"Hellii Kopptter"

From our very arrival we started hearing a phrase that kept being repeated. It's definintely one of those "lost in translation" things. The curious thing was that everyone would be looking, pointing or fondling Levi as they repeated this strange phrase and laughing. It wasn't until a day later that we finally figured out what the big deal was. All the locals, especially the ladies, think Levi is the spitting image of Harry Potter. Must be the first movie.
Anyway - Levi is getting the lion share of the attention here in Bangkok. We thought Quinn with her blonde hair and blue eyes would draw the most attention - but then we realized we're in Asia where male progeny are just more important.
Levi's getting a little less disturbed by all the attention with every encounter. Poor guy - being mauled by all the Thai ladies.

  1. Hope you are enjoying the weather. It has been a blizzard all morning (Fri Dec 4th) and no plans of stopping during the weekend. Traffic was terrible.
