First Stop To The TuckCom Centre,

it is on Pattaya Tai,


 this is the place to go if you want anything top do with computers, mobile telephones or any of the bits and pieces that make them work, this is the rear entrance,

 and the front/corner looking from Pattaya Tai, it is on the same side of the road as Friendship, just a 100 yards or so along from it,

 we needed a couple of plugs that adapt the UK 3 pin plug into the Thai 2 flat pin that is used out here, so after buying those a look around Soi Bukaow market, as you might expect lots of garlic for sale,

 and a few plants, although the plant and some of the clothes sections had more than a few places empty, stall holders going home for Christmas I guess,

 but the aquatic shop was still here and open,

 Diana caught me up in the café where we have an ice coffee or two,

 next to Friendship to buy some ribs for tomorrows bar-b-q, but disaster, none in stock, small or large, completely sold out by midday, so on the way home we called into Tesco Lotus who had plenty in stock, 

 next stop the Weekend Market on Theppresitt Road, looking to wards Jomtien,

 and looking inland, one of the stalls on the left selling extra large 'T' shirts, 

 at the area near the bar a advertisement for the market,

 the Monday to Thursday beer garden, but I do not know what actually goes on as we have never been to the market on those nights,

 but tonight a show was going to take place,

 the finale on Sunday, so tonight was for rehearsals,

 it was still early so there were not many people looking at the fruit and bug stalls,

 or in the pet aisle for that matter,

 I am not sure of the phenomena of owning small dogs has yet swept the UK, but over here it is all the rage, so of course you have to make them look nice, hence lots of dog outfits for them to wear,

 the sun starting to set over Jomtien,

 I had by now returned to the bar when as the sun finally set the show began,

 the troupe had the most flamboyant costumes,

 all dancing to hit songs,

 with most of the performers in time as this was of course a rehearsal for Sunday's final,

 there were of course many acts, much to the delight of the huge crowd watching,

 lots of chairs had been placed around the stage area, whilst we were there we were also joined by Brian along with his wife Sa and her cousin Nan,

 next home, but on the way a quick stop off,
 to buy some herbs to marinade the ribs in overnight for tomorrows bar-b-q in one of the other near by markets,

 a full moon tonight,

after our evening meal Clash of the Titans in glorious 3D, yes I know we watched the second one first which is why I must admit last night a few things seemed out of whack, but watching this one it made sense of last nights sequel, though I have to say the 3D effects in this one left a lot to be desired especially compared to last nights Wrath of the Titans, but still a great way to spend a part of the evening,

Jurassic Park rounded our evening off, it was one part one in the trilogy we had bought, what can you say that already has not been said about it? we really enjoyed watching it on BluRay again, then with that we were off to bed.
