I bent the wire input for the power adaptor of my computer. I've actually managed to do this 3 times over the course of the last 5 years, but let's not get into that. The point is, this gave me an excuse to visit Chiang Mai this weekend, because it has an Apple center. For a little more than 36 hours, I've felt like I've been in an amusement park. Sure, I visited the zoo where they had racoons on display, but then walking into two different malls made me feel like I was on another planet. I even watched a movie in a theatre...The Pink Panther with Thai subtitles... a dumb movie, but still, a movie in a movie theatre. Such different stimulation from what I'm used to in Mae Sai.

Of course, I walked into 2 malls yesterday, and neither of them were the ones that had the Apple center (one of them had an Apple "corner" which meant they only sold ipods). So I'm off to visit my final mall in Chiang Mai today before hopping on a bus back to Mae Sai.....Internet's also way more expensive here than back North, so I'm gonna cut this short. Another entry due soon!

I was beginning to worry about you -- it has been so long since we'd heard from you! I'm glad it was just a bent wire.

Wow! Kulture! You sound a little like Alice Through the Looking Glass with lights & colours & strange people swirling all around you. The Pink Panther is enough of a strange experience without Thai subtitles!
