i am having technical difficulties... after my camera having a minor to medium defect, my phone decided to die... not just frozen....... totally black screen and no reaction to the typical rebut tricks....
in the middle of bangkok (far from the traveler friendly arias of "free wifi here" and english speaking locals.....) and (only) aaaaafter finding out that there are actually no "real" apple stores in thailand (really, apple!?) i did have a little moment of "ok, breath and chill". then, immediately thoughts of "how silly that i am so dependent on technology... phones... wifi and all that crap." but then i though about my family... and decided that there is actually nothing silly about wanting to inform them about what country i am currently in as well, as keeping in touch with my friends. aaaand it just so happens that i need a camera, a laptop, a phone and wifi for this little blog. so yes, i agree with most people that the cell phone usage has gotten out of control, but we can't denny that it has become a necessity.... and anyway instagraming is just fun.
