Alias is for strangers. Not friends & acquaintances. Therefore things change.
I am for most part a creature of solitude. It is unfortunate the few close friends I have are busy ones.
The R&R in Thailand was a big disappointment. Yes, we found out how awesome the malls there are; indoor theme parks & water parks, dozens upon dozens of stores selling computer & phone items at a level. But that was it. All that failed to satisfy my thirst for cheap buys. And it annoyed me somehow.
My best loot there was embarrassingly a tube of wasabi for 60bht.
