I am currently uploading pictures to ImageStation for you all. So I must blog while I wait. I'm in Bangkok right now, enjoying highspeed. There is a Starbucks just off of Koh Sahn which directly contributed to me actually coming to Bangkok. It's beautiful and air conditioned and there are leather couches and stained glass windows. I am totally off coffee since they only serve the crap(-Nescafe-boycott-)instant stuff. But just like alchoholics are always alchoholics, I will always be addicted.

I got a short coffee. My body can't handle the tall. I feel wired. It cost 50 baht. My lunch of pad thai cost 15 baht.

I also had to come into Bangkok because I finished my last english book last night (In the Skin of a Lion). The school director gave me a pile of the crappiest english books. I read one, Digital Fortress by the guy who wrote The Da Vinci Code. It was hysterical. It was about how the NSA is (valantly) trying to put a backdoor into the world's encryption standard which would allow them to (justly) read everyone's email. And those pesky EFFers are always on their backs! If only they knew the terror attacks that they are able to stop. The technology in the book does not make sense (actual plot revolves are SkipJack, where the main SkipJack flaw is that the NSA guy stuck in a line of code that lets only the NSA decode anything. And this was only discovered by one guy during the public review of the code...).
