Like a previous commentator, I am somewhat of a "failed academic"--moreso a recent refugee from doctoral studies, mainly due to Lao visa troubles and, more importantly, the birth of not one but two children! As a sleep deprived young parent, reading all of your blogs has been a great way to stay plugged into what's going on in Southeast Asia, and thankfully in a way that avoids the shallowness that sometimes passes as news.

I also often have my best ideas after a big Cambodian meal. I look forward to the 1000th post almost as much as I look forward to the next Harry Potter book. Thank you for your continuing support. Kind regards, S Dear New Mandala,
Congratulations on your 500th comment. I also often have my best ideas after a big Cambodian meal. I look forward to the 1000th post almost as much as I look forward to the next Harry Potter book.

Thank you for your continuing support.
Kind regards,
S

I just recently joined but I have to emphasise that I consider this blog as a fantastic forum where academics, non-academics and failed academics (like myself) can join in a debate, productive or unproductive it may be. It is important to remove the barriers between those who deal with Southeast Asia professionally and those who just have the chance to deal with this exiting region on a rather spare time basis. Again: well done! My warmest congratulations!

Mainland Southeast as a whole gains a coherence in your blog that it loses when you live there.
