I thought it's a pretty good deal considering the spaciousness and the unlimited broadband internet connection. I'm not sure if you can still get it this cheaply though.

Its wise if you can pack a baby tripod in future. it'll help with all the night exposures. Its not that you're camera cannot take pictures as night. Its just that the exposure is sometimes so long that well.. handshake blurs out the picture.<br /> <br /> the thai people have tremendous respect for their king. Even though he has no formal powers save a few symbolic ones. He is greatly revered and respected throughout the kingdom. His birthday is a national holiday. I was told once, in 91 when there was a serious riot between the army and rioting university students. he appeared on the scene and asked both sides to stop fighting. and immediately. calm ensued. He's that powerful because all Thai people hold him in high esteem. Just look at the back of every thai coin you have.<br /> <br /> you're right to say that billboard ads are banned in singapore.that's why our cityscape and skylines are so clean and not inundated with flashing neon signs like in HK or in most parts of the world.<br /> <br /> have a good trip ahead. Look forward to continually reading each post of yours this week.
