we are back in Geneva now. Today leaving to Bangkok.

mina is with my brother now.

my next camera, that I will most likely buy in Bangkok on the 30th

correction; i did not buy it in Bangkok. My brother bought it in NYC, but i had it for Thailand

This is the winter sports helmet with built-in headphones that receive Bluetooth® signals from a remote transmitter that plugs into your iPod® or other MP3 player, providing you with a personal soundtrack while skiing or snowboarding, ensuring no audio wires will impede your mobility.
The upper shell is durable injection-molded ABS, while the lower shell is made of a polycarbonate with an EPS foam liner. Includes 16 airflow vents, removable ear pads, vent plugs, easy-to-adjust straps, and a goggle-securing lock.

we went to yongsan, the biggest IT mall you think of. i was looking for the nikon d300 but it comes here tomorrow only, and the price is not better. i continue to be impressed with the gps…

I’m astonished by the amount of gps systems that the cars have here in korea… even the crappiest car in this town (Daegu) has a 7 inches gps with multimedia, 3d maps, video, mp3, … you name it.
I went to a shop on sunday and i saw several models. They run on windows. It does not look like windows mobile though. They have 500mhz and 4Gb of ram… incredible. Full video features, mp3, and what is more impressive, 3d navigation with buildings and so…  Price? around 600 us…. not bad eh?

look at this crappy van… the gps is huuuuge!

paradox

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.

We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things.

We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and  small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete…

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away

If you don’t send this to at least 8 people….Who cares?
