So So

I’m presently in transit in Taipei, looking at $700 bags from Prada and Dunhill. I saw the same Prada bag for $2 not 3 hours ago. Reverse culture shock begins...Digression: As a rather counterintuitive present to celebrate my quitting smoking, my father gave me a gold Dunhill lighter he inherited from his father. It’s really old and in great condition. I just saw a Dunhill lighter of the same ilk for $500. The nice salesman laughed when I asked how much he thinks mine is worth, “I think maybe a lot of money.” Good move quitting smoking, might have to cash it in to help pay for the trip.

Anyway, the internet here is so fast it’s not funny. I’ve done 5 blog postings in 10 minutes. So in honor of our hotelier Kinet at the Nokor Lucky and its mind numbingly slow internet, I post this sign for the So So Net company of Phnom Penh.

They need proofreaders there.
