Google Earth


Umm.. what happens when one's parents finally get connected to the Internet, learns how to manage Skype (after figuring out the "Big Button" pushing) and discovers Google Earth? Maniacal behavior! Zooming in and out on Bangkok, talks about "driving" here and there, and "push the blue spot" - unbelievable in the most positive way possible! :) 
Another hilarious discussion took place - tried to persuade a very timid person to just go somewhere with me this Saturday (be a bit spontaneous - jump in a taxi, go to the Sky-Train and get out, when a nice area comes by) - nothing extreme or anything, right? Outcome - like if I had fired off a horse tranquilizer! :) 
But, with some additional persuasion, the "adventure" might actually take place. I was so amused - maybe the challenge to make it happen (and yep, even a simple thing like that can transform into a challenge under certain circumstances) was too attractive to just let go. As with everything else that's hard to get :P
Anyway, as a plan B, I have contacted (bow to Facebook inventors) some foreigners living here - and, no matter what happens with the original agenda, I WILL go out this weekend. Mojito and Mai Tai as promised :P
