Reporter in exile in Thailand

Todd Ruiz, the former politics reporter at the Pasadena Star-News and hand at other newspapers hereabouts, has landed in Bangkok. He's blogging about the political turmoil there and calls his blog Reporter in Exile. From the first post two weeks ago:

I'm an economic and cultural refugee. I've dropped anchor in Bangkok, Thailand after a stint in Morocco. Too damn French there.

This blog might provide a window into life as an expat. It could bore you with rants and musings. There could possibly be chatter about all manner of profanities that appeal to this geek, from algorithms to Zoroastrianism. Pre-emptive apologies should I discuss the games I play.

Expect to see a lot of Thai politics - compelling stuff. Especially with everything going on at the moment. I'll provide a primer for those who are intrigued by such things.
