As Brent went off for some business, I took the time to visit the electronics district to visit this giant mall, Siam Square. I took the SkyTrain to Siam and then began shopping for a new camera. I eventually chose the same style and brand, but upgraded from 4 megapixels to 5 and it still fits my underwater housing, so I was pretty happy. Then I went to see Spiderman 2 in a gorgeous Thai theater. This theater was a VIP theater and had a seperate line, its own consession stand and the theater was really cozy - there wee only 12 rows, with 6 chairs to a row, but these chairs are like lush lazy boy recliner chairs, totally comfortable and spacious and the theater had an incredible sound system...it's what I would picture a theater room in Shaq's or some movie stars house! I also used the internet and got a haircut and later Brent and I went to KSRoad to meet up with the Canadian girls, but not too much happened and we eventually met up back at the hotel. I started to feel a bit sick

1Ouch!

.

The next day, Brent went off for business again, so I met up with the Canadian girls for some shopping as it was their last day before leaving for Canada. Jess and Lindsay decided to get tattoos with Thai writing, so we all went together and I took some funny pictures as they were not up for the pain involved. Later the girls decided they should see a Thai sex show or do more shopping (I honestly cant remember which, sorry girls) before going home so we went down to Patpong, the famous sex district of Bangkok where you can also do quite a bit of shopping. I still don't feel too well, but we get to Patpong and then the rain starts, sheets and sheets of rain. The tarps used as roofs are collapsing in places and it's difficult to stay dry. We lose Jen somehow and begin looking for her for like 30 minutes. Suddenly, I just grab a random vendor's plastic bag and walk over to a corner and BLAM, pure liquid orange vomit! This was only the second time in my life I have seen the pure liquid orange vomit, but since the first time was self-inflicted and resulted in the infamous line "Dude, I'm a Longhorn, I bleed AND puke orange!". I have no idea where the color or contents came from this time but it was a massive amount, practically filling up the bag and drawing a nice crowd! I tell LG they should go back to their hotel and see if Jen is there and if she isn't to call me and I'll go look for her again. We say our goodbyes and later LG calls to tell me Jen was there. I plop into bed for three days of sickness.

Note - Sometimes friends have great timing as being sick while traveling can really suck and having a nice place to stay can mean all the difference in the world. Courtesy of Brent, I was able to be comfortable while I was sick instead of being misreable!
