well, firstly, my bangkok trip was terrific. it was just a massive three-day shopping spree. spent like. almost. 800 RINGGIT THERE?! brought back about 13.6kg of CLOTHES in a NEW backpack which Ken bought there. w00t.

Gosh, the sightseeing day was the worst. FIVE BUMPY, UNCOMFORTABLE, HOT AND UNNECESSARY wasted hours in that darn van, going all over Thailand just to see a few spots. And we didn't even get a chance to see all of them. Bloody expensive.

Besides mom trying squeeze EIGHT of us(1 child, 7 adults, the 1 child is me) into ONE suite, which had two rooms, one bathroom, a kitchen and a livingroom, the worst part of the visit was the inability to speak the local language. DOH. We were So alienated over there.

KOP KUN KAP!
SAWADEE KAP!

Gosh, what a terrible nightmare. But it was a good trip. Had loads of fun bargaining my ass off. There was one of the markets we went to, the Suan-Lum Night Bazaar. First shop with nice cargo pants which i went into gave me a 350 Baht starting price, so my brother helped me for a 300 Baht mark. She was quite hesitant iniatially, but at last she decided to let us have it. But the problem was that there was no size for me, for that pants! the only one i wanted, had no size for me, while all the rest did. And so we said we'll come back later.

As we strutted around, we found another shop, with a rack of nice cargo pants, similar to the ones the last shop we went to, and so i inquired.

"How much?"

He took the calculator.

"I give you good price."

He typed on the calculator. 1. 7. 5. 0.

Haha. I was laughing in my head, starting to clip the pants back onto the hangar, quietly.

"Okei okei, i give you 20% discount, 1...4...0...0..."

WAHAHAHAHA. Still laughing in my head. We walked away.

"OKEI OKEI! HOW MUCH YOU WANT. YOU PRESS HERE"

I typed 3 0 0 on the calculator, and i looked at his face.

"NO! PLEASE! GIMME MOORE! MOOOORE MOOOORE!!! PLEASE!"

And so we walked away further, looking back, waving at him. Haha you should have seen the look on his face.

"OKEI OKEI! TREE HUNG LERD BAHT! which one you like!"

Haha. he turned around and snapped in jokingly disappointment, "AIYA!"

Can you imagine if some tourist actually paid....hmm... 1750 Baht divided by 8.81... TWO HUNDRED RINGGIT for some ordinary pants... haha. Siao Kia.

Well, above all that, it was a really good experience. Elephant show, Cultural Show, Shopping spree, Bad Pollution... Thailand rox.

Jomi, out. 2.55pm







My name is Jon without a H. They call me the boy who's in the wrong academic course - I'm doing ACCA. You'll figure out the rest.

I sway in and out of basketball, rock climbing, frisbee and gym-ing as sports, but I always stick to graphic design and photography. My dream is to either start and develop an advertising and design company, or design and implement a revolutionary accounting and control system for a multi-national IT company. Sounds crazy?

Watch me!

Oh, and I'm a massive Taylor Swift fan.
