Sawadee Pee Mai or Sook San Van Pee Mai. May you have good health and prosperity. Thank you for your visit!

While I was in Kansas I gave away my digi-cam to my youngest sister. She’s the only one in the family that doesn’t have a digi-cam and I wanted her to have my old one so she can use it at school. In my family we have this practice of passing down old clothes, used furnitures, used appliances, as well as old gadgets. We even passed down old cars to other relatives and nothing goes to waste. I am sure other Laotians are the same way.

Before I came back to the Netherlands I went to Best Buy to find a replacement for my old digi-cam. Well, to my luck it was out of stock and then the store didn’t have it on the list anymore since the new model was coming out. To my surprise Johan got me a new Ixus 800 for my belated birthday gift. I am very happy with the new camera and still trying to get familiar with all the settings.

Since I like to take lots of pictures I decided to reward myself with a Media Drive. I went to a local media store (Dixons) over the weekend and bought a late Christmas present for little me. I did some research online for about a couple of weeks and couldn’t find one in stock for the price that I want to spend. Dixons has the Sitecom media drive for the lowest price in all over Europe but was out of stock online. It was meant to be when I walked into the store on Saturday and found one in stock. I bought one in less than 5 minutes of browsing around.

This baby will come in very handy when I am on a vacation. I can’t wait to test it out. I have a feeling that I will pass this media drive to one of my siblings in a year or two.
