Hi Peoples, I know I haven't been writing all that often, but it's been hard to find an internet cafe that I can be satisfied with. They have fast connections, but the computers themselves are crap, and so then it takes all day to upload pictures to the site.

Also, I haven't really been doing much that I feel is blog-worthy. I've been obsessed lately with this idea of exporting Thai clothing and accessories to the States and Greece. Obviously, there are alot of issues involved with this process and I've been trying to make sense of trade and quota restrictions. Honestly, it's nice to feel like I'm doing something productive, it's getting kinda boring just being on vacation.

I'm sure I'm gonna get alot of sympathy on that last one ;)

It's interesting here in Thailand, I'm getting a totally different response from people than what I'm used to. I guess I'm feeling a bit ignored. There aren't many single girls travelling (at least I haven't met any) and the guys here aren't too interested in me when there are thousands of Thai girls readily available. So this is the difficult part of this trip and up until now, I was so spoiled by everyone in Greece, I had forgotten what it's like to be alone.

But, I am going out and doing things occasionally with people from the guest house, here's a picture of a few of the guys. Lucas' wife Am owns the guesthouse View image View image
