We are settled in a small apartment in Chiang Mai now for the next month-ish. Our visas will expire before the month is up, so we may need to do a visa run to Rangoon or Hanoi to finish the month.
The Trip Advisor link for for our apartment is below:

It is s a studio apartment with a full kitchen and the local supermarket is like a portal to Europe. Much of the produce and dairy are organic and the meat even looks decent. The prices are a little high and many ingredients are more expensive than going out to eat (a small bag of pasta costs 3.00CDN), so I have had to be crafty with the shopping.
We have a washing machine and a place to hang clothing for the first time since we left Canada. That combined with hot water on demand means I may not smell for several weeks. There is also excellent Internet access and air conditioning, but our electricity is extra. I am trying to be frugal with extra costs because 20.00 a night rent is a little expensive and we may need to rent a moped to get around- Chiang Mai does not have a good public transit system and the taxis are expensive as a result.
Simon is to start on homework this morning, so I need to give up the computer to him. Will post again soon.
