i couldnt understand what he was trying to do, but it seemed like i

was not the only one, judging from gazes of people.

used sneakers
Originally uploaded by jabberer.

strangely saw many shops selling used shoes - especially sneakers! i

wondered where the supply comes from, but didnt have time to ask. used

sneakers in this weather condition do not sound very tempting.

blatant copycat

imobile - a local mobile phone manufacturer - does not seem to have

any reluctance whatsoever in making copies of any popular mobile

phones of other companies.

‘Symbian up program’

i asked a lady what it was

she checked my phone (she didnt know much about the phone but managed

to do well marketing). she said “you dont have IT”. she took me to a

guy with a laptop playing puzzle games. they ‘up programmed’ my phone

by getting a 1GB memory card, copying everything from my existing

card’s content, games/themes/ring tones of this guy’s choices, and

lots of maps & apps in Thai. not so useful for me, but i am sure lots

of local people might find it attractive.

the guy in the picture is trying to set all the installations on the

phone once copying is done. his fingers moved like magic - so fast!
