Searching for Wine in Thailand...

It was one of those weeks where you question your thought process of teaching. Seems like all the teachers were having a bad week. I compare it to mid-season of seasonal jobs. Half way through the season you are wore out and tired of it... unfortunately this job lasts a bit longer than a seasonal job.

With the boys Muay Thai training, Emily and I went in search of wine. Emily is from wine country as well, and we both appreciate a good wine and cheese.

Thailand puts a heavy tax on wine. It is probably 5x the price of what it should be. To drive down the costs, alot of bars use a wine mix. It comes in powder form!

We had discovered a bar in one of the soi's during our wanderings. It said it had red and white wine for 40 baht. We were sold. It wasn't bad... but it definitely wasn't what we were used to. It looked the part, but it must have been the powder mixed with water and grape juice.

Eh, for 40 baht you can't go wrong :)
