And We Were Off To The Market,
so we parked up in Friendship super market,
there were hardly any people there, we wanted to beat the rush and the heat,
over the road a shop was being blessed by monks,
Diana went to the shoe stalls, I made my way through the main market,
lots of shirts,
with fruit and other goodies for sale,
the small fish stall in the center of the market,
but this was what I had called in for,
then on to the plant stalls, orchids in abundance,
I really liked these ones,
as well as stalls with predefined pitches, there are mobile one like this,
going past this one the smell of fresh orange juice was almost too tempting,
but it looks more impressive at night when hundreds of blue LEDs light it up,
we made a move to Walking Street for breakfast,
the Samsung sign still working I am happy to say,
the view looking towards the Pattaya City sign,
a better view looking towards Nagklua,
it seems strange to think when I first came out here there were hardly any high rise buildings on Beach Road,
some of the local fishermen making their way to work,
another view of the bay,
and the City sign,
a closer look at The Sea Zone dinning area,
the Pattaya Beer Garden kitchen, it was still quiet early, so not many customers,
why do I like Fitzcarraldo so much? although the name Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, Fitzcarraldo as he was known in the film, (the locals could not pronounce the name), he was known in real life as Carlos Fermin Fitzcarrald, a rubber baron who lived in Iquitos, they both did indeed transport a ship over a mountain, the difference being in real life it was taken to pieces, in the film hauled up by ropes and pulleys and under it's own steam power to the front anchor winch,
the film had a back drop of war between Peru and Ecuador, oil wells, arguments and huge problems with both local and impotrted extras, well worth buying for the story behind the making of the film Burden of Dreams, which came with the DVD I purchased, for me a great film,
to round of the evening MI5, episode #9.6, the CIA provides MI-5 with what is supposed to be a hacker-proof computer system, Cybershell, but Tariq realizes that the Grid has been hacked into already, Oops! in episode #9.7, Harry and Ruth realize that Lucas is in big trouble and take him into custody, there he reveals his true identity, double Oops!! before giving up for the evening, episode #9.8, Lucas is on the run and has taken Ruth prisoner, He gives Harry a simple choice: the Albany file for Ruth's life, Harry is determined not to let Ruth down again and decides to make the swap, could this be triple Oops?!! then for us off to bed.
