Rice Grains

Well, I am not sure at all what is going on with my internet access. Today the manager and his son told me I need to buy a card to use internet. I tried to tell them that I am still getting free wireless, and according to the message on my screen the company is still in the testing stages. I don't think they got it. So I told them I would think about which card to buy and get back to them.

Later this afternoon, Luk was cleaning on 5th floor, so I had him come to my apartment in order to show him what I meant. Well, he sat down at the controls and played around for a while, then acknowledged that everything is OK. When I checked to see if he had deactivated my free service, I found that he had not. But a different screen appeared when I hit the internet button.

Then I was scared that he thought I wanted him to illegally wire me up for free. So I went downstairs and said I wanted to buy a card, which I now have, but am not using because I can still get online without any special code! AHHH! What to do??? Appreciate free internet as long as I have it, maybe???? I just don't want to be cheating anyone of anything.

Well, I wrote more on the internet issue than anyone really wants to know, I suppose. But I looked for a few pictures in my collection that I could post. Since I haven't taken any recent ones, I sorted through some earlier pictures that I think are worth showing. So following are some of those pictures.

A common sight along the street--cooked chicken heads, anyone??

Pictures of a much younger king are found all over the place.

Visiting a teak palace in Bangkok

Soon after I arrived in Thailand, I looked out my window to see a beautiful rainbow, that wonderful sign of promise.
