I've tried....i really have tried...but i guess slow dial up speed internet doesn't get you very far these days...well it doesn't get my photos anywhere that's for sure! I've taken all these great photos from Angkor but i can't share them with you because they are too big and i can't seem to upload them to my site...so many hours of wasted time...

yesterday i went to pantip, the centre for electronics...the akihabara of bangkok...i purchased a few things, nothing big, but literally took me forever walking around in circles, bargaining, looking for stores i'd been to already but not being able to...eek...

bangkok is well known for piracy...not the eye patch wearing, parrot toting...dvds and music...i was in a store waiting for a few dvds to be compiled when the lookout guy outside runs into the store and everyone starts throwing things under tables and into boxes...it was so hectic i jumped up and got myself out of the store...lo and behold, the police...there are signs up all over this place about how the ministry of intellectual property doesn't support the activities of these stores and if you know of anyone violating these laws to contact these ministry but who is going to do that? i can't imagine many people who do business there are going to rat on each other and the tourists...i'm sure they have better things to do like flipping through dvd and music catalogues...oooh, the OC seasons 1 and 2!
