Support? jaah tak

Jeg modtog en mail fra Tele2adsl i dag. Der var jo lidt problemer med faktureringen da Esben flyttede, idet internet abonomenet stod i hans navn, så han blev ved med at modtage regningerne. Det var jo ikke godt, så jeg sendte dem en mail d. 28. september 2005, hvor jeg bad om at de sendte fremtidige regninger til mig.
I dag fik jeg så svar tilbage om at de fremover ville sende regningerne til mig på min adresse. Det er jo fint de endelig vil gøre det, men en svartid på ca. 1½ måned kan da ikke være acceptabelt for sådan et firma, kan det?

So, I finally got around to scanning and uploading some more of my pictures from Thailand. The resolution is not that good, and looking at them it’s no secret that they are scanned, but anyway…

(Oh, that’s one more post. Think I can get another one in, before evening? You never know.)

Must … participate … in … democratic … process

Eller, jeg har faktisk deltaget i den demokratisk process. Jeg var nemlig nede og brevstemme i går, fredag. Det gik ret let og smertefrit. Da jeg gik ud fra valgstedet blev jeg dog et kort øjeblik i tvivl om jeg havde stemt rigtigt. Jeg så nemlig et opslag over valgforbundne. Udover det skræmmende at Venstre og Dansk Folkeparti er i valgforbund (så en stemme på Søren Pind faktisk kan være en stemme på Louise Frevert – så skal man altså være meget fan af Søren Pind for at kunne få sig selv til det…), så så jeg at en masse af de små partier og lister var i valgforbund med SF og Enhedslisten. Så jeg tænkte, det kunne måske have været lidt sjovt at have stemt på Kærlighedspartiet eller Cykel Logisk Institut. Men sådan skulle det ikke gå – og det er nok også meget godt.

Jeg brevstemte fordi jeg skal være tilforordnet på selve valgdagen, og ikke samme sted som jeg skulle stemme, så for at slippe for at skulle løbe gennem byen på selve dagen er det en god ide at have stemt inden, så det gjorde jeg.

Så har jeg også fået mine billeder fra Thailand fremkaldt og dem regner jeg med at scanne ind og uploade snarest, så hold øje med http://sbc.lir.dk/gallery/Thailand2005.
Ellers er det jo langt tid siden jeg har “blogget”, og der er sikkert sket en milliard ting som kunne have sin plads her, men jeg tror jeg stopper nu – nogle gange kan det jo betale sig at splitte sine indlæg lidt op – så ser det ud som om man skriver mere/oftere. Stay tuned.

I went on a trip around the island today. Among other things I saw some budist temples, some scenic view point and a waterfall. There were a lot of germans in the group I was with, and it is times like this that I wish I was better at german – so many parts of danish and german are similar, but yet, I can’t understand them. Sometimes I could make up scentences, or the theme of the conversation, but folowing the talks was not possible for me. But some of them were nice enough to speak some english from time to time. All in all they were a friendly lot.

Unfortunatly my digital camera had a memory problem (in that I had forgotten to delete the old pictures), so I only took two pictures with that. I did however take some pictures with my old “analog” camera. So I hope they turn out great when they get printed – but clearly I can’t upload those pictures.

At one of the temples I was blessed (I guess) by a monk – and got a wristband for “good luck for you” as he put it. He said a lot of other things to, but I’m pretty sure they were not in a language that I master. And while he spoke he splashed water on my head. I don’t really feel any more lucky (or unlucky) after, but hey, if nothing else, it is a good story.

I also got to do some hiking (in my sandals!) up to the waterfall, and was rewarded by a nice swim in the water. Very refreshing.

On a more genreal note, there has been some days with bad weather (as I have mentioned?), but it seems to be turning around now. Yesterday was good, today was good, and I’m hoping tomorow brings good weather to. But while it was raining / cloudy I did take some pictures of my suroundings. They have been uploaded as well.

Think that is all from me for now – one week until I go home. How will I spend that time? Maby going for a swim and getting some sun? Yes, that sounds like a good plan!

Not just sun and sandy beaches

Sunshine is not the only thing they have out here. The last 3 days have showed another weather. Rain, wind and clouds has been the order of the day. And two days ago a branch went through the roof of my bungalow (picutre here: http://sbc.lir.dk/gallery/Thailand2005/s3600001_002). It did get fixed quite fast though.

Hopefully it will start clearing up soon – not much to do here when the weather is bad…

Shöpping

Så har jeg fået det første af mit skræder syede tøj. Sælgeren fik mig jo lige overtalt til at købe lidt mere, så det sidste har jeg ikke fået endnu. Alt i alt rejser jeg herfra med 3 nye jakkesæt (et beige, et blåt og et sort), en frakke, nogle skjorter og 3 slips. Her ses jeg med frakken og det blå jakkesæt på (og sammen med sælgeren, der kalder sig Thomas og kalder mig “my friend”) http://sbc.lir.dk/gallery/Thailand2005/s3600001_001

Det er vist også i dag (sådan cirka) at halvdelen af min tid hernede er gået. Tjah- hva’ ska’ a’ sie’? Her er stadig dejligt varmt! :)

I think Esben might find the lable of this mineral water bottle funny. (You might have to zoom in a bit.)

Else nothing really interesting / new is going on down here. (There is a limit to how many blog entrys you can make of “got up, ate, went to the beach, read math, went for a swim, read more, ate and went to sleep”.) But I am still enjoying it! :)

I might end up using more money at the tailor than I am going to use on everything else put together. But that might be related to the fairly cheep prices on food here. A warm meal for lunch, with a soda or drink (including a tip) can be had for roughly 15 – 20 danish crowns. Also the local salespeople on the beach seem to thinks I look like I need to relax more than I already am – they keep wanting to sell me canabis. I have told them all no so far, but the next time maby Ill ask what the price is, just to check.

The weather here is still great, the water hot and my math book as exciting as ever.

I went to see a tailor today (after getting some quick fashion advice from back home – thanks Mark), so it would seem that I will be leaving Samui with 2 new suites.
On the way home along the beach I saw a elephant – the pictures are not great, but they are over here somewhere: .
Else, I don’t think I have anything interesting to tell – still alive, doing well and enjoying life.

Tjah – her er varmt!

Så er jeg kommet frem – er kommet mig over jetlag (næten) og har fundet stranden osv.

specielt dette, som er udsigten fra der hvor jeg spiser morgenmad.

Nåh, det var bare lige et livstegn – jeg har en strand jeg skal ligge og blive rød(ere) på.
