Where we work

Since Natalie is composing some sort of awesome opus next to me as a check debate stuff on the web, I'll avoid the tally of the day.

For the past three days we have been doing our interneting at a little place up the street from our hotel (which despite their claims does not offer free internet, well unless "free" means $5 hour).

We entered some sort of monthlong school holiday where all of the other patrons are boys under the age of 15. All are sitting around, wearing headphones and playing world of warcraft with each other. Apparently this is a big game in Thailand because last night the local espn channel showed the World of Warcraft World (?) championships during prime time.

There is one kid though, who may at best be 8 years old and when he sits in the chair in front of his computer his legs can't touch the floor. All he does is sit there with headphones on playing some version of Mario Kart and giggling. He has done this now both times since we have been here and when we came in today we didn't see him. Sure enough about 15 minutes later we hear the same giggle/scream from the other room. He's back on the racetrack.

Sorry we haven't gotten more picture up, but we don't have a flash drive yet. Will try and add more graphics as we can.
