Does anyone know if there is a good Muay Thai training place near Portola Springs (or Irvine in general)?  My wife and son have been learning it in Thailand and would like to continue in Irvine.

I found TI from a link on the irvinehousingblog which I found shortly after I purchased my house in Irvine.  :-\  I'm hoping to learn a bit about Irvine and to fuel my fear that maybe I paid too much for my house.  ;)

The south as a whole is definitely a lot more religious, particularly Christian, than most of the country. 

Thank you for the heads up about this.  I would have not known that their were different types.

Now I am starting to get the drama comment.

Level 5 friendship sounds like a multi-level marketing term.  :)  "Ms. SoCal, if you up your brownie production to once a week and lay off the cross walk thing, I think we can bump you up to level 5."

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. We don't have any friends in Irvine itself, but I have some friends in Orange County, LA and further inland.  Some friends here in Southeast Asia have lived in California in the past. Irvine first probably came to my attention when I saw it on one of...

I am new to the forums and actually new to Irvine.  My wife and I closed on a home in Garden Hill a couple of weeks ago.  I am not sure if housing will blow up, but I'll share our story as to why we bought when we did. After six years living abroad, my wife and I decided to move back to the...
