Take that, international finance!

Yay, my new debit card arrived. And even better, it appears to work!

So, with this in mind, tomorrow i will be heading off to the Western province of Kanchanaburi, as originally planned for... Monday i think it was.

To be honest, i am looking forward to getting out of Bangkok. I've never been a big city person, and while i've enjoyed my time here, it feels a bit... i'm not sure that constricting is the right word, but it's as close as i can think. That's a weird thing to say given that i've gone out for more then 30km worth of walks while i've been here, but i think the combination of busy streets, weird eggy smog smell, and the heat work together to feel quite oppressive. Not much i can do about the heat anywhere in Thailand, but it'll definitely be nice to get into the countryside.

Just a random little observation - Thai TV seems to be very censored. They were playing the horror film 'Dusk til Dawn' last night, and i swear to god that they must have cut out 1/3 of the film. It really didn't make any sense at all. The other odd thing is that there is an Italian language channel, and they were playing 'Lost in Translation'... dubbed into Italian. That's almost mind blowing.

Hopefully there will be internet access in Kanchanaburi, but if i don't post for a couple of days, that's why.
