Back in China

If you haven’t realized I am back in China writing my Beijing Olympics blog.

Would you eat a cricket?

Thailand definitely has some challenging culinary delights. I have seen people munch away on these like potato chips. Possibly a good source of fibre?

Who needs a television?

I never get bored of sitting on the beach watching the world go by. The weather has cleared up a bit so the sunsets are much nicer now. I took a lot of pictures tonight, but this one is my favorite. I haven’t done anything to modify the picture - I just like it how the boy looks like he is glowing.

They love their fireshows in Thailand.

Slight detour

I am back in Asia now after almost two months in Australia. I am now in Koh Chang, Thailand. It is my fourth time here. Each time I come here it is more expensive and there are more resorts. It is the tail end of the high season now. Seems to be a lot of Europeans around.

Koh Chang is only five hours away from Bangkok, so it is pretty convenient to get to. I also want to go to Chiang Mai and then from there I will make my way to China.

First trip for 2008

I am back now in Bangkok after spending a couple of months with my family in Australia. I bought a Canon Digital SLR just before I left and after using it here in Thailand I have had a small problem with it.

So my first thing to do has been locating the Canon repair center in Bangkok. For the record the address is:

Canon Marketing (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
10th Floor (Camera Fixing Room), Bangkok City Tower,
179/34-45 South Sathorn Road, Thungmahamek,
Sathorn, Bangkok 10120

Phone: 0-2344-9888

To get there you need to go to Chong Nonsi and get off at exit 2, walk towards the footbridge and cross the intersection. Bangkok City Tower is on your left once you cross the foot bridge.

Hopefully, I will be able to pick it up by tomorrow so I can continue with my travels.

Taking a break from this blog

I won’t be writing much on this website for a while as I am too busy with my Beijing and Olympic website.

Just got a bit hit of traffic yesterday with over 6000 visitors! Be sure to tell your friends about my site - lots of fun things to come.
