudor first arrived in Korea on the eve of the 2002 World Cup when South Korea played Italy in the finals. What he saw inspired him to return and work in Korea. He served as The Economist magazine's Korea correspondent for three years, and he writes regular columns for the national daily Joongang Ilbo newspaper. Along the way, he has developed a great love and admiration for Korean culture and the Korean people. A Geek in Korea reinvents the culture guide for the Internet age. Packed with articles and photographs, it covers all the touchstones of Korean culture—from Buddhism and Confucianism to chapters on the traditional arts and disciplines like Taekwondo. There are chapters on cultural code words and norms; personal relationships; business and technology; and symbols and practices that are peculiarly Korean. A number of chapters are devoted to Korean pop culture, with attention to the stars, idols, and urban subcultures associated with them. For visitors to Korea, the author includes a mini-guide to his favorite neighborhoods in Seoul and other places of outstanding interest. Spotlighting the originality and creativity of the Koreans, debunking myths about them, and answering nagging questions like why they're so obsessed with education and success—Tudor has created the perfect book for the growing ranks of Koreaphiles in this inspired, insightful, and highly informative guide.

To protect her Nikki hires Apollo, her long-time friend and lover, who is magnificent at his job. He is also a clothes whore with an honest enthusiasm for life. Nikki and Apollo are the hottest couple in Manhattan. Betrayed by friends at every turn, set upon by bounty hunters and other elements of security, law enforcement and civil protection, they utilise the best hotels, the sexy Underground and the glorious city of Manhattan as their shield.

The Way Things Oughta' Be Told by Burt Grossman Pdf

He was pro football's version of Rush Limbaugh, a left defensive end with a right-sided view of the National Football League & America. His name is Burt Grossman, & although he was never politically correct, he was, without a doubt, the funniest guy in the NFL. And now, he's telling his story, & he's telling it THE WAY THINGS OUGHTA' BE TOLD. John Madden called Burt, "The funniest guy in football." Joe Namath said, "He's the best interview in the NFL." Burt has retired from the NFL & he has pulled off the muzzle. He's going public & he's taking aim at the twisted lunacy of football & the liberal wackos who, in his estimation, are ruining the American way of life. Brutally honest & outrageous, Burt, in his uniquely hilarious & sometime shocking say-anything-about-anyone style, is taking the reader on a journey through the locker room, out to the gridiron & on to the White House. Finally, a conservative stud other than Rush Limbaugh is stepping forward & telling it THE WAY THINGS OUGHTA' BE TOLD.
