Enduring the aches

I have been sitting at my computer all day. Although I took a couple of breaks to show some people the house I will be renting next door, it finally caught up to me.  My back, my legs, they are all cramped up.  Not complaining though.....I played and played and learned some more about HTML today....the do's and don'ts! 

It was pretty hot here today, we have been having some cool weather lately from the rainy season being upon us.  I will have to go get myself a Thai massage soon.  I will get some pics of that for sure.  Two hours of relaxation for less then 10 bucks.  Gota love that eh! 

 

I had another eye opener today in talking with some UK folks living here for a while.  They tell me of all the taxes etc.  Just to cross London there is a 5 pound charge.  I read on the news last week that the government plans on installing GPS type trackers on all vehicles and charge 3 dollars\Km.  YIKES!!  This supposedly is to curtail the rising amount of road traffic they face.  Gas now is what?  Almost a buck a litre in Canada, now maybe more in some spots.  The UK pays about 12 dollars to a gallon for fuel.  Do the math, I think that's a lot.

 

All this to say that my god the world is getting expensive.  I won't even touch on the rising cost of power.  Fuel here is about half.....most things are half.  Although if I want to run down to the shopping centre where they carry foods much like we eat in Canada, I would be paying much more.  Imagine paying over $ 11.00 CDN for a box of cornflakes two times smaller then you're used to purchasing back home.  Exactly....you guessed it, I eat more rice then a warehouse rat.  I like spicy foods and will eat with the best of them here but it has to be controlled for me.  Bung you up for a month, if you know what I mean!!

 

Now I love McDonalds and yes I did see the movie "Supersize Me"  (Great movie\Documentary) but it is so dam yummy!  I will mention though that a supersize here is about the same size if not smaller then a small order in Canada.  For a number 8 meal (double cheeseburger combo meal), it is 108 baht.  That is...ummm with a 33 cent exchange=$ 3.27.

 

I am do to hit them up this week..I make it a point to go when I take in a movie..Batman Begins.....Crazy in anticipation..........
