First Thing In The Morning To Immigration,

in and out in a couple of minutes and I am OK for 1 year, on the way back we stopped of for some fresh fruit at the market almost opposite the top of Soi 5 Jomtien,

the market has a bit of everything, flowers, fish and meat,

a few of the seasons last mango's for a slushie tonight, as well as some broccoli, opposite the market beer bar building is going on a pace, almost as far as the eye can see,

beyond and to the right of these buildings more foundations are being laid,

I wonder if the area can support so many beer bars,

then home for breakfast, around mid day I met up with Mark at Tuk Com the IT Center, we were going to look at a few laptop computers, I will travel with one next time we are on holiday so we can update the blog when we have time every day,

so time for reflection on which one to buy as we drank our coffee at Starbucks watching the world go by on Pattaya Tai,

a decision made, it was off to Wattana Computers to order one, we decided on a Acer Aspire 4750G Notebook, it comes with Intel® Core™ i5-2410M/i5-2520M/i5-2540M processor (3 MB L3 cache, 2.30/2.50/2.60 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.90/3.20/3.30 GHz, DDR3 1333 MHz, 35 W), supporting Intel® 64 architecture, Intel® Smart Cache, whatever all of that means, also we have asked the company to call round and put in a wi-fi system, we are getting ready for next years purchase of a Samsung Smart television which needs a Internet connection for some reason, so on Monday when he calls round we hope all will be working well,

as we were in the area we called in for some frozen sausages from KPK Foods,

the to the Friday night market, it did not look too promising, dark clouds in the skies,

opposite the bar a car dealership was taking bookings for a test drive,

although still early the food aisles had a few people looking at what was on offer,

the fruit drink stall,

there are still a few gaps in the pet stalls, but the most popular stalls are the ones selling foods for pets, there must be 4 or 5 of them,

a few fish at the one last remaining freshwater fish stall,

also some accessories on display,

then back to the bar along one of the food aisles,

if you are even the slightest bit hungry do not walk along here, so many delicious tit bits to tempt you!

back to the bar, the car dealership had laid out tables and chairs with some greenery,

although still cloudy the rain held off, at the bar we meet up with Bill, later Juu joined us so we drank the night away,

later a friend of Juu's arrived, one of the kids was wearing one of these 'T' shirts with a flashing light on the front of it, the light reacts to sound, just clap your hands and it flashes, I guess it peels off before it goes in the washing machine,

then home feet up for Land der schwarzen Sonne, I had seen a short piece of this movie many years ago, but when I tried to buy it on E-Bay it was ridiculously expensive if purchased as Mountains of the Moon, but I found the German version with English soundtrack and German subtitles at a much more reasonable price, so I bought it and was glad I did, the story is about one of perhaps the worlds greatest travellers Sir Francis Richard Burton, fluent in over 20 languages, he left his mark on history, along with John Hanning Speke explored Africa when nothing was known of it's interior, the film follows their friendship during their travels, also shows how the Royal Geographical Society and other outside interests played Burton and Speke against each other for their own gain when the travelers returned, they left Zanzibar in June 1857 and, after exploring the East African coast for six months to find the best route inland, became the first Europeans to reach Lake Tanganyika in February 1858, a great film to watch and of course based on true events as recorded in their journals,

it was late so just one episode of Porridge and we were off to bed.
