Today, (Tuesday, although the blog date claims that it´s Monday) I´m leaving for a holiday in Thailand. Yippiiiee! This Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are National Holidays here in Cambodia thanks to the Kings´birthday, which gives me a opportunity to visit my dear friend Johan and his girlfriend Alon in Chiang Mai. Johan used to work at our office here in Phnom Penh, although not for the same organisation, and we became very good friends. Johan is actually the one who taught me how to drive a motorbike! (Mission impossible completed) Can you imagine what a patient person he is?! Since the beginning of this year, Johan and Alon have relocated to Chiang Mai, and they´ve invited me to come and visit them. Which I´m of course very happy to do! I´ll be away Tuesday-Monday, making a stopover at my beloved Atlanta Hotel in Bangkok on my way back to Phnom Penh.
I´ve been to Chiang Mai some times before, the first visit was in 1995 when I conducted my very first field study in South East Asia. The last time was four years ago when Janne and I spent a couple of days there on our way to Laos. I´m excited to go there again to see what it´s like now, and to see my dear friends of course.
By the way; I´m considering to buy a camera in Chiang Mai to replace my broken one, and the prices seems to be pretty good in Chiang Mai. Anyone of you who has experience from using either Nikon Coolpix P5100 or Nikon Coolpix S700? If so, please let me know what you think.
Ok, the taxi will pick me up to go to the airport in less than an hour now, so I guess I´d better start to do some packing now - last minute as always.... *sigh*...

Ahhh enjoy! And take tons of pictures of the turqoise water with your soon to be new camera. I use Canon and Casio so no experience with Nikon. Check battery length - huge minus when you have to re-charge a camera often.
