The Road Less Travelled
Danger ahead, maties! Of course, I had to see what all the fuss was about – turns out they were just cutting trees on the side of the road, nothing special.

Panasonic VS6
So I’ve been watching the price of things, all kinds of things, here in Thailand. One of the bargains I noticed early on was for Japanese-made mobile phones other than Sony-Ericsson. In Thailand, Nokia is the absolute king, which is probably responsible for this trend (Sony still has brand power here so this explains their exclusion above). In fact, LG and Samsung cellphones are also more popular and expensive than their Japanese brethren, which I feel is ridiculous when I compare the products, yet am more than willing to take advantage of.

Faith in Protein
Just a quick warning: I am possibly the worst person in the world to hang out with if you’re a dedicated vegetarian. I corrupted another one last night, with a tasty (insert joke here) Lao sausage, and she wants to go out and try a steak tonight. No complaints here.
