Christer I had a chuckle with your post. It is all a matter of priorities. In my early days of skiing I used to pack my outdoor skiing clothes in with my skis in the long ski bag together with a few changes of underpants. My other 'evening' clothes were just what I wore on the plane.
One is only young once!
Hello Nick: Once I was both young and beautiful.
Now I am only beautiful.
My quota was limited to 15 kg so I had to pack my camera equipment in my suitcase in order to get my Qutest/Mscaler and headphone amp, headphone and chargers, cables, hardrives and laptop within the 5 kg carry-on allowance.
Your "snakes" tipped the scales by way too much.
I am used to 30 kg checked-in and 10 kg carry-on.
I did enjoy a week of downhill skiing earlier this year and a friend was trying to make me join another one in early March.
But I also seriously missed my swims in the Andaman Sea ,and when I stumbled upon this 250€ /29 days return flight online for the price of what a week of skiiing in Norway would cost just for skipass, I chose 4 weeks of daily swimming to get fitter than last time for late March or early April skiing instead.
Phuket is 70% down in tourism compared to normal and a surprisingly relaxed place to be right now.
As far as the Corona virus is concerned it seems to be more hazardous to be in northern Italy currently, judging from today's BBC news on the telly here.
But I think I will skip Canjam in Singapore this year again even if I decide to stay another month.
I usually stay 6 months every year in Asia so ony one month is very time short for me. I could have had a 2 week flight for as low as 150€.
Back on topic of Chord products I remember Rob saying he had been to a meeting with the local Chord rep here in Phuket,not so long ago.
I'd be interested to check out their place and selection while here.
Cheers CC
Just back home after a nice long warm swim at Karon Beach.
Gorgeous sunset too.
In Sweden I hadn't seen the sun for a month!
Apart from our skiing week in January and until now, weatherwise, this has been the most miserable winter I have ever experienced.
The only two things I miss here and now, are my Wave BNCs and my piano!
