Today is the first day of the second school semester break. Final examinations ended quite roughly with Marketing yesterday because everyone was looking forward to go out for vacations instead of striving hard studying last minute for it... LOL


It was really funny to see everyone scrambling out of the hall to go home just like what the chickens did in the movie "Chicken Run" when the exam ended at 4pm...LOL... I headed to MPH store alone at M.V. after having some tea and snacks with Yoke Fung at 5pm.

I thought I can actually buy a book to kill my time for this semester break once I reach there but the prices of most books are too expensive. Most of the language books there are priced highly are Mandarin, Japanese and Thai. I do understand that the language books for Mandarin and Japanese are being priced at higher cost because they are gaining popularity to be spoken worldwide but THAI???

Here is the title of the book with its prices in Baht and our currency, Dollar below:


"Thai for Intermediate Learners - by Benjawan Poomsan Becker" at only 299 Baht in Thailand but $57 here!!!

I still can't believe my eyes that a book for learning Thai can be that expensive in the country I live. It is not even logical for high pricing a book imported from Thailand as the country is our neighboring country. I think local people would really have to rush into Krungthep as a trip for buying it... LOL

Anyways, I really don't have an exact idea how to spend my holidays. What are your suggestions? What are your plans then?
