Black Holes and Revelations

So, I will be arriving in Bangkok in approximately 2 weeks. It's amazing that I started planning for this trip nearly 5 months ago, and now my departure is less than 2 weeks away. Despite being lazy in chronographing my planning by updating this blog, I can say that I believe I have covered all my basises, and I am completely ready for departure. I have keep meaning to provide a list of everything that I have done involving health (I got vaccinated!), money (I set up a special checking account), shopping (purchasing clothes, being gifted a backpack, etc), considering my camera, passports, figuring out an easy way to transfer pictures to these pages from Internet cafes, nailing down my itinerary, etc. But, I don't think such an update is necessary. Believe me, I think I have considered everything and things are properly planned, so I will spare you all the gory details, unless there is some great demand to know that I got vaccinated for Typhoid and that I purchased a new memory card for my camera.


One thing which I just discovered today which I am psyched about is that one of my favorite bands, Muse, is performing in Bangkok on Nov 28, which is my first full day in Thailand! So, I went ahead and bought two tickets about 30 seconds after I saw an article that they were playing there. I do realize that I am going to Thailand by myself and that it only takes a single ticket to get admited into a concert, however I bought 2 on a whime figuring that i can either sell one or give one away. At the very least, its a good way to make a new friend! Anyway, I found tickets on thaiticketmaster.com and purchased them. The site was kind of confusing because it was in both Thai and English, but I was able to navigate successfully through the site in order to purchase tickets. Of course, prior to entering my credit card information and hitting submit, it did not provide any information regarding how to pick up or where my tickets that I purchased wiull be sent. And then when I received the confirmation, it was all in THAI - which I do not know how to read. So, my first language barrier has occurred prior to even my arrival in Thailand. If anybody out there can read Thai, I would greatly appreciate a translation so you can let me know where to pick up my tickets, not that I will be able to find said location anyway.
