Wish I Had My Camera

[longstebe]

Just thought I would start a topic on the day you wish you had your camera.

The other day I was walking the dog in the blistering Issan heat. Some dude was with his buffalo in the field.

5 mins later he comes cycling past me looking at me and smiling, I smiled back. Then I noticed he still had the

plastic on his vietnamese style hat from new.

It made my day anyway.

I try to make a point of taking my camera everywhere I go. I didn't one day when a friend and I went walking and regreted it. We saw a Thai street dog sitting up at a table next to the street. The dog had his butt on the seat, his front legs resting on the table top, and there was a beer bottle on the table in front of him. He sat there just like any other patron.

Stood on the roof of a Phuket hotel watching the Tsunami waves roll in.

That WOULD have been something to see! I actually would be dead if it hadn't been for my daughter asking me to come home for Christmas. I would have been in a beach shack at Kao Lak at the time of the Tsunami. I two families I usually stayed with got washed away and were never heard from again.

I went into a Country style bar once, and the local dog greeted me 100% Thai style, he got up on his back legs, and put both front paws together.... i could'nt believe it.... wish i had took my camera.

Went to a rural gas station once and the pump jockey had half a watermelon skin on his head. "Yen sabai" he explained to me after I asked him the reason why.

That does make sense.

Looks like I would have looked the stupid one for taking it off.

I was also one of the lucky ones. I was still in bed one block back from the beach. Still tired from the drive I made from

Pattaya 2 days before. I did have my camcorder for the aftermath though. Horrible. Drove through Khao Lak on the way back

up 2 days after just when the emergency services had not long got there. Piles of bodies everywhere.
