An Oasis Of Tranquility

I started on a bit of a mission today with 2 things to complete.

  1. Download SEA maps
  2. Find some gloves

Unfortunately I am real suffering with not getting to sleep due to illness and jetlag. So when I woke at 10am I had missed having breakfast with Jarek and Emila (spelt correctly now 🙂) I was absolutely gutted about.

I had my breakfast then ambled down into town, aiming for a gaming shop, (egames not betting). There were young kids behind the desk and it’s real hard to explain even with Google translate exactly what I wanted. But a bit older guy came along and helped he just breezed through my garbled information and did it all easily.

Unfortunately I failed to achieve downloading the maps. But it gave me hope that it can be done. I have solicited my technical advisor Andy…. he’ll know the answer.

Then on the way back to the Homestay I decide to get my hair cut. I told him to do whatever he wanted.

Now looking sharp.

I had gone into multiple sportsish shops looking for gloves then I went into a shop with 2 women stringing badminton rackets in the window. I didn’t hold out much hope but I asked and they produced some, what look like weight training gloves. I cut off the funny wrist straps. They should be OK. I’ll give an update tomorrow.

I was impressed by 2 feats of scooter mastery and skill today

I’m not overly sure I want this done with a window open to the public

Well I seem to have got my appetite back.

So 50% of mission completed.
