Should be running around like a chicken with my head cut off, but instead spent most of the day scratching my head for the perverseness of one computer on a 3-computer network refusing to print to the network printer. I felt great when i got the other 2 working, and still wonder what i did wrong for the 3rd one….
It felt good to get out and go to BigC, a Walmart-like shopping centre, and buy some stuff. Ink cartridges are behind locked glass, and the employee with the key looked at me like a potential thief, at least it seemed. He ushered me over carefully to a cashier, where i waited for the lady for around 3 minutes. Finally the key-man came over and said this cashier was closed, and i should go to the front of the store. I didn’t even feel anything. Guess that means i’m almost Thai-ascized. Things you could not imagine in Japan…..Good and bad. Like the bus ticket taker who let me ride for free the other day because she didn’t have change for a 100baht bill. Hmm, maybe i could ride everywhere for free if i flashed a 1,000baht bill???
I got my first junk food in quite a while – green pea curls – buy one at 18baht (53cents) and get one free. That, along with a bag of 5baht rice, 6baht tofu, and 5baht expired wing beans (raw), along with a touch of ketchup, formed my meal in my guest room at the school. Yummy while listening to Thai lessons on my computer 🙂
