Good Old Bangkok.. Anybody want a massage?

lol, it's nutz here, It's so much better when you are not sick. Been wandering around town, dropped off my glasses to get fixed, checked into the hotel (make sure you book in advance, the rate sux if you just show up) it's the Viengtai hotel on Rambuttri road (a block from KhaoSan Road) and you can book it via Hostelworld.com

hmm...what else, got a Thailand number good for the 3 days that I'm here, can't believe that I just barely made it into the store to get it, but am amazed at how cheap rates are here, 99 baht for the Sim, and then local airtime is 6 baht per minute (now at 32 baht to each Canadian Dollar, that's pretty cheap). Long distance sux though, 18 baht on a crappy line to Nairobi.. but still overall pretty sweet!

found myself in the middle of the 'red light' district, everybody wanting to sell me a massage or a ping pong show... :) almost went and got my tongue pierced, but the shop was closed when I got there... :( bought a load of T-shirts... and a CD/MP3 Player... I can't beleive the shit I go through for music. After the Elio blew up in Nairobi, like really, the drive is toast. now I am craving to listen to all this music that I have, so after some gruelling bargaining, got a Sony MP3/CD player for 1900 Baht (60bux or so), which isn't too bad of a deal I guess... seriously though, with all the music devices I have now, I should have just bought a freakin iPod.

Here are some of the shirts I bought.
