My home during my faculty development leave (sabbatical) 2004-2005

Thailand

Our house in our secret village on a secret island in Thailand (sorry, we just do not want to have this place spoiled by more tourists).   It's our neighbor's home as well as you see.
 
Alina and Odin at our breakfast table. We are so glad having a breakfast cook that spoils us every morning. Not to mention the filter coffee machine that I managed to import to the island.   Odin the breakfast king
 
Our usual way to get around the island. A Honda Dream 125cc takes a lot of offroad abuse.   Our village seen from the Chinese temple. We life just 50 meters right of the right transmission tower.
 
Alina took the photo of us at the pier where we feel pretty much at home with the fishers.   Alina at the school ball receiving her congratulations for her dance performance.
    

My Office in Paradise

     
     
Alina and Odin filling her up at the local gas station.   On the way from our home to my office in the mountains.
 
The view from the upstairs of my office. In front below me the bay above me in the back the mountains raise up to 600 meters high.   The view from my office desk. Here I get some serious work done. I have electricity in the cottage and the cellular modem connects me to the Internet. There is even running water from the waterfall. 

Chulalongkorn University

The Sociology Department at Chulalongkorn University Bangkok.   Not only was I impressed by the hospitality of the faculty, but the good food served in the outside cafeteria where I dined with students.
