About me
having beer with my friend Dong Hwan (in cap) in Korea, 2007.
Hi. I’m Roppon (nickname Ae or Rop). I live Bangkok, a city of great food but terrible traffic. I’m an introvert who likes peace and quiet.
This blog serves as a personal logbook containing my observations on life. I don’t talk much in real life. Thus, this is also my way of sharing some thoughts to my family/friends.
I found the love in running and started running regularly since Jan 2009. The blog therefore also contains my reflections on the training sessions and races.
Thanks for visiting. Have a good day.
Hi Roppon,
Just been looking through your blog, it’s really interesting to read from the perspective of someone that has traveled as much as you. I have this fun little quiz that I thought you might like http://www.tripbase.com/quiz/whichadventurer. It helps you find out what famous adventurer you are most like and it had a nice small, colourful badge that looks great with a travel-related site. It’d be great if you could take a look and if you like it, maybe post it on your site?
Thanks,
Anna

Cool, that’s got to be one of the best results! Thanks for taking the quiz,

Hello again Roppon,
I know that you had fun with the ‘Which Adventurer?’ quiz I sent you, but now we have this really exciting tool to help you calculate the impact of your travelling on the environment. Though we love to travel, carbon emissions are an issue that is starting to worry a lot of us. The Flight CO2 Calculator will hopefully encourage us all to be more socially responsible by perhaps considering greener travel options.
If you are interested, take a look at http://www.tripbase.com/flight-Co2-calculator. It would be great if you could post the calculator on your site/blog. I really think it would add value to your site as a whole by sparking awareness, interest and debate from your followers. I hope you like it!
Many thanks ,
Anna

Hey that’s funny. I have a friend who teaches at St.Georges (Lisa Conway). She probably wasn’t there when you were. I visited that school the one and only time I was in Newport. Beautiful school and city! I’d have a hard time running in that heat in Bangkok, good job!

Hi Nicole. Hmm… don’t remember her. I was there for just a year though, and it was a long time ago.
Yes it’s definitely tough running in hot/humid condition here. But it’s okay though. Just one small challenge.
Thanks for your comment.
