Yam mamuang (Thai green mango salad)

It's hard to believe that it's been almost 3 weeks already since we arrived in Bangkok! The stress of packing up our apartment in Paris, the European winter and the farewell parties all seem like a distant memory now, as we have been busy settling down and starting a new life here. Stockings and sweaters have been replaced by sandals and sundresses, our decent-sized Parisian apartment in working-class Chateau Rouge by a huge one in a high-rise in one of the nicest parts of Bangkok. Between work and getting settled here, we haven't really had time to really start exploring the city as of yet but will definitely be doing so soon. For the time being though, we have been thoroughly occupied by the enjoyable yet arduous task of buying stuff for our apartment!

Live from Bangkok!

Sawasdee ka, dear friends! It's official...we are now residents of the 'City of Angels', otherwise known as Krung Thep, otherwise known as Bangkok, Thailand!!! It's been almost 2 weeks since we arrived, and it's been a blur of apartment hunting (we succeeded on that front and found a GREAT place!), shopping for said apartment, opening bank accounts and cell phones and all of the other things that one must do upon arriving in a new country.  It's all been very hectic and a bit stressful (thus the lack of posting here), but beyond that we are thrilled to have left the cold of Europe behind and to be here in the land of sunshine (and rain), smiling faces and incredible (and spicy) food!
