Night Before Phuket

So we still in Bangkok atm... found out that we cant upload the pictures because my sister didn't bring the connector for the camera and there is no way im going to edit video footage here and then upload it. So I've decided to create this blog as text only till I get back to my home PC :), then the fun will begin with videos to upload and pics and to fix and make this blog a bit more eligible. What else can I say... well I love Thai woman, they are so petit... The malls are incredible, yesterday I walked into a mall the size of cavendish and all they sold were clothes. The shops are way smaller and there are so many more of them. Then just down the road there is another cavendish 5 stories high that only sells electronics. If the electronics were only cheaper. They are slightly cheaper and you don't really get to cash in on the garantees... bummer :(. There was also a mall for hi-fi equipment and you can get like a amp that has old um resistors that light up on the front of the box. Huge things :). You can also get things in some stores from back in the 60's where things were so "chilled" and hipped out man. All I can say is that the shopping is great... Today we decided to book the ticket, not online but well at the airport. Lets say that taxi's if you arent carefull can rip you off though the ripoff costs only like R20 its like 1000baht, but some places are more than double the price. Like the hotel limo, haha, the car is just a mercedes instead of the other nissan taxi's. What a joke. O and one thing im going to try and get footage of tomorrow before we leave is the taxis some of them are supped up to look like the cars from need for speed... really cool but not so great when the one taxi service has pink supped honda's... lol. We ate at a resturant yesterday and my sister almost cried for a good 15 minutes... and people the massages are so worth it. Didn't go tonight, although there is still time... hehe. My sister has maybe gone way over her limit for baggage and still hasn't bought anything for herself... pity.... so im going to push that we are here for ourselves. Ooo and after the blog i made yesterday walked past a shop I've been walking past the last few days and got some very very cool pants. Damit wish I could post the pics... Hmmm there is just so much to say that I forget most of it, like the hotel is a ripoff, the beer is insanely priced. The convenience stores like 7 eleven, which yes they do have here, you can buy beer and sweets and everything will cost you less than R20. Just today I bought 3 packets of sweets, 2 beers, 1 large chips, and a one litre fanta... all for less than R20. The other thing I forgot to mention is that becuase the convenience stores sell booze most people will sit outside and get drunk. Its not that common but most places will have some people outside drinking, makes for an amazing atmosphere... Had some of the local beer... I'll tell you what, I could seriously get used to it, it's light but you can drink it... nah that doesn't work. So till the next blog, cheers, and I seriously do promise to format this blog when I get back, feel kinda bad that it's going to be a mess, but hey I'm on holiday so whateva... the pics will come shortly too, most probably after the 30th of January. Till next time...
