Hmmm... I was able to locate a scanner that doesn't believe in gray tones and this was the result. It turns out the same place won't let me upload pictures so I'd have to go to two seperate internet cafes to post anything. So I'm still looking around...

Let's see. Last update was the gay bar! The next day I paid my tuition and ran into some people that I'd briefly met before:

(I'm having to use Paint to resize and save these pictures before I upload them - Paint compresses them way too much so there's no detail at all. Aiyo, where's some good 'ol Photoshop...) When I first walked on to Ramkhamhaeng a year and a half ago I really just liked the "feel" of the place. It reminded me of the Singapore American School back in the 60's. I still get that feeling, actually. Some things remind me of the old International Baptist Church ... I love the library here. I'll post about 20 pictures of the first chance I get.

Mmm. So I was sitting around with those people for two hours or so. They're all in a club that's for people from a certain province in the south. They actually invited me on their three-day trip down there next month.

The Big Wat at the Grand Palace (could google the name but mee times running out). The girl on the left, Ning, goes to Chulalongkorn. It's the oldest, most prestigious university in Thailand (RU is tamada - "so so")

So we went over to her university to walk around and eat at an ice cream stall that's been around for a long time. Very pretty campus. We wanted to get a look around so we went up to the top (19th) floor of the science building. The other two girls went back to the ground level to use the bathroom when I noticed that one elevator went to "R". So Ning and I went up... those buildings on the right are the school's oldest, I think. I'd seen pictures of them before. Ning was really excited to be on the roof... she was smiling like she was going insane or something...

We went over to MBK to look for a phone for me. This cost 1200baht or $30 which is very cheap for over here. The phones the other girls had were 3000-4000b. I think it's good! Oh, that's my new number too.

So yesterday I was just sort of bumming around. That's when I found the crap scanner. I ran into everybody when I was coming back to the apartment. I went with them to a big dinner then we walked over and sat outside the indoor stadium for an hour or so. Then ice cream. Very, very nice evening lazing around laughing. Today:

School boy.
