Am now in Sri Racha.

Flight down, got seated next to two Indian guys – of course the fat guy had to sit in the middle. Even though they were sitting next to each other, when they talked they yelled, mostly because they had a tendency to talk at the same time. I have no idea what they were talking about but the guy in the middle often got quite excited, jumping around and digging his elbow into me with each twist and turn. Finally he fell asleep and drowned out the jet engines and my ipod with his snoring. Being Indian, I thought they might have ordered a special veggie meal and was looking forward to checking that out, at least, but they just went for the standard chicken rice.

Unpacked now, I find that there are ten electrical chargers/adapters in my bag. Let’ see:

  1. mobile phone
  2. blackberry (no data service here, a peaceful weekend lies ahead)
  3. laptop
  4. wireless travel router
  5. inMotion iPod speakers
  6. Archos
  7. GPS thingie
  8. DVD drive for laptop
  9. digital camera
  10. bluetooth earpiece (but I don’t think I brought the actual unit that this charges)

This is seriously insane.

Well, at least the interwub seems to be working normally here. All my RSS feeds are coming in, NY Times page loads, lotsa catching up to do.

I would place strong odds on my having some seafood tonight. Thai-style fried rice with crabmeat, if I have any say in this.
